Finished the film in the K1000. I was in a hurry and out of inspiration so put a close up filter on a 135 and went out into the garden for some flower pics.
Posted off 4 films for processing.

Got 4 sets of scans back today. I used Filmdev in Stockton on Tees. Just up the road from me although it took Royal Mail 4 days to cover the 24 miles distance. Taking into account postage out, processing and return of negs, it was the best option I could find. Scans look good overall at first glance and the cameras I used all seem to be working well.

Baby Speed Graphic .. another camera that I had to do an internet search for. Nice results. Seems like it's got a pretty good lens.

Looking good. Am off to Spain next month on a bike trip, debating between Konica S and Contessamat. The former has a better lens but is a good bit bigger and heavier than the latter.

Nice! Not jealous at all. Surely you have something more compact to take with you? Maybe an Olympus XA2 or similar?

Bit of a lumpt to carry around though. Made quite a few mistakes the first time using it, like not taking the darkslide out of the film back. Equivilant of not taking the lens cap off.

The Contessamat isn't too big, I have a Super Silette that needs servicing but is only a bit smaller and no meter. Or a folding Contessa! I like the viewfinder metering on the rigid Contessas, and it is quite directional, noticeably moreso than the Konica, as the cell is set in a little tunnel.

Oh yeah, you had a pile of those to repair if I remember.
