Although a little late – Happy New Year.
I have just spent a month in wind swept UK: cold wet and windy so nothing new .
The weather is definitely returning to what I remember in the 50’s and 60’s; where is ‘global warming’ – ho sorry climate change… when you want it?
Maybe it is the little ice age that was predicted by the experts during the 1970’s !
I now have the MF 23 for my Nikon F4 and although it was in ‘used condition’ Grays of Westminster has sent me another Nikon item in mint condition, that can only be described as ‘new’ because one is hard pressed to tell it is not.
I have also decided to keep the D200 that I have been testing (playing with) for a number of weeks now. I must admit that it is a nice camera to use – once I found my way around the menu settings. One caveat, there is always one! ‘Blown Highlights’ I MUST watch the histogram.
Set-up as near as I can get to my F4, even down to using the Tokina AT-x 35–70 F2.8 manual zoom lens.
No more chasing around for colour chemicals (well maybe E6, although not much chance here in Oman…….! ) pity I cannot afford (justify) one of those digital to analogue (paper) enlargers that got a mention a couple of years ago. DE VERE 504DS.
