I don't have an qualms with any police officers, and I know some are very good at their job. Many even qualify as police men and women, rather than as "officers". However, my point about my experience at the G20 protest several years ago, was that it was down to amateur photographers...

Someone here pointed me in the direction of Shanghai GP3 a few months ago. I did buy a pack of ten, but only recently had the time and light to try out a test roll in the Bronica. I bought mine on Ebay for £21 including p&p (£2.10 per film). Anyway - here are a few of the exposures after...

Excellent stuff. It gets easier. I developed my first film, less than two years ago, and I've long lost count of how many I've developed since, but certainly in three figures. By the way, I use a Poundland stopwatch - not at all water proof, but I can hang it around my neck, and easily keep...

It might help to see some examples of what someone else has done with a 50mm prime, might give you some ideas. My prime is an old manual focus Pentax 50mm M series prime, from a chemical camera, fitted onto my dslr. It's my main lens, I use it I guess 90% of the time. If you look through my...

I don't have a bag. Pentax K110D most commonly fitted with an old manual focus 50mm prime (Pentax M-series F1.7) Total cost = £75 Ok, sometimes I fit it with a 28mm mf prime, or a Sigma 28mm-105mm, or a Tamron 70mm-300mm. But I always go back to the 50mm mf.

Thanks for the warm welcome, I'm sure that I have lots to learn on TP.

I can't judge if my photography is any 'good'. It could certainly be better. But I'm using a second hand camera that cost me £50, and most of the time an old manual focus 50mm prime that cost £25. All of my software is free and open source. I often see people using vastly more expensive gear...

Hi Fora Oi live in swampland (the Fens). I use a second hand Pentax K110D, a few lenses, but overwhwelmingly, an old manual focus 50mm. Together the camera and this lens cost £75 - with a stock lens thrown in. I take my poor suffering Pentax with me all over the place, abusing it always...
