Digging around in drawers the other day I have found a Zeiss Ikon camera. I have seen that there are many different versions. Is there a way of working out which model the camera is? Cheers Liam

Taken yesterday in our local woodland in Great Garwood Lancashire. Looked around for a while to fine something other than straight up vertical trees. Thought it contrasted well with the straight lines of the other trees. Although i should have moved slightly to get the tree creeping in from the...

Having a little problem. Got the film, put it in the camera. Put the batteries in and nothing is happening. Supposed to have a light on to show it's ready, and nothing! Can't play around with it either as i've put film into it now. Shutter button a little sticky as well.

I've just bought an NX-10 in a charity shop for £25. Doesn't look like it's ever been used. Looking forward to having a play with it

Thank you so much for your help! I will definitely post some shots once they are processed.

Hi All, While trawling charity shops at the weekend, i picked up a REGULA DISC MX camera. Main reason i picked it up, was i'd never seen one before and it was still in it's original box. Can you still get disc film anywhere? Would love to try it out. Thanks in advance. Liam

Hi All, I've been trying to cull some of the thousands of pictures I've taken of cars, bikes etc over the years and decided to look through what was left and pick out a favourite. The one below has got to be what I consider the best motorsport shot I've ever taken. Sat in the grandstand at...

Sorry Russy, haven't been on here for a while. Absolutely loved it at Assen. It was great for taking photographs, and much much better than Silverstone for photography. Silverstone has now become crazily safety conscious with barriers/fencing etc. I will try to get some shots posted later.

Afternoon All, I'm off to Assen next week for the Moto GP weekend, for my 40th birthday present. I'm wondering if any of you have shot at Assen, and if you guys have any tips? Any help would be appreciated, as I've never been before. Probably taking 18-70, 70-300 and tame on 150-600 lenses...

Thanks all! I have checked it on a friends sony digital camera and it works fine. Will be putting it on ebay me thinks. Thanks for all your help. Liam

Just purchased a 2nd hand Dynax 7000i with 35-70 lens, and purchased a 70-210 sigma apo lens to go with it. Both from a shop that was closing down. The camera and small lens are fine, but when i fit the large zoom onto the body the camera won't even turn on. Any ideas? The lens doesn't even...

Thanks all. Will check them out. Cheers Liam

Afternoon All, Just wondered if you guys knew of anywhere I can fin information on waterfall locations in the above counties? Is there a website I can visit, or maybe more than one? Thanks in advance. Kind regards Liam

Sorry peeps. It's a camera club in Blackburn. The problem is that there are only a few people who get involved, and interact in discussing speakers etc. Thanks for all your input. Liam

Looking for ideas on which speakers to book for next years camera club lectures. We are in Blackburn, Lancashire and would be looking for recommendations for speakers in the north west area. Any good stories of well presented lectures/club nights would be appreciated. Thanks in advance...
