- HP5 at 1600 for night street in Leith, push it or buy Delta 3200?
Back when we did this with Tri-X at 1600 under sodium lights nobody called it a "look". It was just the only way to get the shot, and we were grateful for it. Grain like golf balls, blocked…
Post #6, in Film - Boot sale Super Takumar 35mm... with a cobweb inside. Hopeless?
Once it's clean, leave it in a sunny window with both caps off for a few days. UV kills what's left, or at least stops it. Old trick, works. We used to do it with Nikkors in the 80s, there was a…

Half of us started on a Brownie our dad handed us, not a $40 prop.
