Don't worry we wouldn't be looking at you much !!! :-)

Another stunner Manzur - have you ever considered having one of your portrait photoshoots filmed? I'm sure we'd all love to see you in action!

Sorry it's probably a UK not-so-funny joke, but if a lass is "nicely upholstered" she has all the right padding in the right places....

I've changed my mind - I think she's advertising the Really-Nice-Upholstery Company :-)

Lovely portrait - thanks for posting. I'll put some more up but maybe not for several weeks as I am moving house now our lockdown has been eased.

Who cares - she's only advertising spring water isn't she ?

Wow - in every sense of the word!!!!!!

Yes I was tempted by the third party makers' offerings - especially the Sigma 85mm ART that is until I saw the colossal size of it. Unfortunately I have had a chequered history with independant ...

So here's me outside a few brandies and bored with the lockdown. Closed my eyes and pushed the Buy button for the 105mm F1.4 G, then spent the next day or two, having sobered up, worrying about ...

Thanks for the concise and clear explanation. Phil

I was really just messing about with silent photography - shooting from waist level with Live View of course however I was suprised how bad some of the results were with a 105mm lens. This is the ...

If that's unfixed film on the elbow you'll see it as a milky opaque area on the neg. I've had no experience of the film and processing solutions you mention (don't you hate replies that start like ...

Really lovely (the background too...) Phil.

Thanks again Louie, I feel we'd have a lot in common to chit chat about over a coffee, should you be in, or come to, UK! Best regards. Phil

Just beware that you're not even slightly pressing on the camera lens release button when camera is to your eye - as this will disable autofocus. Happens a lot with my 85mm f1.8G for some reason.

I have to say that's not my experience. A friend of mine accidentally used some 7 year ood colour neg film kept refridgerated which was unprinatble. B&W might be better.

Thanks for taking time to share your insights into this. As for a print darkroom it would take wild horses to get me back in there. I was a local newspaper photographer for 20 years, then self ...
