Something for every occasion :) I don't like to accumulate too many things as then I struggle to decide. I do enjoy selling stuff that I don't use to then buy something else. Even if that then turns into a shelf ornament to later be sold...and so the cycle continues!

I haven't done much lens research but had seen that one come up a lot, maybe due to its size. I'm not fussed on the 20mm, so will look into the options. Will also look at the GX80 a bit more too, maybe a cheaper option for my variety needs! It is absolutely GAS. Probably a bad habit but I like...

Thanks for your replies. The vertical viewfinder is an interesting one, particularly with the tilting screen too. Would need to hold it to see if I'd use it or not. I started looking at the GX80 first and when trying to decipher the naming scheme found the GX9. There's only about £100...

I'm debating getting a GX9...I like the rangefinder shape, and it seems a good model from what I can tell. Why am I getting it? Well, mostly as I'm bored of my Fuji system - I've used it a lot and it makes great pictures, and even writing this I'm still partially wondering why I'm doing it...

I did just that. Bought a Plustek (from tp forum no less!) and scanned them in. Took a while but got into a good routine to do it. I then sold it on at the same price I paid. Now I wish I'd kept the plustek as they seem to have gone up in price and I'd like to scan some new film I've taken.

Somehow got into my head that I want to swap my X-T2 and lenses for a Leica CL and lenses :hungover:

They're okay. At times they've been slow but have emailed to explain. They're also more expensive than filmdev.co.uk and I don't see any benefit to go with Analogue Wonderland. I had a 20% off voucher and it was still more expensive. The negative holders they use are inferior to filmdevs and AW...

Thanks for all the suggestions. Plenty for me to go on and do some searching.

I've been looking at tripods too. I do like that idea as at least the tripod has other uses and maybe having more than one might be useful one day.

After doing my first home development and using an angle-poise lamp arm to mount the camera I think I need something more sturdy/suitable. Been looking at copy stands and they either seem to be cheap and nasty or good but pricey. A lot of people have recommended getting a used enlarger, I've...

Film scanning details from them: Standard 3637 x 2433 pixels 1-2 MB JPEG Premium 5444 x 3648 pixels 4-5 MB JPEG Premium TIFF 5444 x 3648 pixels 50-60 MB TIFF Standard is very similar to filmdev's medium resolution.

They’re doing an opening promo of 20% off with code: Save20Lab Interestingly colour prices are the same as B&W. They’ve also added 110.

A random internet friend sent me this:

I hadn't noticed that! 10% saving on development, which is nice. I emailed them and they said they'll update the scan resolution information on the website.

I’ve sent them an email asking if they could clarify the resolution of scans and post example files. They’ve always been good with feedback just depends if they ever get round to it.
