I've got the V. It's great. ICE works on C41 B&W films btw. Strongly recommend you get 3rd party scanning software like silverfast (hideous interface, costs a bit, but once you get used to it, it kicks the pants off the Nikon software). Silverfast has a dust/scratch removal tool which works with...

Olympus XA, Leica M2, Plaubel Makina 67...

Sod the SLR, get a rangefinder..

try sendean cameras?

Damn right - love it or loathe it, at least they have intellectual content...

Now where did I leave my copy of society must be defended......

Commiserations - my visacustic died a couple of weeks back also - it powers up & lamp is ok but no motor action at all. Need to perform surgery on it, but out here in the West Indies donor parts are going to be a serious problem... good luck.

Baudrillard did not exist.

I find these kind of sales sad also. Years back I bought a projector from a junk shop in london (very early Kodak 16mm from the 20's I think). As I was about to leave, they guy handed me a plastic carrier bag full of loose film, which "came with the projector". I took a look at it later an...
