Holmfirth Folk Festival, 2010ish, Yashica FX-D (probably Yashica 35/2.8 ML), Fuji Superia 400.

By the way, I do still have a Paxette viewfinder for 38/85 mm lenses. You are very welcome to have it for your collection as it is just gathering dust here. PM with you address and I'll send it.

I had a Paxette which came with a Schneider Xenar, 50/2.8. That was a classy lens. The camera was sold on a while ago to fund another camera collection excursion.

A view into St. Thomas a Becket, Heptonstall forming an interesting tunnel effect. Yashica FX-D, possibly Yashica ML 35/2.8. Tri-X.

All done! Over the Fences' at the post by a length! 'Tug-of-War' a close second! Followed by 'Mixed Rugby' in third place! Congratulations to trainer RaglanSurf.

That I will do if I'm lucky enough.

When the slides come up for sale I would like to get the link to the sale/auction, if you can do that. Or I could make an offer?

Definitely magic lantern slides, very interesting. Lots look as if they are hand coloured. If you are attributing a value to the charity, don't undersell them, take a look on eBay and you'll see how the price of magic lantern slides is at the moment. Obviously some will be more collectable than...

I meant no excuses for me!

Polling has opened. I'll close voting on Monday evening if that is OK with everyone. I've put it on the calendar so no excuses this time.
