I went all nostalgic for a Spotmatic F from my youth to compliment my 67. So I took a punt on a pretty beat up Spottie body from Ebay and added a a 28mm SMC Takumar. Changed the light seals in the body and put in a battery and to my great joy found the light meter to be working!

Here are some shots from the first reel. Apologise for the dirty scans.

There are some great shots here but I'm sticking with No.6. The sub looks menacing, as though it's slipping in under the cover of darkness. Great light on the hull.

I have a number of old 35mm transparencies. They have been stored in plastic pockets or storage boxes, however over the years damp (I think) blotches have appeared and are generally a bit dirty and I have started the process of scanning them to digital.

Is there a cleaner that can be used directly to the film or is it better to work on the image in Photoshop or the like?

BTW I'm using an Epson flatbed scanner.

Thanks

EDIT: here is an example

Thanks Chaps

It is indeed a Leyland and to give it it's full name Leyland Royal Tiger Worldmaster! It is a twin decker I believe and travelled to all the major GP's of it's time, mainly in Europe, Spa,Monza etc.
I am lucky to live close to Bourne where BRM developed and built their cars.
This picture was taken at the anniversary of BRM winning the Drivers title with Graham Hill when all the serviceable cars were run through the town centre.And it wasn't a parade!

These colour pictures (not Pentax is that allowed here?) are again in Bourne and are of the famous V16 and the transporter with staff and relations of BRM.

I took this picture with my first roll through my new 67. It had been sometime since I'd taken any film photography so can't remember all the technical details are of the picture.

Thanks Brian

Hi All
I have only ever owned two proper cameras, both Pentax. I travelled the hippy trail in the 70's with my Spotmatic F and have plenty of stored memories from it.

I have always had an interest in photography and collect B/W and Cibachrome prints, mostly motor racing.

Recently I purchased a 67 which I have wanted for some time and hope to post some pictures.

Cheers
Brian
