Oldest is some colour Fuji slide and neg about 2006 exp. then some newer, Ilford B&W around 2011 exp. Always in domestic fridge.

I also have some old film, but it’s been stored in the fridge, would it still need an exposure increase?

I'm conscious of that, which puts me off 1300-1400 used which seems typical, which still could be a grey camera. Might wait to see if grey drops a little more and go for one.

Thanks for the comments, i’ll Keep an eye out for a bargain. That said I guess after Christmas could be better, 850 is at launch cost I guess and will stay like that till after Christmas rush and sales, then perhaps drop a little? I did make the mistake to compare 850 to 810 and 800. Reads an...

Filmdev website seems to take me around in a loop and I can't size the files size options!

I wasn't questioning the camera's ability or quality, more from a value and value for money perspective of best time to buy. Prices may drop a bit more perhaps as D850 takes over? Perhaps consider a D800 as well?

With the 850 now arriving is the D810 a good buy? probably used. Currently have a D7200, which I'd keep for compact travelling duties. My main interest is landscape and similar. I have been using a Contax N system, the NDigital, while ancient and low res and noisy by today's standard did...

159 arrived and is very nice as Contax should be, with the 45mm fitted is so neat and compact....pleased with this. The FE2 is a disappointment, it looks fine, but feels some what tired !! foam seals going as well, nothing like the Contax quality... The 24mm focus is little slack but glass is...

My CZ 45mm F2.8 Pancake lens arrived today.... I knew they were small but heck it's tiny, :jawdrop: Why I never bought one years ago???? will make great compact set-up on the 159mm

A little weekend activity has resulted in buying a Contax 159 and a 45mm Pancake lens…..Wanted an S2b’s but they are over priced and going for too much… well they don’t sell from week to week, so good luck to the sellers on that. Oh and I also picked up a Nikon FE2 with 24mm Lens for a...

The NX is missing from the shot, that arrived after this was taken some tome back.

My main Contax is Digital though.... ;)

One of the reasons I went for the Canon was I was expecting to use the C/Y lenses with an adaptor, but I found it pretty poor with the adaptors available back 5 years ago, in the end to much hassle for little gain over the L series lenses I had. So I gave up, sold it and went N system for my...

This thread maybe short lived as I guess "we" could be few and far between. As I long term fan and user wonder if anyone else is... It started many years ago when I bought a new RX, then collected a load of primes to use... Later added a 159 as second body, lovely little camera.. With the...

For some reason only just got around to signing up..... despite being into photography for over 30 yeas !!!... Passion is B&W, and like film when I have time to use it.... Also a Contax fan, have most of the N system, had a few C/Y items in the past as well. Thinking of picking up another...
