Appearing on here soon

In Decemeber, I bought a bag of old lenses and in the bag were a couple of expired black and white films (the best part of 13 years expired).

I asked a couple of "old heads" at my camera club if the films would be OK. Both said yes and advised me to set the ISO on the camera a little under the ISO on the film (to help the contrast on the old film).

So I put the film in my old Olympus OM20 SLR camera (the FP4 first) and I am nearly at the end of my 36 exposures.

This beautiful picture was shot with a vintage Industar И-61 53mm f2.8 lens on my Sony A6000
Ah wonderful ! my first SLR camera was an Olympus OM 20 - I loved that little camera , as it had been redundant for years - I sold it and all the lenses etc last year ! Someone had a bargain !!
