Contax T2 – Harman Phoenix 200 rated at ISO 100
A pic from the Analogue Wonderland Big Film Photowalk 2026 in Sheffield in June.
I took two cameras, the Contax T2 and a Nikon F2S (the latter loaded with Kentmere 200). It was an enjoyable day, we even had time for a couple of pints in the Kelham Island Tavern!

I’m digitising some of my older negatives as they crop up during my current bout of sorting and filing…
This image is from a trip to the Lake District National Park my wife and I took at Easter 1998. If memory serves, the day before this (when I was wandering around in shorts and a t-shirt) we’d been treated to biting winds and snow flurries!
The Contax G1 is one of the few cameras I truly regret parting with…

Contax G1 – Ilford Delta 400 Professional
Today I’m trying out the excellent Negative Lab Pro plugin for Lightroom with on scans made with my Epson Perfection 4870 Photo flatbed scanner… So far things are looking pretty good!
Following advice on the Negative Lab Pro forum I’m scanning my black & white negatives as 48-bit colour positives (with all sharpening/correction/restoration options turned off). Next thing is to try a few colour negatives!
The above image was taken (I think) the day after a friend’s wedding in October 1999 (Hi Marie! Hi Andy!) during a brief wander around the university city of Cambridge.
