Don't get me started! I'm a VW man through and through, and been involved with the whole scene for about 15 years now. There are a lot of VW shows over the course of a year, and a lot of them were very good weekends, with a huge amount of Beetles, Splitcreen and Bay Window buses with the odd...

Lol again. :D Very much so, thanks.

I pay £8.33 + VAT for process and scan with them (per roll of 120). They send me a contact sheet, the negatives and all the images on a USB pen drive that I always send them with the films. Saves putting each roll on a different CD as they would normally do. Can't remember how much postage is...

Haha! Right, more Ektar ordered. Got one in the Mamiya ready, 3 x Portra 400's for trying something different (not cars!) so that's me for winter I reckon. Will have to save up for processing again. I do have to say though, C41s have done all of mine to date (34 rolls to date) and they have...

For the main part, yes. Ultra-fine grain and I can have the sun in the frame and it won't kill the photo. I have a few rolls of Portra that a friend has donated and I've used a single B/W Ilford too, but i prefer colour as you can make it B/W as opposed to the other way round. On that note, I...

All sorted, big thanks to y'all and the admin. :) Now to change my profile etc... Feel free to call me Scott BTW, it being my name.

It's a consideration but I'm pretty attached to what I have as it's been my re-introduction into film and I love it for what it is. It didn't cost me much (bought off here through the classifieds) so it doesn't owe me a great and I'm a sucker for it. :D

True true. I'll get a message sent later and see how it goes. Cheers.

Thanks!

Oh, is there any way of changing my name on here BTW. 'donnyburger' is kinda a former life of mine I'm trying to leave behind.

Oh yeah it's a heavy piece of kit alright! RaglanSurf - tell me more regarding Miles please. I'm not overly familiar with people on here but might be worth repairing for a backup.

Well, the Yashica is dead. The timer mechanism has jammed, which is in turn locking out the shutter. I've had it apart a couple of times, had a look at it and come to the realisation that I neither have the knowledge or skill to fix it, and it'll cost a fortune to repair. So, it's gonna go back...

A few more for now. :) (Yes, it's mainly cars but it's what I do!)

Well it's been a couple of years since I posted in here, but I'm pleased to report I've continued to use the Yashica. Up until last month, it's performed utterly perfectly, but unfortunately the timer mechanism seems to have stuck and it's not letting me take any more photos. I've had it apart...

Cheers guys! It's such a simple joyous thing and I love it!
