I tried this 'RAW' business in my Pentax K10D and honestly I can't see any difference !! I used the DNG 'Raw' and put it into 'FastStone IMage Viewer' as my PhotoShop 7 doesn't do RAW processing -- there was a pic of a young girl I took with bounce flash at her Birthday party and the face was over -exposed and even with RAW I could not get the detail back. In the Darkroom with FILM I have no probs getting detail into highlights that are a bit dense - I just burn them in with a hole in a piece of card or with my hands ---

It still has the 1/180th fastest flash synch speed though doesn't it ? I do a lot of fill-in flash outdoors -- even on a Canon T90 I have on loan from a Camera Club member it has 1/250th second flash synch and so does the Nikon FE 2 and others.

I suffered CONDENSATION on my latest trip to the Philippines July-August -- I ruined my Canon Video camera which wouldn't work until I got back to UK, then I got it under front element of my 24mm f2.8 Carl Zeiss Jena lens and under the rear element of my Pentax 28-70mm f4 SMC Pentax-FA lens and that is still there !

I bought one of these for my daughter 'digitalgirl' on EPZ to go with her mju760 I won and gave her -- she is trying it out right now !!

I was GIVEN FREE a FILM Minox 35 GT and got it working yesterday with a replacement PX27 6 Volt Alkalie battery as the Mercury one was dead -- and developed the film and got good results !

yes :I too had to open a Yahoo and Flickr account then when I tried to upload a photo it would not work - there was no 'browse' button to find photos in my computer but there was a 'submit photo' thing in yellow which did not work ! Is this GENUINE ?

I'd be scared to take it out in case it got rain on it and all the 'Gold' went Green !

I got my Rolleicord Vb for £60 but they can KEEP their digital Hasselblad ! I prefer FILM !

I still like my ME Supers!

What a GREAT site! Talk about Ying Tong Tiddle I Po (Re: The GOONS ) !!Couldn't understand a word !

I bought some illegal mercury PX625 batteries off a stallholder in Chelmsford Market (nudge,nudge, wink, wink. say no more etc). Maybe they will sell 'illegal Pentax 6x7's' there now!

Good Old Pentax!!! Keep going!!!

Will it do FERRANIACLOR from the 1950's and 60's ?

I support the movement back to 'Real photography'! Pan F in ID11 1+1 Rules!

Lichfield gone Donovan gone! - not many 'characters' left in photography,only Bailey (and ME ) still going!

I saw these advertised at the February 'Focus' show but there were NO SAMPLE PRINTS from the films on show ! Pity, not EVERYONE wants 'digital' !

Mix your own 'Microphen', 'Perceptol' and ID11 from the chemicals,very CHEAP and easy; I know the formulae!

Good news;now I hope they will bring out some more surfaces for their Multigrade paper. I miss a nice 'lustre'; the 'Pearl'is a bit boring and I find it leaves drying marks very easily.

What a GREAT set of Photos - yes, I still call them that rather than 'Images' From a Fellow Film Fan.....

You should go in for your RPS Fellowship with your photos -mind you, the SUBS get DEARER the more qualifications you get as I know from when I got my Associateship for Scientific Applications in 1970!(TAX DEDUCTIBLE though if you're a pro)

You asked "what do you think of my night shots" - well, they are excellent, taken at just the right time when there is a little tone in the sky. Regards, Peter.

Excellent work in your portfolio which would grace any exhibition/club competiton. Your natural history shots would give our Andrew Gell a run for his money at Brentwood Photo. Club and he's a well known safari/wild-life photographer who learnt ALL his craft from member ship of the club.

Your pics are already more than just SNAPS,have more faith in yourself ! Regards, Peter. ( An 'Old 'Pro )
