Blurry bullshit but at least there’s a focal range with the retracted lens just nothing was in it. I’ll also add that I think the actual frame I’m getting is a lot larger than what I’m seeing through the viewfinder so that needs to be adjusted. I’ve handed over another roll to get developed at [...]

Mamiyarse!!
After putting 2 rolls of 120 into Jessops for development I then read the following part of the manual: Now let me highlight something: Basically, my 2 rolls of negatives are completely blurry.

Latest Diana Negs To Scan
I’ve still got one roll of Diana 120 negatives to scan which at first glass look pretty bad. The roll didn’t roll tight enough in the camera so I have lots of light leakage over several shots. To compound things I was shooting as a sixteen shot roll without the 16 shot insert (which reduces [...]

Hairy Pentax Negs
First look at my Pentax negatives reveals the zoom lens to be a wee bit iffy with some chromatic and focus aberration, plus it looks like Jessops ran the negatives through a pubic hair factory. Thanks for that. Pictures to follow …

Bugging!
The wee spindle stick (agitator) you use to stir the reel in the tank is missing from the order. I’m sure I can engineer something else to use but I’d just like to say “ARSE!” anyway.

Second Batch of Diana Negs from Jessops
Well, here we go again. Not as bad as the first roll but theres a lot of under exposed shots and a couple of utterly blasted frames, almost completely punched out. They’re fairly dirty in colour but charming with it (I think anyway).

Dirty Diana … (not too bad)
Well, the negs are back and they’re sh-interesting to quote Herbert West from the 1985 classic, ‘Re-animator‘. Lots of light leakage and under-exposure but they’re not as bad as I thought they’d be but I have noticed the imprint of numbers on the negatives which, I presume, are the numbers on the paper backing of [...]

Count Down to Diana-Day
Yes – I’m counting down the hours to getting my hands on the first batch of negs from Jessops. I wonder how bad they are? If they’re not too bad I’ll pop a couple more in when I pick the first roll up. Will they look like this: … or like this (cool, but not [...]
