It’s been a while since I used any film in my Zeiss Ikon 517/16. I loaded up a roll of Kodak Ektar and set off on a glorious sunny day, for a walk around the local town of Wimborne Minster. No purpose other than to have a walk and make 12 images! I did discoverContinue reading “Ektar in the Zeiss Ikon”

How clean is your OM?
The last time I used my Olympus OM I noticed that I had a small light leak. When I looked at the light seals more closely I’m surprised that I didn’t have a massive one! They were gone. I thought I’d have a go at replacing them so ordered up a kit. I have soContinue reading “How clean is your OM?”
Kodak 2D: The Front Standard
In many ways this was the bit I was most looking forward to tackling. I’ve gained a little experience in all aspects of this, as I’ve gone along, that gave me a bit more confidence to move forward. It’s the “forward facing” bit, the area that most people are going to see – and whilstContinue reading “Kodak 2D: The Front Standard”
Going up!
I have it on good authority that, at least here in the UK, the cost price of Ilford film is going to increase between 4% and 6% on December 1st.

Blue Sky!
A nice bright sunny morning combined with a day off has been a rarity in recent times. I had to make the most of it so jumped in the car and drove the short distance to Kingston Lacy, our local National Trust property. February is always busy as it’s “Snowdrop Time”. This year I missedContinue reading “Blue Sky!”

Dorchester Heritage Day:2
The Keep is perhaps the most distinctive building in Dorchester. It is a military museum. I’m not much into military things, but I’ve always been intrigued to see what was inside the building. The heritage day, is a good excuse to have a look as it’s free entry for the day! I took the NikonContinue reading “Dorchester Heritage Day:2”
