Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.

A recently developed image from a roll of film that’s been lurking in a camera for four years!

I really must take my Olympus μ[mju:] Zoom 115 out with me more often.

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

Konica Big Mini, Konica 35mm f/3.5 – JCH Street Pan 400
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 9 mins at 20°c.

I recently dropped my Konica Big Mini and apart from a couple of tiny scratches it appeared to have survived my clumsiness but of course the true test would come from further use…

This roll of JCH Streetpan 400 had been in the camera for a while so I decided to finish it off during a stroll around town, thankfully the camera seems to be working fine.

Olympus μ [mju:] – II – Ilford Delta 400 Professional
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.

Aqueduct Cottage has featured on this blog at least once before, here, coincidentally taken using another tiny point & shoot camera, the Canon Sure Shot Sleek.

The cottage has been extensively restored in the intervening four years and to my eyes is less appealing to photograph but the team behind the restoration has some interesting plans for Peter Nightingale’s cottage.

Konica Big Mini – Ilford HP5+

A pic from the archives today… This railway viaduct spans the Nottinghamshire town of Mansfield and has featured here before.

I love the sense of scale provided by the gent sitting on the bench in the sunshine.

The Konica Big Mini is one of my all-time favourite compact cameras, it’s currently loaded with JCH Street Pan 400 film and is often in my pocket…
