Pictures From Sweden

Nikon FM, Nikon 80-200mm f4, Fuji superia 200

I Recently had a spare half day in Sweden so I took the camera out and explored some of the islands around Göteborg. These island are quite stunning and I was blessed with plenty of the famous Scandinavian light. I took a ferry out to an island called Donso, which is to the south. The islands are very quiet many don't even have roads this one has a small nature reserve so I took a stroll round here.

My Birthday presant, a 35mm Scanner

As it was my birthday last month I decided to treat my self to a dedicated 35mm scanner. after a bit of rummaging around and realising I cant afford a Nikon Coolscan V I found a Plustec 7300 which fitted the bill perfectly. I got mine from Campkins Cameras in Cambridge where I get most of my stuff from. Its a proper camera shop staffed by people who know what they are talking about and while their prices aren't the cheapest they are competitive and you always get what you need with good service, worth paying for to me.

Flash Gun Fun

This weekends task was a fairly simple one, in the box of stuff there was a few old flash guns. 3 were still in there boxes and now work perfectly, 1 was loose and had some battery acid damage to the battery cover. This is a Sunpak auto 321 model and is quite compact but well jointed so it can be used to bounce the flash in just about any direction. This could be quite a useful tool as the other flashes are either really big or really small! so I set about trying to restore it.
