I had a friend who uses E Bay put in a bid for a Tamron 90mm Macro lens complete with a Minolta adaptal 2. adapter. That came today unfortunately too late to get out and use it. Not only was it a 90mm F2.5 Macro, it came with a 1-1 extension tube and a 2x multiplier, all Tamron so it should be quite useful. Not bad for £77! Tomorrow looks like being quite nice so it will get some use with B&W.

Just finished trying to take photo's of bubbles.

Hope to develop film this afternoon and if anything comes out try to get some prints done tomorrow.

Here's photo of the set up I used on the dining table.

Will let you know how I get on

Today has been spent taking my AE1 for a walk, taking photos of random sh**e as my husband puts it and a peaceful afternoon looking at cameras, I need a 6x6 MF (husband says want is not the same as need)

so is a Bronica SQ a ‘want’ or ‘need’ ?

As I would tell my wife, I just need that,( name that camera) to complete ( again, name the reason) I mean I am getting older and I just need that AF minolta, then just a second one, after all it is not always easy to change the lens quickly, then there was the 2 Canon.s never had a canpn, and 2 is better than one, then there was the Bronica ETRsi, after all, I have a lovely collection of lenses for it, and the one I have is getting old and battered, so another one in better condition is a good invesrment if my current goes wrong, Then there was the Rolleiflex, realy needed one for 66 for the better quality, and so on and so on, I always really need just that camera, so whatever camera I fancy is just the camera I really need for whatever the reason, and she still agrees with me, after, she just needs that new Dress/skirt/coat or pair of shoes, saves all that arguement, and the Bronica 66 is a good investment in your photography,Get the Idea,as for me passing the time, well, getting easier over here, we are allowed out now for 4 hours a day for anything we like, and on the 12th stay at home is to be lifted, so I will not have to sneak my camera out
