Hasselblad 501cm CF80mm on expired FUJI Across. Epson V700 scan.

Freshly serviced Hasselblad 501cm CF80mm on expired FUJI Across I found in the back of the freezer. Epson V700 scan.

Nikon F2 with a Nikkor 55mm f/1.2 on Ilford Pan F50. Epson V700. Same kit all 3 images. This large model was pretty good. Had the engine noise and creaked and groaned when moving. Heads of the 2 in the turret looked around, keeping lookout. This was at a steam steam rally event. The engine here was powering a large log saw and some Karen downwind complained about the smoke around her caravan. They moved and replaced it with a vintage tractor. Hope she enjoyed the exhaust fumes. Classic

Both with a Hasselblad 501cm and CF80mm on some long expired Ilford Pan F50

Covid restrictions and a slight heart problem curtailed my efforts for some time. Here's a couple from a wander to a local trading estate.

Mostly use this camera with a non metered prism but this meter does work and work well.

If you really want the FTN meter repaired Kanto Camera (Japan) can do it. rodeo joe makes a good point, but only you know if it's worth it.

So I decided to take a break from photography as the pandemic took hold but then GAS took over and I got hold of a Nikon S3. As it looks like we might be heading for another lockdown I am staying very close to home so this is all I've got. Nikon S3, Nikkor 50mm f/1.4, Ilford FP4+,V700 scan.

The fairly even height is deceptive, the D3 is much bulkier.

I think I'm starting to lose it during the UK lockdown. Now in my 60's I have just purchased my first DSLR camera. A Nikon D3s with an insanely low shutter count of 10600. Camera came with the box, manual, charger + 2 batteries and, a loud Nikon strap which I will never use. Camera also has a 6month warranty. The camera functions as it should and I could get spoilt jumping the iso around as required. This all came about just after Sover Wong returned the my F2 which, now behaves like it was brand new. How much use any camera I own will get is debatable after this years events. Picture below is the new kid on the block with my still much loved F5 Taken with a horrible Sony pocket camera.
