Look like they already left :lol_big:

I’m gonna go buy some 35mm film from somewhere (I’m hoping boots sells it!) and most likely take pictures of my silly dogs. As well as drinking an unfathomable amount of tea!

Reopened Jessops stores may sell it, if there are any specialist camera shops left in your town or maybe pharmacies owned by Asian folk (its possible that those who are my age might still have some leftover stock (though it could be well outdated) and/or be interested in photography themselves).

The last cat we had at our family house in Reading could only be photographed with a 1970s era Soviet film camera, he would hide from modern (1990s/2000s era) film cameras, digital cameras, and video cameras, and it was impossible to record his meow with any type of audio recording equipment, he would stay quiet and even walk away from a full bowl of food if he suspected that there was any such in the vicinity, and he otherwise enjoyed eating and/or making noise…

It was only recently I finally worked out how he sussed it out – modern AV equipment contains a type of power supply circuit used to get stronger voltage from small batteries that also gives out a high frequency signal as do analogue video and audio tape recorders (this signal is used to overpower noise that is present in the tape from natural magnetic fields). Humans cannot hear this signal, but cats can…

Im going to see a punk band at the pub I used to work at. So lots of free drinks I should imagine 🙂

thats not bad, and even if the dates are way out the worst is a colour shift that the arty/hipster types actually try to emulate or the auto processing kit corrects it. I didn’t realise that Sigma lenses pre-dated the DSLR era, i use them on my DSLR and they are decent glass with a few extra features than a stock Nikon lens but not horrendously priced.

Don’t forget the ISO on your film is constant (unlike a digital camera which can auto adjust it), so your usable light levels and exposure settings are thus interrelated. At least this uses LR6 (AA) batteries rather than any strange/odd mercury ones which are discontinued because of international environment agreements (you can get equivalents but the voltage is slightly difference which could cause your exposure meter to show wrong readings).
