Ben Folds was interviewed on Front Row, Radio 4, yesterday evening, talking about his love of old film cameras and getting the group back together again, can no doubt be found as a listen again on the R4 website. Always thought he was a very gifted singer-songwriter.

And another song from the 80's The Passions- I'm in Love with a German Film Star http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkismiXva3M

Yes I was out taking some photos, Saturday evening, along the canal by the old Chance's Glass glass works nr. Oldbury, trying out my new 180mm f3.2 lens for my Fuji GX680. The pictures will be processed this week in ADD mode !

Bought an F3 target from Wolf Faust - And I've tried it out with a photo of Edtog taking part in a mtb race at Cannock Chase, shot on Provia 100. The first photo is how it came out of my Polaroid Sprintscan 120 used with Vuescan, unprofiled and with no colour adjustment.- And then with...

The "photographer" Juergen Teller uses one, now if that doesn't put you off I don't know what will.

The results look good so I've taken the plunge and ordered from Mr Faust an IT8 target for Fuji slide film, 35mm format. I'll be intrested to see the results and if they're any good I'll post something up here.

Fine set of photos, Andy, for me the pick of the set is no.2, really like the range of blues and the composition in that one.

Well at least it was Pan F, that should give you a better than average chance of not being too fogged.

If you can get the scsi connection going and your using Linux then have a look at Vuescan and see if your scanner is supported.

Intresting idea but there might be a problem with newton rings if the negs are layered together. Edit- Then reading the thread again I see that's already been mentioned but I certainly think the idea is worth a go, it might just work really well !!

Just got into using Provia so I'll just have to bite the bullet. I only use 120 film and at the moment a pack of 5 is about £20 so I'll wait to see what sort of increase in cost is going to happen but perhaps I will need to be sitting down when I find out the new price.

And a much better premises with a lot more room for all that film stuff. Went over a few weeks ago to pick-up some Provia and was very impressed with the gas towers nearby, so the new location is also rich in photographic potential aswell ! Well worth a visit.

I've used a Mamiya C220 for many years and it's quite a bit lighter than the C330f, which is quite heavy camera for it's size. I think any of the Mamiya tlr range can make a very good introduction to medium format photography. For £70 though your probably going to be looking at a fairly well...

Fine set of photos, nice work, really like the tones your getting in the b&w images and I think the compositions work very well especially in the one quoted above, look forward to seeing more :clap:
