Forgot I needed a roll of Ilford HP5 for a film dev course (Caffenol) I'm on this week. So, out with my Olympus OM1md and 28mm f2.8 lens. Plus my newly aquired Leica D-Lux 8. Images straight from Leica camera, shot in black & white high contrast.

2026,the year of change photographically. Digitally my Nikon Z 5 with a range of lenses had progressively become incompatable with my current photographic ways. Excellent equipment btw but being used less and less and less. So a move to a digital compact, the Leica D-Lux 8. Small, compact, great menu interface, carry everywhere camera and good image creation. And more analogue disapplines being explored than previously with film developing and darkroom printing as well instead of using paid labs.
Here some very recent images taken with a Yashica Electro 35 GSN on Ilford HP5 Plus developed in Bellini Eco developer at 1+1 for 12 minutes.

Test roll of Kentmere PAN 200 put through a newly aquired Canon EOS 10 with Sigma 28 to 200mm f3.5/f5.6 zoom lens. OK for some more films when the weather is right.

A dry spell, so out today with my latest charity purchase A Kodak 66 MkII in great condition inc. case. At the same time also managed to purchase a Agfa Super Silette also in pristine condition. Already run a roll of Kentmere PAN 200 through the Agfa with good results as can be seen.

It was a bright red bus, honest!
