Thanks for the heads up mav but I've got enough to get on with. Why don't you grab them?

Just processed my first film.its a 127 from a VP Twin. The film unspooled while loading so ended up with one usuable image (just about)

Just aqquired this tank of a camera. A work colleague was given it by his nan, but he didn't want a film camera.

Bad luck with the rollfilm fogging. I've just looked up prices for 35mm developing again and it's tempting to try it at home! Might try Jessops again, the last one came back with scratches on the negative, not sure if it was me or them.

Ah, Zenit, my first SLR was a Zenit E. Built like a tank, selenium incident meter with shyte match-needle metering. Is that one M42 mount? There are still plenty of fantastic Super Takumars around for M42.

Update: Jessops say they now send their films off and it take 2 weeks, costs for 6x4 prints are £6.50 for 24exp and £7.50 for 36exp. 2 weeks! WAT?

[Kenzie]

The Jessops in Ipswich still do 1hr processing. I think Snappy Snaps still do as well. Asda is the best deal and I just scan them myself.

The Zenit weighs a tonne. Got a film with an expiry date of 2002 in the case as well. May try it out.

Finally got the phone answered at Asda, process and print is £6 or £7 for 24/36 exp for 1-hour service, take £1 off for the 2-day service. Will give them a try I think.

The film is probably scrap, you could shoot some lomo stuff with it I guess! The Vitomatic had an old Kodak film in it, the results weren't just bad, they were totally pointless.
