Vintage film cameras

I met a builder from the Wirral one time, he would put a bit of a million quid on stuff like that and just ignore all the ebay pestering, just to ruin their day. Balls!

Up at stupid o'clock coz of a cough and cold. What happened with the bid in the end? I was amazed when my wife brought them in as I had been wanting to try the Lomo kino but got outbid. The Coyote is awesome as well because all engraved with a Wolf howling at the moon. Made of metal so it's pretty weighty. I have some Lomo Lady Grey so I can shoot my own black and white movie and dev it myself.

Looks like Johnny lost to the shill bidder. If you look at his history, all of his 129 bids are with the same seller. I wonder if he ever paid for anything?

[Kenzie]

I looked again at their listings. Every bidder has been outbid by the same user.

I was foolish enough to have a look in West Yorkshire Cameras this evening.
Guess what they had in one of their lens boxes?

22A? Bet it's not in wyc now! Kodak Alaris are bringing back Ektachrome 35mm slide film in Q4 2017. General feel is that film is making a come back and digital sales are slipping.

Yep. A 22A. They had two. Not in as good condition as the one I gave up and a little bit of creep but I thought I'd grab it while I had the chance.
I think you might be right about film coming back. The shop was busy, has expanded and they've got quite a lot of stock.

[Kenzie]

Good price I hope. I have noticed either a lack of cameras in charity shops or if there is some then they are quite expensive. Glad I bought my collection when I did!

Yeah, it was a reasonable price, much cheaper than ebay or Rocky. I've a couple of cameras with films in at the moment so I can try it out. I had a look round the Charity shops here last week but there was nothing. Maybe in a month or two when people start tidying up and chucking things out after Christmas.

[Kenzie]

Spring cleaning, not a bad idea (not that I need any more) Going for a stomp on Saturday so will chuck a couple of cameras in the bag.
