You could hammer nails in with an FM2 and it would still work. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17318#post-240275 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 16:31:44 +0000 panyagua 240275@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@baldcyclist</p> <p>Yes, there was something magical about watching those black and white images emerge. I'm sure if I smelt the cocktail of developer and fixer again, it would evoke fond memories. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17318#post-240272 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 16:21:26 +0000 panyagua 240272@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks edd1e_h - reply sent. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17318#post-240270 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 16:03:24 +0000 Baldcyclist 240270@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ahh, I used to love my Pentax MX, and Nikon FM2. Something really theraputic in watching images appear in front of you in a darkroom. :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17318#post-240269 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 15:53:10 +0000 steveo 240269@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've got a collection of 80's-90's SLR gear but I always like playing with older kit. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17318#post-240267 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 15:43:57 +0000 neddie 240267@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@panyagua - PM sent </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17318#post-240265 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 15:22:43 +0000 panyagua 240265@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Some years ago I inherited my father's cameras and lenses, but they remained in my mother's house until she passed away last year. I now want to offload a selection (keeping only the 1942 Ensign British-made roll film camera, which was my dad's 21st birthday present).</p> <p>Would anyone have any use for old 35mm cameras and lenses, ranging from a 1960s Voigtländer Vito CLR rangefinder (not currently working) to 1980s Pentax SLRs and a variety of prime and zoom lenses?</p> <p>Or would anyone know someone/somewhere who would take them.</p> <p>I'm not looking for any payment, just trying to avoid them going to landfill. </p>
