Questions from the House

​Several of our viewers who enjoy Rons regular contribution to our website have written in and asked what camera etc he uses. Some of us have the ability to select certain positions and have the ideal cameras to record  the events in a very professional manner - frankly I never succeed. KJ
​P.S. I asked Ron for a picture of himself and camera
​I was using a Canon T90 in those days. All lenses were Canon - I took the opportunity to upgrade from 'Canon' to top of the range Canon lenses as and when finances allowed. The T90 was in my opinion one of the finest 35mm film cameras produced. It was extremely reliable. If we hadn't have 'gone digi' I'd still be using it now. Film was always Kodachrome 64. When K64 was 'good', it was fantastic. Sadly it wasn't good in poor light. When the processing was iffy, slides were, well, iffy..... Sadly as the years went by and Kodak's processing equipment was beginning to knock on in years, K64 would fairly frequently be returned with colour casts of varying degrees. Some of those casts these days are easy to remove during scanning, others are nigh on impossible. Thank you Kodak...... ​
​Pictures of me? Have you a death wish? I have plenty of rear views of me with trains - perhaps friends were trying to tell me something? I have this image to hand - me at Vancouver with a KLM MD11 landing. I have sent you a further seven images through this morning. Regards etc, Ron+
