Greetings from Germany

Hi all,
Long time lurker here and just wanted to introduce myself,
My name is Gerd and I live in southern germany.
I shoot with a K5 and the DA limiteds most of the time (15/35/70). Got a Q as well for fun.

Recently started to shoot B/W film with an old Spotmatic F. I did some film development and print when I was at scool and wanted that oldscool feeling again.

rgds,
Gerd.

Welcome to the forum, well you've got all the kit, K-5 and Ltd's, lets see the results of when you put 'em all together.

Thanks all!

I promise to show something soon!
Developed my first roll of HP5 this week but still having problems taking a photo of the negative. IKEA glass desk with light bulb underneath is not ideal

But I had a blast anyway!

Why ever not, it's just a mighty big version of a lightbox.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, the problem is not the desk. Rather the 35ltd with the old takumar lens hood that cannot hold the weight of the camera when standing on top of the negative

so it shows some "focus creep"...

I see the problem your having now, I can't come up with a quick fix off the top of my head.

Maybe others reading this will have a cunning plan or two for you.
