Hey guys!

Now I've subtley announced my unanticipated and irrelevant return I have a quick question :)

Ill be sticking to 35mm solely now, rather than the MF I adored shooting! It's a cost per shot thing (baby on the way,yayy gonna be a daddy!)

Bought a nikon f80,need a lens,and need some film.

So, is poundland still selling Agfa vista do you know?
 
Welome back Danny and congratulations on your impending dadhood.

Poundland do still stock Vista but I think it's coming hard to find, let me know if you can't find any and I'll check my local stores.
 
Welcome back Danny, congrats on impending fatherhood... is it your first?

Film, as said above, it can be a bit tricky finding poundlands that still do it... the nearest one to me is hit and miss at best... only recently found out that my dad picks up a few rolls every couple of week and slings them in his freezer for when I next visit, bless 'im.
 
Welcome back Danny, Baby on film good start. :)
 
Must admit with the kids I tend to be time poor more than anything, so I find it easier to find the time to shoot 10 frames through the rb67 than finish a roll of 35mm... Well that's my excuse for hanging on to the brick.
 
Welcome back Danny......We"ll get to see some "yung un" shots in the not too distant future then.

At least with a 1/4000 max shutter, you'll have a chance of capturing him/her :D.
 
Congrats and look forward to see some results from your nikon.

Welcome back, and congratulations on the news. Always a great contributer to the forum.
 
My local Poundland in Sutton had re-stocked with Vista last weekend when I went in. Only the 24 shot rolls though sadly. Am guessing that the 36's may have become too expensive for them to get?
 
It seems the 36 rolls are long gone as I've only ever seen 24's for the last 4 - 5 months when I've got it.
 
Must be the result of inflation - they can't put the price up without changing the store branding so they have to cut the size of the film instead. ;)

Welcome back, Danny, and congratulations on the baby :thumbs:

We'll see, lol, I've not taken a single proper photograph in over a year, I don't anticipate amazing results for my first few films :bonk:

I'd much prefer my RZ back don't get me wrong, I loved that camera! The negatives were a dream! I just feel that I can capture more variety of shot with the slr, I can stick it on cont focus and 1/4000 if I feel lazy or want to capture candids, no chance of that with the MF gear. Next year I WILL be buying another MF or LF system, probably LF to be honest. I love LF portraiture with a passion, it's a genre in it's own right in my opinion! :thumbs:

Hey Asha long time no speak! Hope you're well! That's my reasoning exactly, should be plenty quick enough to capture whatever I want!

Thanks :thumbs:

I grabbed 20x Agfa rolls, 1 of which was 36, the rest were 24. It's still ridiculously cheap though :) Now....to find some bargain b&w film!!

Anyone shooting Agfa apx 100?
 
Hey Danny, lenses...start with the 50mm 1.8 D...
 
Welcome back Danny, shame you won't be resurrecting the 6x7 but we'll let you off ;) Good to see an hand back in the fold again, and congrats on your impending fatherhood :) :thumbs:
