I have to agree on the mileage Gibbo, especially with the 'Irish history' comment. When I had my 2.2 HDi C5 my daughter accused me of unnecessarily polluting the atmosphere. I wasn't in the mood for an argument at the time so I placated her by promising my future cars would not be diesel! I keep my promises, even when I was probably foolish in making them!! :-D

I seem to remember someone looking for one of these? :)

I once tried one, albeit, for 35mm film, and it was found to be very wanting :( That said, the phone app. was quite good and proved occasionally useful for a quick look at a neg.

I ended up buying a high-quality dedicated 35mm negative scanner.

I would like the Hasselblad but would be unlikely ever to use it.

Some nice stuff there :) I've just blown my budget on another lens so must resist!

Plus, I have enough photographic projects in the 'roundtoit' pile to last me some time ;)

6.2 mph, would you 'tune' it?

I should think a Viper V10 might fit in the back quite well!! :-D

This may generate some interest, it's almost perfect for me but I like my Legacy for everyday use and this is too big for my second car. :-D

Thanks Mick, some nice kit in there...

That last lot is definitely worth a bid!

Had a look through but nothing much caught my attention. Only the Wirgin Edixa mat reflex TTL, which was my first SLR, couldn't afford a Pentax Spotmatic at the time.
I had a moment wondering about a view camera. I had a Linhof Technica in the seventies. I would be hard pushed to find a use for it now, and even harder to find 4 x 5" sheet film for it.

I'd be hard pressed to find a use for it too Steve. Not really suited to fast moving sports photography!

Sheet film of all sizes remains very readily available though. Ilford will be happy to meet your needs :)
