It's either under exposing or could be the Exposure compensation dial has been moved and needs to be re-adjusted.

I might be getting some inheritance money towards the end of the year, was thinking a Leica M of some description with a 28mm Summicron. That Q3 does look a good bit of kit. I'll be getting something 2nd Hand. I used to sell Leica & Hassleblad, I did have a 500CM but sold that on here, time...

Canon manual cameras had some great lenses that can be bought so cheap these days!

They were nice cameras back in the day. The K 1000 too.

Why not just re-release a Super A or ME Super!

If you can afford it go for VR as it is better for slower shutter speeds and less likely to show any camera shake - especially at the 85 end.

I shot the Northern lights in Iceland a number of years ago. I used various slow shutter speeds on a small tripod with a 28-70 on the wide angle side on manual focus near infinity. It's quite mesmerising when you see them and at the end of the day it's just as important watching it as capturing...

Olympus XA or a Rollei 35B

In the Olympus app I use it give me an option to select individual images

Some have bluetooth with an app to connect to a phone.

I do hope those rolls that haven't been through the soup yet stand the test of time! Could add a bit of worn character to them if they're not 100% though!

Production costs + Transport costs, both increased significantly. So glad I'm digital these days!
