<p>and Docked.</p>

<p>Pentax KX with M 50/f4.0 Macro and HP5. Poor choice of film for our dismal low contrast winter weather and a drab photographer makes drab images. Scans BSH/V700 Silverfast SE.<br> Anacortes Ferry "Elwha" arriving Sidney under the watchful eye of a lone Grebe.</p><div></div>

<p>O.K., I think it's fixed.</p>

<p>I have renewed my membership but still no email. I am trying to contact a Forum Member and it says "Email sent" but I have no record of this in my Emails Sent & Received list. When I send myself a Test email from home (to my Photo.net address) I receive a copy at home but nothing on Photonet. What's wrong?</p>

<p>Renewed by PayPal yesterday, still have no email working!</p>

<p>Don. Got some info from the Rangefinder Forum. The lens lines up to the left by design, apparently so you could see the aperture number through the eyepiece, although this looks impossible to me. Apparently all LTM's line up like this on Canons & others. Nothing to worry about. As with you, the sharpness impresses. Thank you.</p>

<p>and last,</p><div></div>

<p>Now some boats.</p><div></div>

<p>... and 3 zone focused down at the Brentwood Lodge Marina.</p><div></div>

<p>Last focus/sharpness check.</p><div></div>

<p>Next Light Pole, up the drive.</p><div></div>

<p>Forgive me Mike, I'm going for 6 today. First time with Ultra 100 and also new-to-me Canon P & Canon 50/1.8. I bought the Canon & Lens as separate buys from Japan. All looks good except that the Lens does not mount center on the body, but about 1 cm left of the Center Line. I've read posts that claim this does not matter as long as the Flange mounts the correct distance from the film plane. Anyway I have shot a few tests on a target at about 4 feet, 10 feet and 15 feet and surprisingly I am very impressed with the sharpness However I find it irritating when I sometimes automatically set the aperture centered and find I overexposed by 2 Stops! Looking for advice on this as it seems strange the the two Canon products do not mount cooperatively?<br> Whatever, here are the first three looking at focus. Rodinal, MDC reco. 1+100, 14 mins. Scans BSH/V700 SilverFast SE.<br> First our drive's stone wall. Looks good to me.</p><div></div>

<p>As usual, beautiful work Rick. I'm motivated to look at my Prakitica-L and Pentacon Auto 50/1.8 again. Thank you.</p>

<p>I second BeBu's vote for the KX which has MLU.</p>

<p>Great images everyone. A Merry Festive Season to all with my apologies for miserable weather and some procrastination resulting in no contribution this week. </p>

<p>Mike, Rick, Don some beautiful tones captured in the PanF+, equally matched by Erko & Bill with the Kentmere. Clearly, the processing is down to a fine art. Thank you.</p>

<p>and last,</p><div></div>

<p>and in Landscape,</p><div></div>

<p>and the rest from Angler's marina.</p><div></div>

<p>You have certainly sorted that one Rick. Very nice. Ditto for Bill with the Kentmere 400.</p> <p>The last few (promise) from the RTSII/Acros/Rodinal.<br> We have a new chum in town. A brand new distillery has been installed right on the Sidney sea-front and is now in operation.</p> <div></div>

<p>O.K. Got it. An old thread points to stuck/broken/loose pin at bottom of insert which should reach into the film-back and push another pin into camera-back, but now does not protrude enough. Found an old spare insert and camera works. Cheers, new insert/back $50-$70 at KEH.<br> Thanks again to all.<br> Tony</p>

<p>Thanks everyone. I'm in B.C. Canada. Will give PCR Houston a call. The problem is the proverbial Film Advance not cocking shutter or advancing film counter and just keeps winding film with a very light click each rotation. Multi-exposure works as it should.<br> Yes, I have film in it and working battery. Problem could also possibly be not detecting the loaded film, i.e. a bad Film Back.?<br> Tony</p>

<p>Any suggestions?<br> Thank yo,<br> Tony</p>

<p>Brian, from another post.</p> <p ><a href="/photodb/user?user_id=4009954">Tony Evans</a> , Nov 08, 2016; 03:38 p.m.</p> <p>Cam,<br />This works for me on Acros, PanF+ and FP4+. Rodinal (1 in 100) semi-stand with continuous inversions for first minute, than stand for 1 hour with 1 gentle inversion at each of 15, 30 and 45 minutes. Now trying with Arista EDU Ultra 100 and Kentmere 100. Low to medium ISO films only. To avoid gradient lines I always overload the tank a little. eg, 400 ml not 300 ml, 600 ml not 500 ml, etc.</p>
