I blame the father-in-law :ROFLMAO: All my 35mm gear, medium format and darkroom equipment had pretty much all been sold by the late 90's. Last month, my father-in-law gave me three adapters, I found out (On here) they were for Minolta to Nikon and Nikon to Sony. No idea what I was going to do...

Appreciated Nick. Budget wise it's about right, I've just been watching the video and reading a few of the reviews. I think at the moment the flat bed Terry suggested might be worth saving for!

I saw something very similar to the Plustek in a charity a few months ago for £10.00. I resisted the temptation as I knew it would trigger a desire to buy a 35 mm film camera! I should have bought it, as on Sunday I picked up a mint condition Zenit 11 with Helios 50 mm lens, and now I want to...

That looks a handy size and makes sense for travelling.

Appreciate your help again Terry. I had no idea you scan negs with a flatbed, would also be handy for all the old family photographs as well.

That would have helped wouldn't it :giggle: 35 mm fella.

Hello :) Could anyone recommend a budget 35 mm neg scanner please?

Appreciated Kell. I'm not too keen ordering from Amazon. Had to return far too many items in the past that arrived broken or with parts missing. I ordered the Sigma 150-600 a few years ago, that went back due to focusing issues, Nikon fit, they sent me a replacement, Canon fit!

Thanks again Terry :)

Appreciated GreenNinja67. Sounds simple enough, it's just I've seen them from £3.00 up to £34.00, some have optics. So all I need is a plain adapter ring, M42 to Nikon F mount?

Hello. I've picked up a few old prime lenses, M42, and I'd like to try them on my Nikon D7000/D7100. Could someone please tell which adapter I need? Hopefully a cheap and cheerful one:giggle:

Appreciated Steve. I'm baffled, it says for attaching Nikon lenses to a Sony camera, but the adapter mounts to a Nikon body, and takes a Nikon lens!

Hello :) I have never used an adapter, and yesterday my father-in-law gave me three. He couldn't remember which lenses they're for and I'm clueless! There's a Nikon MA, which won't connect to my Nikon D7000/D7100, the mount is a little too big. The other two say Nikon (G) NEX and Nikon NEX...

A shot from last night over North Manchester...

A Nuthatch, but I still can't tell the difference between male and female :giggle:
