[dan m]

As someone mentioned on flickr, looks a little like a sticky curtain. Cool photo nevertheless.

Like the beach hut a lot, John.

Summer & Winter over the Woodborough area Nottinghamshire.

Cliff, Dan, thanks...I've discovered a very small screw rattling around inside the body, so I need to get it fettled. Anyone know of a reputable camera repair outfit that works on old vintage cameras?

 

[Anex]

 

[RichardH]

I like that - slight overtones of "Don't Look Now" - but hopefully without the tragedy!

 

[Anex]

Cheers. Mostly uneventful, but he did fall up down the front steps when we got back to the house.

Don't know where you're based Paul but Axco instruments just down from Finchley Central is reputed to be good. They were recommended to me for Bronica repairs.

I wonder if it's the iris that's not stopping down correctly. Is there a mechanism that connects the iris in the lens to the body that's gone wrong? A lever in the lens mount or something?

1/25th, 100mm (on 70-200 zoom VR2), F2.8, ISO3200
Nikon d3s
(more snow pictures to come)

 

[Cesare]

Cliff,

That VR stuff really works!

Cliff,

Indeed. Could maybe have done the same shot in the same light with an F2 manual 100mm lens and ISO 12800.

 

[Tigerjones]

I like your second one, Phil eos. Some snowy goodness from Anex.

@ Pete, I'm up north on the doorstep of the lakes and thanks for that link.
@ Patrick, I've removed the film back, the focusing hood and the bayonet lens, the only thing I cannot shift is the helicoid lens mount, which seems to be jammed and the release button is doing nothing. The loose screw is like something you'd see in a wrist watch, and was lying on some black cloth at the base of the camera! There is no way of me fixing it, it needs precision tools and skills that go with them to sort it out now. Time to make some phone calls...

 

[Milan]

A couple from last weeks holiday. A little different to the current UK weather.

 

[cliffpatte]

nice pictures Milan. The bay in that top one is a bit like this one in Northumberland, which looked like this last month:

even the sand was frozen

Matt, pondering the benefits of the Nikon D3S over his D80 ;-)

 

[Milan]

Thanks Cliff,

Arount the time I took that picture the temperature got to 44C according to the gauge in my car!

 

[Mr Cat]

a drive down teesdale...

A stump up Cley Hill with StevieD and Bok - first outing with the Yashicamat (and an even-older Sixtomat lightmeter). Lovely tactile things to use and no batteries required!
