I made up some new D23 developer last week. All formulars are for 1 litre and to calculate less is a pain and not worth the effort. 750ml is used, then 250ml of the old stock is added to make up to the litre, this is so that all the “goodies” that have built fromContinue reading “Ilford Perceptol from D23”

A Few from the Z10
A few posts back I wrote about the Pentax Z10. While I was out I shot an entire roll – here is a small selection of the remainder of the images that I liked, or rather, thought were just about worth sharing! All of the images are made on FP4 Plus and developed in FX55,Continue reading “A Few from the Z10”
Single Photo: The Powder House
While out and about with the Pentax Z10, and taking my usual wander around Poole, the tide was abnormally low. This meant that I could get out further than usual and look back at the path. Above is the Powder House, as seen from the sea side! Built here in the 1750’s so ships couldContinue reading “Single Photo: The Powder House”
Pentax Z10 (1991)
It seems very strange to me when I start a post like this and note the date (1991), these seem like recent cameras to me and yet it’s 34 years old! Where did the last 3rd of a century go? Anyway, today I write about the said Pentax Z10. It comes with a 28-80mm lens,Continue reading “Pentax Z10 (1991)”
Nearly contre-jour!
From the same canon as “slightly pregnant” or “fairly unique” I offer you “nearly contre-jour”! A couple of weeks ago I was in a church yard, it was a beautiful day the sun was pouring onto the south facing wall of the church – almost too much light! It wasn’t the peaceful idyl it couldContinue reading “Nearly contre-jour!”
Single Photo: A Tree
After a malfunction in the darkroom, something I’m quite annoyed with myself about, and that you’ll hear about in due course, I’m left with a solo photo post today! This comes from the roll of film that I put through the Chinon CE4 the other day, and is my favourite photo from the roll. It’sContinue reading “Single Photo: A Tree”
Chinon CE-4 (1980)
Another week another camera! This time the Chinon CE-4, advertised in 1979 but didn’t really hit the street’s until 1980. There are many similar cameras – when I was younger and tramping around Europe I had a Cosina CT1. That “family” of cameras were very similar. So too were the Ricoh KR’s. This officially hasContinue reading “Chinon CE-4 (1980)”
A Photowalk
Nothing new to see here! Sometimes I like to just load up a roll of film, take the camera with me, wherever I’m going, and make a few photo’s here and there of what I like and catches my eye. This time I took with me my Spotmatic – I have two, the SP andContinue reading “A Photowalk”
Canon Sureshot “EX” thing!
Time for another sureshot! This time the “EX” as it’s known in the UK or “Joy” in US, the Prima 4 in Europe and in Japan the Autoboy Lite 2! Whatever you call it, it’s a 35mm compact first made by Canon in October 1988. Frankly it’s a variation on a theme! It’s a fixedContinue reading “Canon Sureshot “EX” thing!”
Single Photo: Brownsea Island Ferry
I often take a photo walk, just to get out and get a bit of fresh air – especially if it’s a nice day. I often try and use a different camera as I have too many and need to keep them all ticking over. This time I had with me, my Spotmatic SP loadedContinue reading “Single Photo: Brownsea Island Ferry”
