Finally went out for a golden hour walk with my daughter the other evening, while it was still mild. Took my Pentax Super A with Lomo 800 and f1.2 lens to try to grab maximum low light. Going to be a while before seeing the results as it's a 36 exp film! It was nice to just head off for a while though, we were patting some donkeys on the way, and saw her favourite duck.
Today we went up to York for the theatre and a bit of a troll around, took a few more. It's a place where your real problem should be running out of film but I wasn't finding so many things to point my camera at, maybe it's just not what I wanted to see. Kenzie I know you were thinking of going up there, it's a good tourist spot and you'll have more luck than me I'd bet, take a wide angle lens though cos you can't get the minster in 50mm unless you're across town!

I think quite a few of my cameras have visited York for film tests. The Minster isn't easy to photograph and it's a problem to find a decent position to either fit it all in or to avoid having lots of tourists in the foreground.
Only 4 days into the year and the lens magpie bit me again.

Well if we do make it up to York I'll make sure to pack the 28mm for an Olympus. Yoko, what did you do?

I seem to have somehow acquired another Yashica lens.

Which one? I've been digging out some point and shoot cameras that will be donated. Doubt anyone here would be interested in any of them. I did find the Minolta 100-200 if you would you be interested Yoko? Don't want anything for it, probably be donated otherwise.

The lens is a weird one. 42-70 ML zoom. Not very fast but solid and not much bigger than the standard 50mm.
It gets quite good reviews and will fit nicely on the FX-D as a walk around lens.
If the Minolta 100-200 is a lens, I'll pass thanks; plenty of options in that range. Ebay have a flat rate £1 selling fee coming up Sunday/Monday so it's a good opportunity to try selling surplus stuff.

I can't seem to find any information on that one. It seems to be such an odd zoom range, usually you get 35-70 or 40-80. I have been checking the prices of the gear I'm looking to get rid of and the value is such that it's not worth the effort of selling. I'm still in two minds about the mju ii, I didn't really get on with it but it's pocketable and had a brilliant lens.

It is a weird range - a few paces forward or back either side of a 50mm. Someone describes it as a 'framing lens' on one forum.
If you don't fancy the mju, sell it while prices are high and put the money into something you want. With the low value stuff, maybe it's worth bundling it together and selling as a job lot.
I put a battery into my Olympus autozoom 120 and there's a film in there with only 3 exposures used. But, it's a Konica 200asa probably bought in about 1995. Continue with it or take it out and bin it?

You might get some colour shifting and some exposure issues. Lucky dip really, normally with a manual camera you would add an extra stop for every ten years of age. If the camera is reading the dx coding there won't be a lot you can do. Some people like the randomness. All the stuff going is 126,127 and basic point and shoots. Really can't be dealing with them all.
