Doh!
Having also woken up my Fujifilm X10 for the first time in years (battery needed a full recharge) I thought it had a fault with the sensor or top of the LCD screen!
This Idiot then realised the line was in fact the edge of the screen protector I had put on the back when bought it originally 🙄📷

Ooops!
Rollei does need fresh batteries
🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋😮😕🙄😆

Black tape is to cover back window to avoid light leakage.
About to use black changing bag to load film.
Also found that the 3x 40.5mm filters I got for the Rollei LED hood are right size. Just need to find a way to attach to the Kodak lens

Project #126-135mm
Time to awaken my 54 year old Instamatic camera out of it's 40 year sleep!
Just received the 3D printed Cassette converter to take 35mm Film. [24exp recommended]
Will have some fun & see what develops 😁😆

Don't have any First borns or Grannies to sell!
Think I sold my Soul years ago!
Still have both of my Kidneys & would like to keep at least one of them. So, not sure where to get the other 9.

5 tokens? 😮
How much were the tokens in $£€¥?
(or Bitcoins)

Rob Daw @robndaw.bsky.social · Aug 17

My D4s hadn't been out in a year, again looking for CYs.
I'm down on the south coast next weekend. So will be looking for them there 🤞

Rob Daw @robndaw.bsky.social · Aug 17

I was looking for Clouded Yellows, so took the D4s & 200-500mm for the faster frame rate if they were very mobile. Had the D810 with the 70-180mm for any close ups.
No CY seen, but this was my only Spotted Flycatcher I've seen this year.
