I'll watch that when I get in this evening:)

I avoid city centres unless I have to work in one. I deal with idiots all week at work so try to avoid meeting any more when I’m off :ROFLMAO: I hope film booms again, more new cameras and cheaper film (hopefully).

This is how I feel about using film too. You feel more involved. On the matter of resurgence, I’ve never seen anybody over the past 20+ years shooting film when I’m out. I almost always see dslr/mirrorless shooters. Even when I’m in the middle of nowhere I bump into at least one person with a...

I was right, you have a camera problem lol! That might be a year away too.

Not tempted to get another mc-a now they appear to have fixed the spacing?

I never wind on until I take the shot, it’s a bit of a natural habit now. It always bites me on the bum though when I rush to get a shot and nothing happens when I press the shutter button……and then it’s too late. You appear to have a choice of cameras to use of late. Are the new/old ones...

The 17 wins hands down. Better lens, no faults with any of mine at all. I just wish it had a better body build. It’s nice to hold but just feels cheap, especially the back. The dials spin too easily too on mine. Still contemplating a second mca in silver though. The locking lever on the mca is...

Yes, I’m keeping it. Images are a bit hit and miss compared to the Pentax but it’s only taking snapshots. It flares really easily, even with strong side sun, it may be the supplied filter not helping too. I’ll try a different film, I don’t like hp5. But these were just scanned and inverted and...

Also discovered that the frame lines in the viewfinder are a very rough estimate.

Here's a few. hp5+ @400 Not too bad for hc110 that was bought way before 2020. Digitalised using my om-3 and 30mm macro. Shot at apertures up to f8 and using auto and zone focus. It hates any sort of light hitting the lens! fortunately 99% were on grey flat days.....

All done. Risked the 110, just drying now. They look ok. I think there’s 39 images, maybe 38.5. Spacing isn’t even but the only overlaps are at the start of the roll when I wasn’t winding fully and had to do mini winds to advance fully. Lots of dog and canal shots and a burnt out train...

I’ll just be happy if there’s something on the roll lol! I’d did take photos of any old crap just to get through the roll. Can’t remember most of them, it’s soooooo long ago. I’ve got a roll of colorplus 200 in a 17 from last year. It expired in June 2025, thought I’d pop it in to use it and...

Usually do too but I had a job squeezing my finger into the hole. Got no nails to speak of either. May get some mono bath stuff. Don’t want to go to town because I’m not sure how it’s working yet.

Roll finished :banana: What a racket rewinding it, also had to keep the rewind button pressed in with my finger. That was not easy, my fingers didn’t really fit into the recess. They may have done when I was 5! Jus need to check my hc110, it looked like treacle when I last checked:oops: :$
