they seem a decent bunch, like most forums it's not so active I think as it was, but if you search a bit or read threads then it's surprising what amateurs know.

Bought a 3d printed 35mm to 120 film adapter. Allows me to use 35mm film easily in a medium camera to try out sprocket photography. Just waiting for a 120 spool to arrive and will give it a go.

I may have gone overboard at the car boot this morning. Picked up a Yaschica Lynx 1000, a Kodak Brownie 620D and a Canon AE-1.

Found a National PB3 flash in mint condition, not sure if it works but have also got some bulbs for it. Mounted on a Vito B:

Nice, am off to look at a Pentax K2 tomorrow, so fingers crossed it isn't knackered or too expensive!

Re: Vintage film cameras
 

Did you get the K2?

Yep, £20. The chap had a couple of box box cameras, an MV-1 and a Praktika MTL3, plus a busted Ensign 6x9 folder (struts broken and God knows what else), and a range of odds and sods including a winder for filling your own 35mm canisters. Most of it was a bit rough but the K2 and the MTL3 looked good. The latter is hardly a classic and I don't really like stop-down metering FWIW, plus the ribbing the missus was likely to give me over yet another camera! The K2 looks good though, outside needs a bit of a clean, but came with a case and a skylight filter in lieu of a lens cap, even the batteries are still good (though I need to check they aren't leaking yet).

BOX! Yep I think I saw one of those yesterday, to be honest I was intent on the K2 and didn't think of much else! Gave it a clean last night, all good though the mirror brake foam is turning to mush as with any old Pentaxes, I have to replace this on my Super A as well. It has a 50mm F1.2 Pentax lens, but the front half of it seems to wobble a bit, need to investigate what I can do about it. Still not finished the film in the Vitomatic so will try to fix those things before trying it out.

Does the guy sell on ebay?

Hey, that's my old camera!

Well I had one like that :p

Took it on my first school trip, think I ruined the film by opening it, doh :scratch:
