I have spent a year getting to know my Retina 1a and after a dozen rolls and much study, It's in my top 5 current favourites in my collection. It's a camera I have to use my skills to get a good photo with, rather than let the auto features of more modern cameras in my collection do for me.

One of my many influences. Sleep well sir and thank you

A Stargate!

Cherry Blossom shines on Ektachrome. It's a bit special that film.

I must get the J Screen at some point. Mine still has the standard screen it came with when new.

Jim here, I was using my Olympus OM-1n loaded with Lomo 800 and my OM-2 loaded with Tmax P3200 at the Mersey Meet. It was great to meet you, Martin. 😎

The 8008s is a formidable camera.

Thank you Andrew 😎🥂🙏

Not for me thanks.

I ordered a few rolls and I'm keen to see how it performs

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏

I really enjoyed our walk around Scouseland.
