That seems to have worked. Thank you

Recently whenever I visit the site on my work network (whether on WiFi on my phone, or in my work PC via a wired connection) I get the IP Address Banned message and I'm unable to access the site. If I turn off WiFi on my phone, or access my account from gone it works fine. Any ideas why that is?

Seems to have jumped up to £49.99 now. Gutted I missed out at that price.

Until recently I had a Rolleicord VA which is 6x6, and also a Bronica ETRSi which is obviously 6x4.5. I only really shoot portraits, and found that I barely used the Rollei as I just prefered the look of the 6x4.5 for my portrait work. In the end I sold the Rollei on as it was just collecting...

Going on current prices which do seem to be rising a little, that seems like a fair and decent price

I have used 500T and was really impressed with it. The colour tones worked really well for what I wanted to achieve, and overall it seemed like a nicec film to work with. The only downside is the limited number of labs that process ECN2. The one I used Silverpan, and while the results were...

No problem at all. Love that lighting on the first image. Has a lovely matt feel to it.

Just a little update on this: I sent the camera back to Mr Cad on Thursday afternoon, and received back again yesterday all fixed and working as it should. I have to say it was fantastic service from those guys turning it round so quickly. It turned out that the ASA dial assembly had come loose...

Nice bit of kit. Cracking images too.

Thanks for your input. I've done a couple more tests this morning including stopping the aperture down further and taking a shot down the length of a measuring tape. The point of focus on the lens does seem to be where it should, but it just simply isn't sharp. After doing some further reading...

Yes I did wonder this so shot with another M42 lens after as a test. That showed to be sharp as I would expect.

These were taken from around a meter away. Plus if you look closely at the images there isn't a single part of the image that is actually sharp.

I tried wide open at f2 to begin with and also tried stopping down slightly to f2.8 as from reading views on the Jupiter 9, that's when the sharpness usually improves somewhat on them

I don't seem to be having much luck with old film equipment this week. I purchased a Jupiter 9 lens off Ebay at the weekend. It was listed cheap as it had an 'Unknown mount'. I was fairly sure from the photos that it was going to be M42 with a K mount adapter on it and so I put in a cheaky...

Ahhh, makes sense. Thank you. I've spoken to the shop this morning and they are going to have it back in to look at and potentially repair as they have confirmed it sounds faulty. Thanks everyone for your input.
