Default Hello from Northamptonshire

Hi,

I've just bought a nice Voigtlander Vito B on a whim because I liked the simplicity of the camera. I used to shoot B&W film on a Pentax S1a - which I still have - too many years ago, but I'm afraid I lapsed

Still I'm looking forward to giving it another go with both of the above, and I suspect I'll be back for advice.

James

I may swipe my wife's medium format folders from time to time as well

It's well known that medium format folders need regular use to keep them in working order. I think you ought to put them in your kitbag with the voightlander without delay.

Hi James and welcome to Fadu, be careful, these classic cameras can bvecome very addicitive, as I have found out, I have a Vito b, among many others, 35mm and MF folding, riged bodie TLRs, and they all seem to use more film than my Modern cameas such as my Bronica and Pentax, but the modern cameras sen to to collect more dust due to lack of use,
Richard
