with a disposable camera.

And after all the money I spent on that other kit .......

Well now that you've found where your talent lies, it's clear to see that holding onto your other kit is futile.

We're all here willing to adopt!

Or maybe just try harder with the other kit?

Well done, Peter. Got (one of) my vote(s) too.

And thanks (from the LOM on the prowl) to the 2 who voted for her.

Do ya mean you took other kit and the disposable camera gave the best results for that scene

Brian, on that particular evening the F80 loaded with Sensia was on the tripod waiting for the sunset, and the disposable was in my pocket as I wandered round the beach. Once I cropped out my hand that I was using to shade the lens, I was pleased with how it came out. Here's the shot immediately before the kayak one.

Well done Peter, welcome to the very exclusive numpty/idiot club.

Thanks Nick, I'll be joining a small and select band of talented individuals then.

The sad fact is that a cheap "real" film camera loaded with a 36 exposure film is probably as cheap as a disposable (and far easier to reload!!!)

Maybe a cheap-camera challenge could be the next project.

I think the Travelling Superzoom challenge pretty much epitomises the "level playing field" for everyone Nige, and that was cheap enough!

A Canon T70 challenge? That would test our commitment, having to buy and be seen outdoors with that lump of a thing!!

We did a Former Soviet Union challenge a year or two ago with film cameras from the FSU, those were lumps!

A silk purse/pigs ear challenge?

The most beautiful image from the ugliest camera!

We haven't had a pinhole camera challenge, or a home made camera challenge but if we did the latter @stevelmx5 is barred

Can we have an ugliest photographer challenge?

I might stand a chance with that one.

 

[Peter B]

What about a Tamron Adaptall lens challenge? I've got a couple of lenses and have managed to accumulate a few different mounts, plus I'm sure there must be others lurking in drawers somewhere amongst the collective? I could send it out like the Travelling Superzoom and others can take their own photos with the one lens. It would mean that you wouldn't have to finish the film in any hurry, but just use the lens and move it on?

There would be stiff competition I think

I've just had a quick look on eBay and am pretty amazed at the prices being asked for some Adaptall lenses (£220 for a 17mm? ) I do, however, have a cheapie zoom that wouldn't need to be insured if anyone was interested.

Now no one could accuse me high standards but I would draw the line at a T 70. Count me out

Actually, me too.

I've got a sad story indirectly related to a T70 but to prevent 60 posts will keep it to myself

I quite like this idea!

Looks like Brian would win first and last place as well as all in between seeing as there's likely any other contenders!

Damn I missed this one, however I'm going to add some pictures anyway for the sharing

All taken with an Ilford XP2 in Newquay:

1. Fistral Beach rocks

2. Light on the dunes

3. Wrap up with a view

4. Windsurfing

Enjoy

I've just been for a walk with the 2 lenses I was thinking about, but didn't want to waste any film on them. Anyways, the result is that the "better" of the 2 has some haze inside it that affects the end result, and I can't get the retaining ring to budge to strip it down and clean it. I think this will need to be put on the back burner meantime , so apologies to both of you.
