According to common law, a high visibility jacket must be worn at all times during development and if in an area larger than 13m² you must be coned off from others in the vicinity.

7dayshop doesn't charge for shipping at all so there's your best bet, or you could go into a local shop and pay (through the teeth, usually) for the convenience! I was also going to recommend Portra, but seeing as everyone else has then I'll throw a suggestion for Fuji 400H into the mix, haha.

I did get it sorted in the end, I took it to Clock Tower Cameras in Brighton who replaced the screws and recalibrated the grip tension (or so they said, anyway) for £2! But that's certainly good to know, and hopefully if anyone has the same problem and does a google they'll find this thread :D

Great idea for a thread. It's always interesting to see the results! I have one; a Canon 500D vs Pentax 6x7 MLU - I actually used the 500D as a light meter for the Pentax which is why I have the two similar shots! Apologies for the less than scientific framing, heh. 500D + 50mm 1.8 (f/4...

Well if you see someone traipsing around Kenilworth in the next few months with a camera bigger than their head, come say hello cos it'll be me with that thing haha.

As requested! An old, 'slightly' worn 6x7 MLU, with a metered prism that occasionally meters upside down, but more often than not doesn't work at all... Need to get it looked at. I must admit I don't usually sport the handle, I prefer a strap instead, but it definitely looks nicer with the...

My friend Hayley is a fashion photographer and shoots mostly 6x7 & instant film (RZ67) :) http://www.hayleylouisabrown.co.uk/ I'd second (third?) the idea for a 645 camera, it'll give you those extra few shots for bracketing etc as well as letting you go longer without changing backs/rolls over...

I have a 6x7 MLU :) I love it. I only have the 90mm 2.8 and will eventually get a 55, but for the moment I'm happy with just the one lens. I only tend to use lenses with a similar field of view as the 90 on my other cameras anyway so why not better the devil you know!

A lot of people actually shoot their negative film at those kind of levels of 'overexposure' for various reasons :) the films will be absolutely fine and you'll not lose any noticeable amounts of highlight detail!

That should be no problem at all steveo! HP5 has a huge latitude. I've exposed it at 100 before after forgetting to set my meter to 400 and didn't bother pulling the film when processing. It was a slight stretch but I not only got decent prints out of the negatives but decent scans too :) A 1...

^Have done, and is pretty much bang on well within the ranges that my film cameras that I use it with can handle :) definitely a good tip though.

You can either scan them if you have a negative scanner, or, you can set up a... thing... to take photos of the negatives using your 7D like so: http://photo.tutsplus.com/tutorials/shooting/scanning-negatives-with-your-digital-camera/ And yes they do :) just ask for develop only.

@Chris: 7 day shop :) I just ordered a box of 5 x 120 Portra 160 and it got to Kenilworth in 3 days with the free postage! And it worked out about £3 a roll. Paul, as has been mentioned with metering: Err on the side of caution (slight underexposure) with slide film when the Canon says a 1/3...

About 20 minutes north you have Stratford Upon Avon, a little further up & you have Kenilworth Castle, Warwick Castle.

^In that case, 'upgrade' your MX to a 6x7 ;)
