Ya see isn't it strange, the minute you start to use a decent medium for capturing your imagination you start to get some truly class images ;)

Keep going old chap. Fine effort !

Cheers Shaun! MF has really got me properly enjoying photography for the first time since I started doing it for work I think... Got a lot better at processing my films for minimising dust and finding film/chem combos and timings I like the effect of etc ... Loads of fun!
Ive just borrowed an MPP micro technical with a schneider 150mm 5.6
Medium format slowed me down quite a bit so we shall see what large format does!

Hamish I gave up on large format around 1998 as I have a definite aversion to sticking my head under a cloth in a public place (I tend to keep that for the bedroom) :eyebrows:

By the way, I used to use a Schneider 150mm Apo-Symmar and it was the finest lens I have ever used throughout my life. I used Ilford FP4+ and developed it using Paterson Aculux II.

I wonder if analogue film will start to appeal again the way vinyl has. b/w is easy to process at home but the thought of producing straight b/w though doesn't really appeal to me - last year I started making some albumen prints and cyanotypes which you can print on to virtually any surface. a bit of a faff but all good fun.

I'm not sure it will start to appeal again... I think it already is, and has been for a while!
I was chatting to a chap from ilford at focus who was telling me that last year they sold more roll film than any year previous ... Even comparing to years before digital came along!
Folk like Mike Walker with his Titan 5x4 pinhole and later this year 10x8 pinhole combined with patersons MOD 54 are making even large format photography incredibly accessible.
All that combined with the fact that with a digital scanner, half decent computer and some photo editing software you can shoot film and process digitally with superb results makes it very appealing to a lot of people!

yes, I can remember when the death knell was sounding for Ilford, about the time digital was really coming into its own in the late 90's. I think BW was always likely to survive as an independent force. I was never so optimistic about polaroid though, I always thought it would disappear and still do eventually. I always found it such a self regarding medium. Of course all this is fairly irrelevant for the pro sector which is now fully wed to digital and never likely to file for divorce for financial reasons :)

Sat and watched a slide show of old steam shows from 1966 on Friday night, the slides where still in very good condition and had very strong colours and pin sharp , he used Kodachrome film and swore by it especially as he strayed to another manufacturer a couple of times whos name escapes me but needless to say they all went brown and had to be binned

That'll probably be Agfa Gevaert then :)

those old kodachromes were wonderfully vivid, my dad had a load of old stuff on trannie, they make great slide shows.

perhaps the 'browning' was due to poor processing. when i used to work in a lab years back my boss took his eye of the ball on the E6 and subsequently the fixer wasn't 'repped' properly - one client turned up months later with a load of transparencies with a horrid green colour cast.
