Vintage film cameras

There is one in the town where my wife works and they normally have a good selection. Its where your XA came from.

Yoko when you come to sell your stuff, try adding international postage, I just found out the other day it's pretty easy. There is a postage estimator tool, but you could just use the Royal mail site, up to 2kg and £20 compensation is a flat £5.60 for the whole world. The Pentacon case that came with the camera bag has just sold to a guy in Spain today, and it's not like it's the only one on ebay. Just be careful about the amount of compensation insurance as I forgot this a few times in the past and just had to take the hit on the extra postage cost (it was UK). Anyway stuff like the MX winder needs a wide audience to find a buyer, hence i thought I'd mention it.

Re. ebay in Spain, I think this is a newish area for them, I'm seeing more ads from there, and from the pricing etc. it looks like a seller's market. I could be totally wrong, just the way I see it.

Saw a mention from a camera skin seller refusing to ship to Spain due to the large amount of packages going missing, same issue with Italy apparently. I haven't sold on eBay in years. If it's in the EU I don't think you have to put customs info on, worldwide will need a declaration.

That's right, the shipping label prints from Paypal instead of Ebay but from that end it's pretty easy - it also prints a proforma proof of postage (CoP). I also sold one of the wife's things to someone in Norway which is non-EU and it also printed the customs declaration for me. TBH if it goes missing then I get my money back and that's all I'm after, i hope it doesn't but it's beyond my control. I think you can make an exclusion list of countries too, as part of the listing, and it just won't show up there. Anyhoo fiver for the case, so a free bag and a pint of ale!

I'm still a little unsure about shipping abroad on ebay. I know it opens up the market but there's more scope for things to go wrong. The winder should sell OK. Seems there's not many about and it's already got a couple of bids on it

Out shooting with Perkeo and 620 Junior on the coast. Hp5 and ektar.
Not much about in the charity shops. Found a Kodak Brownie Cresta 3 with flash and it still had a film in it. Found a sealed diy tlr kit in cash converters for 3.99 so grabbed it.

Ends mid-afternoon tomorrow so won't be able to snipe it if someone else has a go

[Kenzie]

Good find that. Shame I didn't spot it first! Everyone had a good weekend?

Finally finished the roll in the Konica, and got one shot left on the Certo. I know what I want to use it on, need to have some evening sunshine for it so hopefully this week, then 4 rolls to send off for printing. Hopefully the Contessa will be here soon, I'm actually pretty excited in case you can't tell!
