Signing up for a Canva account is quick and painless. The only part of Affinity that costs money is the Canva AI features, which I refuse to use. Everything that came with Affinity V1 and V2 has been tidied up, optimised and its a heck of a lot quicker than it used to be. It's worth a try, Steve.

The first lot were spooled on a hand operated bulk roller and he had done a lot before the problem was discovered. He bought a posh one and it solved the issue. This is the peril of buying expired film that has been hand spooled. He has done what he needed but there's still some out in the wild.

The reason for the change in stickers is because Ilford asked the gentleman not to use their Ilford name or FP4 film stock name due to copyright etc. If they were already in branded Ilford cartridges and packaging it wouldn't have been a problem.

It's a sweet lens. 😎

Although I don't have a film camera that takes VR/IS lenses, I would image it should make a difference to film photos when used on a VR/IS lens compatible camera body.

Yep, it does those pretty well too. 😁

It does, Tom.

Tis a hefty beast that can be used as a defensive weapon if needed.

Slide film isn't my forté, but Provia is a robust film. I can't see much wrong in shooting it at 50 iso and develop as normal.

40 years it has stood tall. There's a 6 storey block of flats being built on the site. The new market hall is currently being built, should be open by Xmas 2026. As for the clock..... Nobody knows.
