OK guys
I will be shooting less film for a while, I'll still be using my Paxette frequently but I'm not going to develop and scan my own any more due to several things.
I was starting to get a bit embroiled in the whole equipment race (once I had the Leica, I wanted more, different colours, etc) and it was distracting me from taking pictures.
I'm still a Rangefinder guy but I'll be going back to using my Epson R-D1 digital rangefinder and my Paxette film camera - this combo were my main cameras when I was having the most fun. It didn't feel like my equipment was starting to own me rather than the other way round!
Just wanted to thank everyone here for all the help - you guys taught me how to develop my film and have been a good set of chaps for critique, tips and fun.
I'll still be about and reading this forum mainly as film cameras will always be fascinating for me, but my main image threads will be posted elsewhere.. such as this one here: http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=340262
At least the R-D1 looks very 'film' like. I know it's not quite the same (though it feels nearly the same to use), but when I have a whole room to dedicate to photography I can go back to developing and scanning, maybe printing, my own negs. In the meantime I'm going to enjoy just taking pictures!
Cheers as always
