Thanks Peter for suggesting that website though, I ended up with the 21mm F4 boxed with finder which is a brilliant buy for 240 quids

As titled, I am currently edging towards the voigtlander 21mm F4 but are there others in the same price range worth considering? Cameras I want to use it with are Film Leica M6 Digital Fuji Xe-1 via adapter. Now Ken Rockwell says that the voigtlander is not compatible with the Leica M9 due...

Hi I've recently purchased an Xe-1 and I am using it with manual leica lenses. How do I reassign the zoom function to a different button? Having to press in the knob is annoying each time.

I am confused stephen. how would the leader tell you if the developer is good? It is bit that is exposed you mean yeah? I use the leader to tell if the fixer is good as it will go clear in the fixer The developing it before will make it go black? Is that what you mean? I guess that would...

Result! New rodinal bottle gives perfect results at normal speed. Old roddy needs throwing away every 6 months or I should just avoid buying the 500ml bottle as it simply doesn't last that long!

OK I've shot another roll at 400 iso and im gonna develop using brand new r09 one shot brb

Ok that is very interesting news if Rodinal goes off like that!! What other single shot long lifetime developer do you reccomend to prevent this issue with multiple version of rodinal ??

It is the R09 single shot 500ml bottle so its developed 35 files at 1:25 conc I got great results with the ilford pan 400 just a month ago with the same developer...so this is really pointing to a film fault...??

Hi, I am having issues with the above combination and I am unable to trouble shoot whats going wrong. Camera is a Leica M6 with fresh batteries. The first roll was exposed for 400 iso and developed 1+25 for 5.5 minutes with rodinal. The negatives were poor, either a case of underexposed or...

Thanks for the suggestion...but I'm not really seeing a definite recomendation for something. Is that because by and large they are all good?

I am thinking of a ghetto darkroom setup in the garage for printing some of the rolls I have shot over the past almost 8 years now. Clearly I need a good 35mm enlarger but I dont really know where to begin or what to research. I want something which is reliable and easy to repair (bulbs etc) if...

Unfortunately, capture one doesn't support windows xp :( Infact I'm worried that the win xp version of capture pro might not support the D810....this is turning into a mess now

That is the wireless one isn't it. Would be ideal to use outdoors but I'm looking to use this camera for science...not photography.

Any other free options which are worth a punt?
