Check the forecast before you load it, as round here they've given Sunday as not being quite as sunny, and it would be a shame to use it if it's going to be a bit on the duller side.
One man's thoughts on the matter https://theonlinephotographer.typep...er/2012/10/how-to-shoot-ilford-xp2-super.htmlI took my Auto S3 out today to shoot a roll of XP2 at an Armed Forces day event. When I was unloading the camera I noticed that I'd forgotten to set the ISO to 400 and it was still on 100. [emoji2357]
Well it was very sunny yesterday maybe it'll be okay, cheers.One man's thoughts on the matter https://theonlinephotographer.typep...er/2012/10/how-to-shoot-ilford-xp2-super.html
o here's how to shoot XP2 Super, according to me. It's simple. This yields the highest percentage of results of the best quality—I don't care a whit for "make do" solutions that yield only acceptable results. Using camera metering:
• For regular shooting in most normal lighting, use EI (ISO) 200.
• For shooting in extremely bright and/or contrasty lighting, like harsh full sun and shadows, use EI (ISO) 100. This insures adequate shadow detail, and the highlights won't block up.
• For shooting in low and low-contrast lighting—and this includes indoor shooting and "available darkness"—use EI (ISO) 400—or even a little higher, although I personally don't recommend ever going all the way to (gasp) 800.
Usually you get a card through the door telling you to come down to the sorting office to pay theWell the F4 has arrived and first looks it is in exc condition.....no bill yet from royal fail or customs, does this come later? I would have thought you would have to pay before getting the item..h'mm very trusting as I could do a runner

Sounds like you got lucky, Brian.
It would appear you got away with the extra charges,well done.
Don't be elebrating too soon Bri with the money that you may have saved on taxes etc.
I've bought lots of gear from japan and the usa ( not just photographic gear) and had a mix of either having to pay the transporter prior to receiving the goods or receiving the parcel then beng billed at a later date, sometimes a week or too later but on one occasion it was nearly 6 months later ….I had actually though that I had got off with paying that one!
Man logic in action I use it all the timeAnyway it hasn't cost me anything as I was spending £30 per month on pipe tobacco, but gave up 5 months ago
Mind you they would've cost me a lot more 22 years ago. Some of them would've been brand new.I packed in smoking 22 years ago, so that's paid for my whole collection. Some of my cameras actually cos half of what a packet of cigarettes does now. [emoji848]
That is bloody brilliant Steve, love the ideaNot really a new toy by itself but, combined with a small modification and my Yashica 635, I’ve now got a selection of Instax Mini/Glass plate holders to use with it :0). The back/holders/ground glass are built for a Rolleiflex but the Yashica is an almost exact match for size and shape so it fits with only a small modification to push down the Yashica’s 35mm winding pin;

Just need to find an hour to build a simple Instax processing unit to use in a dark bag and I can shoot some Instant photos with the 635.

I thought about making it a crowdfunding thread, but I reckon it'll sell before that.
Timeshare camera?
Yes, undoubtedly. You'd take more care over each exposure knowing how much it was costing. And that's probably one of the best ways to become better.
£5250! Gulp.
That's more than twice as much as the most I've ever paid for a car!
and nearly half my Annual income!!
but if one has the monet available and it's something that will offer pleasure then go for it.
Me and my typos, they get worse!:banghead:I'm not sure I'd sell the painting for a camera
Got myself a Pentax ES and personalised it as an homage...
