Default A canon trio

After selling up recently I thought that was it for me and film. Visiting family over christmas I came home with a Canon a1, ae1 and av1 all in working order. There's just no escaping film for me.

There's no escape Jon. In the words of private Fraser: "Ye'r doomed, doomed I tell ye. :

Hi Jon,

You may recall that I sold you the 7700 because I been 'digital' for some years (wash my mouth out!). Recently I decided to resurrect my b&w film activities, dug the other dark-room clobber out of the loft and bought a Leica M2. Somewhat jumping the gun, I also placed a three-figure order with AG for films, chemicals and other bits'n'pieces - then found the results from the M2 to show it to be faulty. Sent it back for a refund today and resurrected my ancient ME Super whilst I ponder how to proceed...

Richard I think the "old un" can be said for many things, I use a WW2 RAF morse key, the electronic stuff is nice but the straight key will go on forever.

Jon I have a couple of classic cars that I love so much that the ''newer'' of the 2 I use every day,although it is 27 years old now and due for a respray that I am going to do this year,so with transport as with my cameras a good old un beats a good new un for me Richard
