That is Westminster Abbey. Westminster Cathedral is a very different building, it's the main Roman Catholic cathedral in a much more modern style, described as Neo Byzantine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_Cathedral

I still think you can achieve much of what you want with the kit lens. Here's a hand held shot I just did in my garden with a simple +4 close up lens screwed on to my 18-55. I could go in quite a bit closer, preferably on a tripod for best results of course.

Do you have the 18-55mm kit lens? They focus pretty close, and if it's image stabilised, so much the better. Adding a simple close up lens gets you closer still, without noticeable loss in image quality in my experience.

Yes Niels. Your results don't suggest ant detriment to image quality. It's a shame any kind of lens defect often results in the collapse of the camera's monetary value. On the other hand it may be possible to acquire a perfectly usable camera at reduces price. Thanks for posting.

I've got a 3.5F with a third party "Scissors" strap. I tend to support the camera with my hand in use, as the design does seem a little unusual. However it has never actually lent me down. I'd be surprised if F&H would risk an unproven design. It's hard to otherwise fit a strap due to the strap lugs being blocked by the part which engages with the scissors.

I use flash for DSLR scanning. It has a well defined colour temperature, eliminates camera shake and gives much more flexibility in terms of aperture.

It seems a shame to try to cut down 127 film, which is itself rare enough, in a procedure which may be risky, and probably will not result in correct framing even if you can see the numbers on the film through the red window. Someone mentioned that 828 has the same width as 35mm - I would have thought a better plan would be to use 35mm , covering the red window (and any other possible source of light leaks) and guesstimating the number of turns on the winder to get reasonable frame spacing. Of course some film will be wasted by winding too far, but so what? I must admit I've never done this with an 828 camera, but I did use 35mm in a big Kodak folder once, getting several panoramic images. I don't know if a 35mm cassette will fit in your camera - it did in my old folder, wedged in with a lump of Blue-Tac. If not you will have to re-spool it on to one of your 828 spools. Some people like the look of sprocket holes in pictures.
