Yeah, some of the older cameras taking Mercury batteries are a pain. The Ricoh came with something in it, Not sure what but it's not alkaline. T he Oly 35ed is full of LR44s and silver foil and I bought a few hearing aid batteries for the SRTs

Did you decide what your were going to do with the RC?

yokohama · 14-04-17, 06:41 PM

Not decided yet but they are going for daft prices on ebay. I might put a film through it just to see. Will also look at what the Ricoh produces as it's pretty much the same kind of camera, lens and operation.

Just seen a picture of Shambles in York. Looks like it dropped out of Harry Potter!

Came across a coupe of cheap sources of film. This one in Germany, shipping looks like around 4 Euros for a 3-pack of 120 (as a guide)

This one is UK but it looks really cheap

Not bad prices, will keep them in mind. The car boot yielded a Zenit EM with Helios 44M, will keep the lens and donate the body (unless you lot want it?) a Kodak Brownie 44 with 127 film loaded and an Olympus mju ii Zoom 80 for £2. Seems to work ok and just needs a clean.

Finished off the film in the ME Super and took a few with the Hi-Matic. Nothing of major interest while out walking.

Nice if you want a 35mm RF to point at things

Went for a longer walk home after dropping my dad off this evening, took some pics on my phone, will look them over later. I don't have anything with film in it just now. Can't seem to make the phone pics look like 50mm pics even by standing back and zooming in. Did take a few square ones though!

6x6? What were you shooting? Nice looking camera but a little bit out of the way. Anyone will else been shooting this weekend?

I took a handful this afternoon. Trying out XP2 in the X500. Also put a film into the Fujica ST705 but haven't christened that yet.
