In fact I have a problem using it when there is a lot of light, so not sure what it was actually designed for. 400 ASA films seem to work better with lots of light, and 100 ASA films seem to prefer low light!Antonio Apariciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670876635143379078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719486201539486143.post-58123870945505256572014-04-11T11:17:03.297+01:002014-04-11T11:17:03.297+01:00Very nice results Bruceexcellent work, nice photos...Very nice results Bruce<br><br>excellent work, nice photos <br><br>especially the last one is greatpetros gkotsisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719486201539486143.post-91468010522489829582014-04-10T21:52:25.374+01:002014-04-10T21:52:25.374+01:00Nice images Bruce.
