I'm still not getting notifications from this thread, everything else is fine. I quite liked my FX-D but I have only shot one roll through. I just ordered a reloadable 126 cartridge, got some old gear I want to try out.

Nice pics from the Minolta there Yoko, I do like pics like the last one, capturing the tones in the dark foreground. Kenzie, what's the 360 camera you were using? The tiny planet pic was tres cool.

It's a Ricoh Theta S, it's an older model but it was about £90. One listed last night at £74.99 bin or offer, plus postage. Edit, just checked and its sold. You can get a good deal if you are quick enough, I would suggest reading up on it first though. Also, if looking at the listing photos, make sure that the lenses aren't marked, the can fall over if stood up without a tripod and seeing as the lenses are proud of the body they can get scratched or smashed.

Anyone interested in a Zeiss Ikon Symbolica??
It's a point and shoot auto with a 50mm f2.8 Tessar on it. The light meter seems to be a bit dodgy and I don't think I'll ever use it.

I'm good thanks, JR is more of a Zeiss man. Maybe he could make it work?

Not my bag really, what's up with the meter though?

Not sure what's wrong with the meter. There's movement and a bit of life in it but I'm not convinced it's consistent or accurate. One for the charity shop, I think.

A few from the Yashica FXD. Nothing special. I took it out to give my daily lockdown walks some purpose, forced myself to snap at anything and was anal enough to write down lenses used.

Kenzie, the first 2 are from the 50mm ML with the broken beauty ring. Nice colour rendition and although the 2nd shot is naff, I kinda like the bokeh.

28mm Super Paragon

80-200 Tokina RMC

Glad to see the lens performed well enough for you. I can't remember what lens was on the front of mine. What film was it again?

It was my last roll of Poundland Agfa.
I'm just getting my chems warmed up as I write - going to develop the film from the OM4 tonight.
