Welcome to the forums... Does your username hint at a Voigtlander film camera past?

Good spotting! More like film future! I was lucky enough to inherit my Great-grandfather's old bessa 6x6 folding camera! Haven't put a roll through it yet though

Ah, Macs. The ocean baths there are a favourite spot for dawn shoots. But I guess I am preaching to the converted.

Cool. I'll troll through some lenses I have to see if there is a nice zoom with no front/back focusing issues and send for your comparison.

I missed this one sorry. No need to worry, my autofocus no longer works on my camera (it did when I took the cat photo though). Thanks anyway!

Sure are! One of the best shots I've taken was from the pool!

OK no worries. I have a few lenses that I'm happy to share.
