Just got a second hand MSI 14 inch laptop, fairly new, to use primarily for flipping and editing black and white film negatives.
I want to do a clean Linux install with darktable (with addons), GIMP, some kind of distribution software and a text editor. Also email and a web browser.
First time using a MSI (13 gen i3-1315U, 8 GB RAM, 500GB SSD and 128 MB Intel UHD Graphics)
Any suggestions?
Any ideas?
Probably 8mm, didn’t open.
Found this at a thrift shop today. Didn’t work, but I cleaned (🙄) the lens and deoxidised the contacts. Slight decolorisation on the selenium cell, but now it reacts. Have no idea how to read it yet and if it is correct tho😅
Am shooting and developing b/w film on a fm2 and would like to revisit some shots with something different.
Looked on eBay and I found some Horseman cameras that I really liked the look of. However there are several postings and I kinda get confused with the various models.
Would like to have something portable (backpack) and with film I can use my existing developing can with (2x135).
Anyone know this brand that can give some insight?
It has Nikon mounts
I have an FM2N
A pre ai Nikkor 35mm PC shift lens.
Ai Nikkor 50mm 1.4
Tamron 35-70 macro zoom.
Never used bellows before, any pointers?
Have seen some inquiries about the roads here in Norway. This is the road administration app (English lyrics included 😁) and it can help you plan your route and have road by road information.
Let’s go for an accident free summer 🤗
My mother bought this new in 1984, her first and only SLR. Have been in storage for many years, but I took it for a walk and brought the cup that was bought on the hike we took in Jotunheimen (Norway) that same year. Nikon FG-20 w/ Tamron 35-70 macro.
I played a rather fun zombie game on one of the early Xbox consoles. You played a funny looking zombie wearing a blazer and a hat, and your mission was to turn everybody into zombies. Art style was cartoonish with a sci-fi element. Into the game, you could detach your hand and it crawled through narrow slots and on walls and ceilings. You could also toss your head like an explosive gas bowling ball for area effects.
A quite hilarious game, but I can’t remember what it was called. On PC now, so if it’s available on Steam, I’m ready for some nostalgia.
Any one know?
(1) Budget, country, and currency:
Norway, NOK. Budget around NOK 3000

Hi all!
(Dumb bot deleted my long and funny letter to you all😑, so here I go again)
Learned photography from my deceased father back in the 80’s and recently picked up a «proper» camera again. Developed the first film in almost twenty years and had a blast doing it.
Have always been a «Nikon» guy and my dream camera back when was the FM. However, we weren’t meant to be and I got hold of an excellent, but used FM2 that I later sold at university in England in favour of a very early Canon digital camera (can’t remember the name, but it was the size of a ten pack of computer disks (not the floppies)).
Borrowed a FG-20, but for me it isn’t the same as the FM2.
As you can see from the form, I got two gems (lenses) to play with.
There are also on the website an old but decent looking FM and a couple of FM2’s (one modified to half frame for police use 😅)
REALLY wanted that FM back in the day, but have more experience with the FM2.
So: Considering the lenses I just bought, should I go back to the FM2 or should I chase the beautiful blunt object of my past desires as the price difference is almost non-existent?
