Thorens TD-150 Mk2 in hand crafted wood plinth. Linn Basik Plus arm and Ortofon cartridge.

Finally got the tracking weight, sound and action as perfect.
Anyone else find those £25 setup LPs by a sniffy Hifi magazine almost useless? I could not get the stylus to track in several of the test tracks, but with the tracking weight set as per manufacturers notes only, (Ortofon), the records play perfectly.

Canon FD 50mm 1:1.4 S.S.C. lens. "True colours".

No editing apart from crop.
This afternoon in town.
Pity about gross 1960s flats in front of 12th/14th century - or whatever - Palace and church.

Canon FD 50mm 1:1.4 S.S.C. lens.

No editing.
I bought this refurbished FD lens and adapter for EOS on eBay from ex-Canon tech. in Scotland.
I read that the colours given by this lens were such that the lens was regarded as a standard.
