Saturday slides...

Post by Fibrous Freddie » Sat May 14, 2022 8:50 am

Includes at least one from the '90's... so hip and modern eh?
Again, no idea about numbers, some idea about type and location in some instances... and I've found a box marked Binbrook! In the days of a roll of 36 and my Chinon with 200mm I was going to share them between Binbook and Alconbury... and had none left for Owl End! What a waste. Oh for today's machine gunning Canon 5DIII and a 150-600 lens.

Try and look through to the end... I've found one I like... hopefully there is one for you. Enjoy (or not).

Anything cheap(ish). I used to source 'out of date' stuff... Some are 100 ASA, some 400 ASA. Some self-processed, some shop. I've found a box of Fujichrome from the early 90's.
I did even borrow a drum and get the chemicals and do some Cibachrome prints in the late '80's!

French Navy Crusader, Mrytle Beach A-10 and the SR71 for me, all nice to see and pure history now.
Cheers.

Very nice!!. Like Paddy, saw the Crusader at Fairford. Nearly invoked the wrath of the Director by going too fast!!.
