I had a 'Tourist Trip ' to LONDON by train from BRENTWOOD Essex -- It cost me about 7 quids Not LOADS OF $$$$ as the Yanks have to pay Ha Ha ! ANYWAY -- on my 1978 HASSELBLAD 500CM I took a couple of B&W before the Film Back JAMMED so can show those snaps here -- outdated FOMAPAN 100 processed in home-made PYROCAT HD staining developer. LENS was the 80mm f2.8 CT Planar T* . I took COLOUR on another back by the way --- PILOT on BATTLE of BRITAIN MEMORIAL  500CM Fomapan 100 01 by Peter Elgar, on Flickr The usual TOURIST SHOT of ELIZABETH TOWER and Budecca Chariot  500CM Fomapan 100 02 by Peter Elgar, on Flickr |

I'd just been thinking "Haven't seen Pete lately, wonder where he is?", and up you pop. They look alright to me!

Some nice contrast on that film. Not bad for 2012 expired, I did have to push it a bit in curves which is why the sky is blocked up and grainy. A yellow or orange filter would have been nice, the in ability to use a filter is the only thing I can criticise the XA on but then if it had a filter thread it would be bigger so that would be missing the point. |

I agree, Keith. The XA is a great camera (likewise, the XA2). I don't use mine nearly enough. 
Re- the filter problem: how about using a yellow or orange tinted one of these?   |
