I have a PCB layout for an electronics project which I had prepared in January I think that I *still* haven't done anything with because I just haven't had any time. (Partly my own seasonal prioritising; Summer is for getting out there with camera in hand to see as much of the world as possible, Winter is for poring over dead bits of computer - at least that's what I'm trying to convince myself :-).) The offer of film was partly because it's so damn hard to get hold of professional film these days. It's a lot easier in London than out here in the provinces I think, but while it's certainly not yet unobtainium going shopping for a roll of, say, TMax 400 round here is an exercise in hope over expectation. My wife has had to come to terms with the house not only being full of computer 'junk', but the fridge also being full of rolls of film because I buy in bulk :-). Anyway, I fully understand; if you do ever find the time to take those shots, the offer is always open. I had a hunch you'd say that ;-). Thanks very much for the offer - I might just take you up on that! It's a Zorki 1b with the 'standard' Industar 50mm lens; not particularly rare, but as my first foray into rangefinders (and bottom-loaders for that matter) I didn't want something I'd be too scared to use!
