That AF-with-everything-and-tiny-and-detachable-lenses camera is very handy though, and I do find myself reaching for the EOS-30 only to discover it's got the wrong film in it... Maybe I should by another :)

And that (is what I tell myself) is why I have two EOS 30s... and a 30v. :giggle: Actually I have two EOS 30s as it would have been daft not to have snapped up a mint one for £32 when I spotted it on eBay a couple of years ago! That's the other good thing about them, they're affordable (or at least they were when I stocked up on them!).
 
Thanks @simon ess for setting up a thread for the Smallwood Vintage Rally. Negotiations almost complete with 'The Boss' just need some more gin.

That second one works really well. I failed to get much steam... At a steam rally....

I've been to a few of these events and have found that it's good to wait until you see the engines belching out smoke for atmospheric (literally) photos. They usually start to put on steam when you are half a mile from them on the other side of the park. :D

There can sometimes be steam in the wrong place!

The owner leaps into action after a water gauge glass breaks causing a cloud of steam; taken at the Cheshire Steam Fair, Grappenhall, 1984. Canon A1, 50mm 1.8 on Kodak Ektachrome slide film.
 
A few final shots from Astle (before I start cluttering up the Smallwood thread instead :D). Those interesting and photogenic skies are a sight to behold, aren't they? :LOL:

All HP5+ and a mixture of F80 and Zeiss Mess-Ikonta 524/16 pictures.
