A blast from the past

Very Very cool. Well done.

Can you still get fuel for that?

How cool is that?! Were you actually organized enough to keep track of negatives that old?

Great capture, and a Diana with patina would be worth at least 10 quid!

That's a good question! In general, I never really knew why I got the negatives back from processing - after all, I'd got a nice print, so as a child, negatives normally went in the bin (gasp). But I had an enlargement made of a crop of this negative, so I knew the negative was 'special' and so I still have it (and the other shots on the same roll) because it never got thrown away. Interestingly, the enlargement that was done at the time is now in tatters. But I never guessed as a child that I would print it myself, forty or so years later.

Very cool pictuire and story. Reminds me of when my dad gave me a Smena symbol in the early 70's. I can remember the first shot I took with it, a Sikorsky S-68 on an Army Air Corps airfield, I can't remember where though. Would love to find that film, though I think it's in my mum's cellar somewhere.
