Sorry not stacking or Nikon but we seem to post flowers here. We had a walk in The Arboretum at Romsey yesterday and I took my 1960 Rollieflex 3.5F with Zeiss Planar lens loaded with Ilford HP5 film for fun. It still works as well as the day I purchased it 60 yrs ago but with this flowering tree, I had to use my mobile phone to record its dramatic colour. My old camera friend has a built in selieum cell exposure meter that still works quite well enough for black and white film. I must say we are spoilt with the ease of use with fodays DSLRs.

This is what my old friend looks like for those who are not yet 80 yrs old! It was my first professional camera and at the time cost £150 but would now as a collectors working camera fetch well over £1000! Click here to comment on this image.

Our local Titchfield Abbey taken with the Rolleiflex recently with 120 Ilford HP5 400 ISO film. Pperhaps not the best of scans but we were happy making a living with cameras like that a few years ago! Click here to comment on this image.

Plenty of detail there Graham. What scanner did you scan the film on?

http://www.ilfordlab.com process films to neg stage for me and do high res scan on cd. (Cost about £17 for the 12 exposures. No choice now as I shut down my last darkroom about 1995) My stock of 120 HP5 is bit old now with Sep 2016 but seems to work OK. One forgets the grain!!!!! It's good to get my old friend working from time to time. Perhaps I should get a few rolls of FP 100 ISO film?

Ilford FP4 developed in Paterson Acutol was always a favourite of mine as was Kodak Tri-X in HC110 or ID11. I could never decide which I preferred PanF or FP4 but the extra speed of FP4 seemed to win when you look through my files of negs as there is plenty of Tri-X and FP4. 35mm and 120 slides were always Ektachrome 100 (or 400 occasionally) until I moved to Agfa Agfachrome RS. I couldnt find my 5x4 negs and slides when I last looked, when I was in Spain.

The link goes to Harman Lab - I guess they took over from Ilfords? I used to work for Ilford in Basildon in the 1960s!

Yes Chris they do a good job and I have just posted my latest film to them. You should see the price of FP4 HP5 120 films now makes you think! Fun to get the old camera out but modern DSLRs are easy and quick to use with a great range of modern lenses producing top quality results and no waiting for the photos to come back from the lab.

Last weeks scans sent back to download sorry not very interesting just front of our house but all shots spot on for exposure with the old camera's built-in meter. Click here to comment on this image.

When you look at those pics and the grain in them and then we have the nerve to complain if we get noise on a pic taken at 6400 iso.
