Aha ok, do you think you'll like 60mm then ?

Nikomat FTn for sale UK only £35 posted. Meter flaky

Yep £22 when new, also British Culture Archive are working on a new one, hardback better quality, but content quite similar to Youth Unemployment, called Vandalism or something like that, that one will be £50 new, with a bigger print run of 5000. So it might push the used prices of the old one down

As well as screen resolution, some platforms downgrade the image more than others, and unfortunately BSky is not one of the better ones. It's still hard to beat Flickr in that regard.

Fantastic, I expected it would be, I only asked as it's hard to tell on social media 👍

Excellent yes, I remember this one, did the re-scan make a lot of difference?

Cool X-Pans 😎

Thanks Gerry !

Hmm yes, my D80 has not been used since I made that comparison, it's hard to get excited by digits.

Having said that, the 58mm Minolta's were very popular, and when mounted on an X700 gave a very nice 1:1 look through that viewfinder.

Think my brain may have stopped working, what's the 1.5 multiple for ?
(My 60mm macro for Nikon gets used for very little apart from negative scanning.)

Yep bought that one new in the 70s, still going strong.

Demo mode is key 👍

LOL indeed not, although I seem to remember a similar amount of brown fried food 😄

Many years ago I worked for a company out of Beaumont 👍 Visited a few times, the Don't Mess With Texas souvenirs prove I went 😆

100%

I think Heart of Gold may have been my 2nd 7" after buying Horse With No Name as my 1st, back in '72 I think. Thankfully my brother bought the album so I didn't have to 😄

Brilliant, yes, I guess he never looked 'young' his whole life !

Think I'll pack it in and buy a pick up
Take it down to L.A.

LOL, ok let's go punk rock style 🤣

TIL that this has rocketed in value, which leaves a very bitter sweet feeling inside.

It's yours, let me know when and I'll get it drum scanned !
I'm totally looking forward to the album now, I'm thinking it'll be a fusion of King Crimson and AC⚡DC 🙌

Great 👍

Cool, zero fog on yours for some reason, even compared to HC110 which in theory should be low fog. Looking forward to your scans 👍

They look great (much better than others I've seen) what did you develop the roll in, Adonal 1+25 as usual ?

Strange, one of these baskets was mentioned in a story on Radio 4 Extra this morning, and I was puzzled as I don't remember seeing them, and then you only go and post a photo of one !

Thanks both, here's to next time 👍👍
