Liverpool - Olympus EM1 MkII 40-150R

No worries. The important thing is you got a camera and now the journey begins for your 7 year old. :cool:

I use DDX at 1:4 for 11.5 minutes at 20c. My next roll @1600 will be in the same solution but at a 17 minute dev time. I have a roll of 400 in my T90 which I am shooting at 800. I have a roll of 100 in my Exa 500 but am waiting for sunshine ;) I look forward to seeing your results,

Thank you, that's my favourite too.

I appreciate the comments and yes the Vuescan settings I have does send them out a bit flat. I could have spent more time tweaking them in PP (or rescanning them) but Kentmere 400 really only gives you its contrast when you work with it at +1 or +2. My next roll will be at +2.

The camera: Kentmere 400 developed using Ilford DDX. Shot in Manchester (on a very bright and wet day - yes, they do exist) and Rossendale. At base ASO it is a flat film but improves at 800 and even 3200 from what I've seen posted by others.

I have a Fujifilm Finepix S4800 that might fit the bill. Takes AA batteries which means you don't have to remember to charge a battery pack. If that would be of interest drop me a PM.

It really depends on what you like to shoot. A very popular lens for use on digital cameras is the Helios 44 series. But as you can see from the posts here, there are so many options. I would recommend getting an M42 to M4/3 adapter (I use K&F concept adapters bought direct from them) to...

Good spot! Now you've made it that I can't correct it though so I'll look like an idiot forever :LOL:

The camera badly needs a service as the viewfinder is so opaque as to be almost useless. The lens too has a bit of haze which softens the images. The purpose of sing ti was to make sure it worked before committing to a service when funds allow. Couple of shots from Manchester on Kentmere 400.

Ross, thanks for logging in and telling us a little about your Dad. I cannot imagine the shock and grief the family must be feeling but I know from my own experience there is something to be gained from knowing the positive impact your Dad had on many you have not yet met.

I only knew him online here and he was a lovely and helpful chap. Sad news.

I use a Mamiya C3. I get photography and cardio and weights all in one walk. I LOVE my C3.

I have an FX2. Came to me in poor condition but I think I've rescued it. It has the Tessar lens. Reminds me a little of my Kine Exacta.

I use Squarespace. I had my own site using Zencart some years back but found Squarespace is simple and the support awesome. Costly? Yup but in my opinion it is worth it.
