<p>Silverprint sell raw chemicals (& much more besides) - <a href="http://www.silverprint.co.uk/">http://www.silverprint.co.uk/</a> - but if you're outside the UK it may not be much easier than having the stuff shipped from the US.</p>

<p>Used RLS with Rollei Retro 100 with some good results. It's a <strong>one shot</strong> developer - dilute 1+4 (I use 60ml dev to 240ml water in a normal Paterson tank for a single 35mm film). Best to mix it immediately before processing & discard it afterwards.</p>

You mentioned East Kennett in your original post - not worth the effort given the time you have available, just a long barrow covered with trees. It doesn't have any accessible chambers, unlike West Kennett which is definitely worth a visit, you also get an excellent view of Silbury Hill. If you're feeling thirsty you also get an excellent view of Silbury from the bar of the Waggon & Horses plus Wadworths 6X... :-)

 

Couple of other sites near your route - Chepstow Castle is one of the most impressive/interesting in South Wales (& easier to get to than Goodrich), Caerwent has a remarkably complete circuit of Roman walls & is easily visited between Cardiff & Chepstow & Tintern Abbey is also close at hand.

 

& don't waste your time in London..... Cheers.

Use the times given for Agfa APX 100 - essentially the same film.

My "go everywhere kit" just stretches it a bit at both ends:

 

21mm f/3.5 & 100mm f/2

 

Sometimes take a 50mm (1.8 - MIJ) along but rarely use it...

Thanks for all the information. I now know what I've got & as I have no use for the lens I will find out what it's worth by putting it up on e-bay later today... :-)

Hi,

 

Need some help identifying a camera lens I've just aquired (came as part of a job

lot of enlarger lenses, which it clearly isn't).

 

It has the following info on the front ring - Schneider-Kreuznach 4538084 Retina-

Curtar-Xenon C f:5.6/35mm. Has a bayonet mount. Serial number indicates it

dates from the late 50s.

 

Photo attached. Any information would be appreciated.

 

Thanks - Martyn<div></div>

Takes 2 SR44s...

Hi,

 

Just bought a CDS Prism Finder for my RB67 pro-S - unfortunately no

manual/instructions. Main thing I need to know is what sort of batteries it

takes?

 

If anyone has any other comments/advice on how best to use it they'd be very

welcome.

 

Thanks - Martyn

Hi,

 

Looking for a source of distilled water in the UK. Seems to be difficult to get

hold of (particularly at a reasonable price).

 

Thanks - Martyn

Thanks for all the advice - plenty to consider.

 

When I've done thinking I'll post a couple of images from whatever camera I go for :-)

Hi. I'm thinking of buying a MF camera for the first time (after many years of

using 35mm) & am after some advice on how to best get into the format. Only MF

camera I've actually handled (briefly) was a Mamiya RB67 & it seems there are

some really cheap deals to be had on these (at KEH for example). So - is this a

sensible way of starting out in MF - anyone suggest a better option? Any advice

considered - thanks.
