Had to get one!

    From seeing what can be done with these “toys” I am hooked. Got a 120N a couple of days ago and ran
    a roll of expired 35 through it. Results were terrible. Not helped by the confusion of the lady behind the
    counter in my local 1 hour place. Anyway ran some new 35 through it. Getting there. It is very very different
    to using a dslr. Keep forgetting to remove lens cap, wind on, focus, not use bulb setting! How can a “toy”
    keep catching me out? So here is a shot from the second roll. Trust me the first roll was even worse.

    The image is VERY large. What I can see from this small photo, it looks like an illustration in magazines from the 90’s. That’s what first came in my mind. It would be great seeing the larger version (resize it to 800px wide, please).

    It takes a while to get used to them, throw the the lens cap away, why protect such a cheap lens, that will solve one problem. Keep at it you will get there.

    Hi. Sorry first post. Here is the resized version. Looks very grainy because
    I don’t have a negative scanner and so had to use my monitor and DSLR.

    Nice one… I can’t wait to get one of these.

    Did you just hold the neg up to the screen and take a picture of it?

    Yeah, I just opened a white screen in photoshop and stuck the negative to the screen.
    I used macro filters on my 50 mm 1.8 to fill the shot. It’s not ideal but will do
    until I get a negative scanner.

    I would recommend a lightbox in the meantime: you can get them pretty cheaply and then have nice, even light and are completely flat AND horizontal!

    try Warehouse Express
