I'm hugely impressed with Mrs Rod's dedication to the cause.

I discovered the problem with the Tessar. I had the bright idea of stripping the lens down further and putting the lens barrel through the bottom of the focussing ring rather than the top. Went straight in smooth as you like but as soon as the bottom threads come to engage, it jams up. I think one of the threads is mashed at the entry point (possibly due to me trying to put it together so many times) and will need a bit of metalwork.

20% off everything on ebay before 6pm tonight if Paypal is used along with a voucher code (BINs of course, unless the auction ends before six)
Stock up with camera goodies. (1 transaction only but you can add different things to the basket)
Shame I bought a new bike cover last night.

I didn't get anything off ebay in the end. Finished off the roll in the 44a today, as well as shooting with the Kiev 4A and the Rolleicord. Nothing in the charity shops, there was an See the 1A but it was £30.

It was a good offer. I was thinking about films or a starter developing kit and chemicals. In the end I maxed out on a Leica.

Unfortunately, not an analogue camera lol. But I got Huawei P10 phone with 2 Leica lenses. Had my eye on it for a while and it's come down a bit in price but this offer got it down from £350 to £280. Can't see it getting much cheaper than that.
Shame really. I really like my Lumia 920 and I've had it for 4 years. Best phone I've had. Great camera, image stabilisation, Windows is stable, fast and not buggy and it still runs as smoothly as when I bought it. But, bl###y Microsoft haven't upgraded this phone to WP10, support has ended, Skype's stopped working, some of my apps don't work or wont upgrade and WeChat (essential Chinese social media app) isn't fully working and doesn't keep up with the new versions. It infuriates me that just to maintain pace with technology, I have to give up a really good phone. Should put that in gripe of the day.

Just going through all my China photos, trying to sort them out.
I've chosen 6 categories and put 5 pics in each - picking only 5 was hard and I completely failed when it came to people/portraits.
I'll upload them and PM you the link.

How is the Kiev like to shoot?
