Gotta agree with all of the above, LED's and WLF's what wrong with a needle and a viewfinder. I've been tempted by the Nikon F2 SB for a long time, supposedly the best F2 that still takes all the old lenses, but that LED keeps the money in my pocket.

A roll a week is a nice throughput 👍 I really don't normally shoot this many, I couldn't afford it !

Yep I'm in the same ballpark usage wise, just enough to keep my hand in, and I've enough frozen to keep me going for a couple of years or so at that rate, so I can worry about it later on 👍

Well good luck with the rest of your ECN2 adventure, I've a couple of rolls in the fridge I haven't tried yet, I was planning on following the route very ably laid out by Steve @stevebrokaw.bsky.social , perhaps I'll get a chance now things are quietening down !

It's normally about 3 months worth for me, SEVEN photo-walks in the last month, PLUS a photo trip to the Lake District, just too much 🥴

Six more rolls to scan, that'll be 27 rolls shot in June, must be my busiest film month ever, feels like I'll enjoy slowing down a little in July.

Glad it brings back some memories Gerry, I used to live by the Phil for a while when working at the RLH back in the 80's, it kind of felt like this area was my place at that time.

Yep I have the R Elmarit, cracking lens too, hard to pick between them, but you can never have enough 28's in my opinion ;)

Maybe utilise a Peak Design anchor link to 'somehow' connect to a lanyard of choice ?

Thanks Debra ! I think the wet conditions while difficult with rain drops on lenses etc etc, really focussed the mind on what photos to take.

Good on you Graham. I think a digital file still contains a lot of the properties of a photograph, but when we think of the photograph I think we do picture in our minds something that we can hold in our hands. Something that will last and make its own way through time.

So I wore out the locking mechanism on my old macro rail, not bad it was very cheap and must have lasted about 8 years. Time for a new one, this Neewer seems a lot tighter with greater levels of precision in its movement.
