We've just been doing our monochrome printing for the december monthly - don't forget the handing-in is next week. December always catches us out as Christmas makes it such a short month. Back to monochrome - it's nice to see some again. With colour being so easy now the humble black and white print...

My goodness, that is indeed an unusual view!

Well done, Carpmirror, you are getting to grips with this digital thing!

Onre problem always was that the price of 220 film was more than double that of 120, so apart from not having top change films so often there was a price penalty.

I had a Mamiya 6 once, with all three lenses, and it is a superb camera.

Many thanks for that Harry. It was a great evening and now Jim and Glenys have carried that one off with panache, there's nothing they can't do!

Anyone remember using fast films? They had a character all of their own, fine grain not being one of them. Royal X Pan in 120 size only was 1250 ASA. Kodak High Speed Recording Film 2475 was something between 1000 and 64,000 ASA depending on what you did with it. I think for the latter you processed...

They are yours.

I'll have to save up for a M8

You know you want one....

We have an opened pack of DVD -R discs that we don't need. We discovered that we needed +R.

First person to lay claim to the -R discs can have them!
