Hi everyone sorry i have been very busy at work and catching up with family ,and have just seen the post requesting an up date on the matter see title .

i got my tripod that cost just £8. ish it is about tall enough to set up and sit behind ,sadly when i put it together i dropped a nut so i went to dissassemble the camera mount section and broke it Frown so out came the super glue . got it repaird , if it lasts me the year thats fine , i will upgrade to a better one then ,this is just a trial tripod to see how i get on with it.

The Lens came too it is built in Japan and sold from China classed as a super Lens 240mm to 800mm Telephoto lens .

manual opperation NOT AUTO  it is on a slide body then twist to focus , i have to date tried it twice due to a lot of work commitment ,i have not had the time to play more with it . BUT the pics i took seem excellent . 

i am not working next Monday through to Wednesday so i hope to have another go .

all this talk of actual film takes me back to my young college days :) hours and hours in the dark room and the smell of the chemicals :) somewhere in the loft I still have a full darkroom kit including a convector enlarger :D and as for Kodachrome I still have one that I found the other day while sorting out that I forgot to post off for developing, I wonder if the free developing is still being done? Tongue Out

Interesting post, yes you never forget the smell of developer, stop bath, and fixer.

Appartenly the last roll of Kadachrome to be processed was in 2013 and the chemicals needed were stopped being made by Kodak the year before. There is some talk on the internet that it can be processed in B&W chemicals but gives a B&W result
