Got my Ekatr through, will likely slip the Nettar in my pocket for London tomorrow. Hoping its not going to rain!

I thought I'd look at the most expensive camera on ebay, then looked at the most expensive one actually sold. Tried to do it for all categories but it won't!

Dunno about the weather, London in the rain would be fitting though. Have you got a skylight/UV filter? Maybe one from an SLR you could hold in front? Would be interesting to see a couple of shots using it to see if it clears things up much. Cloudy conditions should mean more UV being scattered around which can add a little haze to film photos. I've got a couple but not experimented yet.

Lubitel 166B arrived, looks okay but some fungus threads on the lenses, easy enough to clean by the look of it. It is a bit of a tin can but it all works, even the timer. Also a Praktika BX20 with 50mm f1.8 CZ lens. Looks okay, but winder is jammed and can't get the film chamber open. Focus ring is quite stiff, but even the batteries still work. Auto shutter speed option, though the adjuster knob is really awkward. The focus screen though has a circle split by a diagonal stripe, so is a nice touch. They belonged to a relative's friend or vice versa, so just given away as not wanted.

Yep, that really is wide

Been after one for ages after hearing it mentioned on the FPP podcast. Insanely light and really small. Will be in my pocket tomorrow. Just given it a bit of a clean. Little rough around the edges but lens looks ok. Got any film for the Lubitel?

FPP? Yes got film, not sure I'm going to bother using it though TBH. I haven't used a TLR before but I dunno, I just don't like it.

Film Photography Project. Why don't you like it? Would always be interested.
