Don't use soup.

But surely your man Lupin could whip up a pot of hearty soup in a trice that would set that film a-developing as well as provide a delicious feast I'll be bound! Either that or the man's an imposter, a bounder, and a cad, Sir!!

Ah , Colonel, good to hear from you. I fear Lupin leaves all the cooking to our French cook, Madame Pont. She has yet to master the joys of Brown Windsor, but she does do a fine onion broth.

I just bought an Angenieux 35-70 lens. It's fun to work with! I haven't souped any of the film yet but from what I saw (through the VF) so far, it seems very good :)

 

Congratulations! I have both the 35-70 and the 70-210 Angenieux zooms, as well as the 45-90, all for my R6.2 and R9. They are great lenses. However, be aware that the Achilles' heel of the 35-70 is flare! Otherwise, a great lens. Enjoy!

A 3 gallon tank of Microphen, well aged after a few dozen rolls/sheets was very reminiscent of ox tail soup, :D

Onion broth, yer say? I remember old Shaggy Dawkins from the Officer's Mess in Nagpur being partial to a spot of onion broth - swore blind that it was a universal panacea. Did the blighter no good though because in the end he was shot in the Dardanelles.

 

But anyway, this man Lupin of yours sounds like he's in need of a damn - good - thrashing! Meh, that'll get the malingerer skivying in the canteen, you mark my words.

 

But back to the matter in hand, what? These Angenieux whatsits, are they some sort of French lens or uncommon Belgian runner beans?

Very fine lens, a bit soft in the corners but good contrast and resolution otherwise if memory serves, even in macro mode. I preferred the last Vario-Elmar for its significantly shorter size but i miss the larger aperture of the Angénieux when i don't bring primes in the bag.
