We'll, slight change of plan. Just bought a Mamiya ZD with less than 3k actuations. It will take my existing MF lenses and bought a 150 AF to try. Interesting times ahead. A

MF tends to slow you down and consider more before snapping IME. Though whether a didital body will to the same extent I'm not sure, hence my question. Thanks

Between £1k and £1.5k depending on condition from what I've seen... A

I do still have an EOS 1NRS 35mm film - might try that to see - thanks...

I struggled to find a electric or hybrid that would tow 3.5 Tonnes. I don't see any reason why they can't build an Electric car which would tow significant weight but I haven't seen it yet.... A

Hi All I don't use my EOS kit as much as I should and I'm looking to re-kindle my interest in Photography. I have some film based medium format and always got more buzz out of that than 35mm film. In my mind - the EOS kit I have is just sitting there and not being used so of little value -...

I'm interested in how many shots you took to get this one? Did you try a range of exposures etc or not. This is a nice result and I'm always learning so wondered what you had tried here. Thanks A

Clearly I have a lot to learn... Glad you found some combinations which work consistently - I must keep practicing. A
