There will be a new set of terms and conditions if we move to EE. Who can tell if they're significantly different? A quick scan suggests they're pretty standard.

That's probably about the right resolution depending on the quality of the print. I did do a comparison of some scanning approaches, starting from a print, in part of the Big Scanner thread here.

I'd be happy to wait out the current contract, but they say that's not possible. So I agree, they are terminating the contract early and there shouldn't be a cancelation charge. I think their argument is that transferring to EE fulfills the contract.

They agreed to supply me with FTTC broadband and home phone for 18 months ending January 2027, so, yes they have changed the terms of the contract!

Sorry, I thought it would come across in the quoted post that started this, but it didn't. Here's the message: As I understand it, moving to EE should be the same price and length of contract. So that doesn't sound too bad financially. The box with new modem etc would presumably be delivered...

Thanks! I think the relevant section is this: "Phone and broadband providers can change the terms of a contract but they must give you at least one month's notice and a right to exit the contract without penalty if the change does not benefit you. However, you won’t have the right to exit the...

Since this is no longer about email, I thought a new thread would be more appropriate. I'm just off the phone with PlusNet, and I am very unhappy. I have 8 months of an existing broadband plus home phone contract to go. The lady on the phone was adamant that my options are ONLY the two described...

The only issue that I know of with some versions of the 8200i SE is that there was a problem with Vuescan. I bought a 8200i 18 months ago; Silverfast SE worked fine, but I'd get weird positioning errors one some frames with Vuescan. Ed Hamrick wrote back to my report, after an exchange: "It’s a...

Not directly related to email, but today Plusnet have told me I'm no longer welcome and they're shunting me off to EE! I guess BT, who own Plusnet and recently (?) bought EE have decided to rationalise their offerings. So Plusnet will be "broadband only" while EE will be "broadband plus...

I must remember this excellent turn of phrase. Another camera just arrived, nuffink to do with me, love, but I'd better just test it out, anyway! ;)

I _think_ the earlier Mamiya 645s including the 1000 did not have interchangeable backs that would allow you to easily change film stock in the field. ISTR they have film inserts, but you'd need a dark bag to swap them... A random page I found suggests this was rectified in later "Pro" and other...

You should be able to get an idea of the viscosity of your Adox HC-110 by turning the bottle upside down, watching how the air bubble moves. My original bottle, really was syrupy, the Adox much less so.

XP2 with the standard C41 process is pretty forgiving for over/under exposure. But if there's not a separate way to set exposure and the meter's throwing up red flags, then that's an issue. I'd go for Kentmere 100 if you want a slower film (200 ISO is just the one stop if 400 is too fast, so 100...

I visited the Knife Angel in May 2019, I think on its 3rd stop (previously Liverpool and Hull, since it was completed in 2018). Kodacolor 200 in my Pentax LX.

A month ago I finished the litre bottle of HC-110 I opened in 2018. Like @Barney, I bought a 500 ml bottle of Adox HC-110. In my case this occurred partly because of an article by Jonny Martyr, and partly because I had trouble finding anything else!. It is a definite yellow colour but nowhere...
