Yep, all appears OK, the battery check needle sits between the 1/125 and 1/500 markers (1/125 and beyond is good according to the manual).

As for the type of battery, I'm using one of these

I'm using a (ebay sourced) 6v 4LR43 battery in my recently acquired GT - the first film came back OK, albeit maybe slightly underexposed so, I've allowed for this with film #2 which is currently away being developed.

I'm in Aylesbury and suspected you wouldn't be round the corner - I'll pass, thanks.

@Double_J where are you based, possibly interested in the Miche rear wheel?

Which version of the Konstruktor are you selling? The original, or the later version with pc socket?

As it was me that bought the saddle, I like to add that it was a pleasure doing business with @Shroom and I wouldn't hesitate trading with him again, should the occasion arise :)

Dibs on saddle pending reply to PM

Last year I omitted to take my registration form when registering at Exel, fortunately I had photo ID with me and they kindly printed off a new form.

I was out shooting film over the weekend, but took my Fuji X-E1+35mm 1.4 along for the ride

Playing with composition...

@mi7rennie
Although they can take a fortnight or so to turn round, I can recommend snapsphotoservices for developing, it's where I send my 120 and any 35mm film that my local Boots won't touch! Snaps also sell film (as do Boots), and I've also bought from Lomography in the past (don't forget the carriage charge on small orders), it's also worth looking in Poundland for cheap film such as Agfa Vista 200

A with kboy, I'd be intrigued to know more about the first image?

@gav Ha, not sure if you've seen mine from the day a bit further up the thread, but you must have been standing next to me for the women's race :)

@photoben thanks for comment :)

A rare posting from me, hopefully no-one will mind a few shots of World Cup cyclocross racers visiting Milton Keynes! All taken with a Fuji X-E1 + XF18-55mm zoom

I used 3rd party grips on a couple of Canon dSLRs in the past, they appeared to be direct copies of the OEM part and I never had an issue with either of them - I'd happily go that route again should the need arise in the future.

Go with what @well_is_it says, the std zoom is fabulous, and definitely a cut above the usual kit zooms. Since buying my X-E1 + 18-55, I've added the 35mm purely for its reputation but, tbh, if I was going somewhere and had only one lens to take, I would chose the versatility of the zoom everytime.

@tina.kino The 'electronic' Rolliflexes are known to have one or two issues, but I seem to have got a good one, and am very happy with the images it produces, especially with the 50mm fitted.
Thanks for the welcome :)

First post in this thread (be nice, please) - I rediscovered analogue photography about 18 months ago, and now have a few 35mm and 120 cameras in the cupboard, mostly of the 'lomo' variety. This, though, was taken with a Rollieflex SL35 E (35mm) camera + Rollei 50mm 1.8 lens, using Lomo Lady Grey 400 film

Hope you don't mind input from a X-E1 (and X10) owner, but for a general walk around/travelling lens, I don't think you'll go far wrong with the standard 18-55 f/2.8-4 zoom. I own both it and the 35mm 1.4, the 35 is undoubtedly a stunning lens, but can be a little tight (imho) for general use, whilst the zoom still produces fabulous images, and just gives you that extra bit of versatility.

Possibly not, but then again Wiggins would probably never be allowed to get away in the first place.
