Default Hi from Highland

just come across this forum whilst trying to find info on old films - I miss Agfa APX25 badly - looking for a substitute - why at this time, seeing as its been gone a wee while? Well I used to be a teacher of art/photography..moderator for AQA ..all the sort of stuff you get sucked into during the working day...but I retired recently, bought myself a D300 digital and whilst its a wonderful tool - I am bored..use it to help with some painting stuff and thats it. I used to contribute to Creative Monochrome for a while, and have had a couple of one person shows in these parts. Built my own darkrooms[wet and dry]some years ago so I am a lucky man. I am an ARPS - which my good lady [probably right]thinks is a waste of money and I have a lovely mechanical Hasselblad with 3 lenses siting upstairs on a tripod unused for about... probably a year now - pathetic. I was taught, largely by Uncle Ansel's writing and have found Barry Thornton's stuff very helpful - so pretty traditional....anyway hello...Im going to trawel through some threads now and see what I can find on slow film.........
best wishes to you all
Brian Poe

Hi Brian and welcome from another APX25 fan. I still have some 35mm in the freezer but when it runs out ... I don't know what I'll replace it with.
