There's only 1. Shouldn't there be 19?
Don’t you going starting conspiracies that it’s spread by crows now.

You'll have to buy a lens hood; I bought a used vintage one for mine off eBay, it's a simple push fit and seems to work OK once I'd repainted the inside with matt black. I can let you know the size in mm if you like, if no one happens to know and tell us in the meantime. Nice, sharp, detailed photos though, I bet you're pleased with it.A couple from my Ensign Selfix 820 Special on HP5+. Although it doesn't show on these two, it has taught me that this lens, though sharp for its day, is very prone to flare.

Thanks - I'll have to look for a hood. I was disappointed when I first got the negs/scans/proof prints back as they were very flat. However, a minute each in Lightroom brought them up a treat. Incidentally, looking again I wonder if some of the light patches could be from where I've forgotten to slide the cover over the frame counter.You'll have to buy a lens hood; I bought a used vintage one for mine off eBay, it's a simple push fit and seems to work OK once I'd repainted the inside with matt black.

Could well be that, especially prone to it with a faster film on a bright or sunny day. I got some nice orange flare patches on 800 Portra from not shading the window when winding on with one of my folding cameras!Incidentally, looking again I wonder if some of the light patches could be from where I've forgotten to slide the cover over the frame counter.
Perhaps this reminds me of the film Soylent Green, even though it might be a perfectly innocent incinerator.
I've just done a home scan of one of the negs on my newly-acquired Epson V550. I've never messed around much with Vuescan, so maybe that's why it gave me a 600Mb Tiff file, but it's at least the equal of the scan I got with the processing from AG on their Noritsu. Just took quite a while. I then printed it at A3 Plus on the Epson 100S. I must say I'm blown away with the quality, from a camera which is probably about the same age as me.You'll have to buy a lens hood; I bought a used vintage one for mine off eBay, it's a simple push fit and seems to work OK once I'd repainted the inside with matt black.

Found a hood on the ‘bay. Quite reasonably priced.You'll have to buy a lens hood; I bought a used vintage one for mine off eBay, it's a simple push fit and seems to work OK once I'd repainted the inside with matt black.

Glad you got fixed up, don't forget to take the usual anti-virus precautions when it arrives.Found a hood on the ‘bay. Quite reasonably priced.
I shall inject it with bleach.Glad you got fixed up, don't forget to take the usual anti-virus precautions when it arrives.
I really like those Peter.Three from my recently acquired box cameras. Not very interesting or inspiring thematically. Taken using Kodak Ektar 100, three years OOD.
Ensign 2 1/2 B. Surprisingly sharp in the middle for an almost 90 years old meniscus lens.

It's gonna be beautiful.I shall inject it with bleach.
Like the way the light is on the sweet spot of the lens.

A shot for newbies to show the good and bad for Vista (FUJI C200) and ISO 200.....the film is quite "tough" as well as the shot was taken last year and have just finished the film up last week, camera at room temp for that time.
Notice the grain in the sky...mind you am not sure if the image being left in the camera for over 6 months contributed to the grain.
Praktica BC1 with Praktica 28mm lens, filmdev low scan.
I used to get grain like that on freshly bought, Shot & developed Poundland Agfa, so I reckon it’s just the way the film looks.
I think I still have a single roll left in the freezer.
Shoot it as colour and turn it b&w maybe?Loads of Vista in my freezer but also have quite a lot of expired Kodak gold 100 and can't get on with it because of the colours as it is not what I expect from Kodak....I bought it from Greece years ago and reckon it could have been stored in the heat? Anyway still usuable for something not important.
