Vintage film cameras

No worries, I had uploaded the pics I had of the repair to Flickr but there were no captions and it turned out the order didn't make a lot of sense, so I tidied it up. Having a good weekend up there?

It was only a one night thing, a trial run for a future planned trip. Working out what we need, don't need etc.

I put an order in for the 127 film slitter. It wasn't cheap but no more than three or four store bought 127 rolls. At least this way I can get any film stock I want when I want. Plus I can make good use of my Yashica 44A and Baby Ikonta which don't get used much because of the cost per shot.

When are you off to Jockland? Check this out, maybe half way there, it's around 4 hours to Glasgow from here, prob about the same to Edinburgh

It won't be until next year or whenever this pandemic calms down. We have the destinations pretty much sorted, just got to iron out accommodation and routes.

I've decided to move on a few duplicates and unused parts of my collection. Anyone interested before I do? So far Pentax ME Super with 50mm f1.7, maybe a Pentax MX and lens, Olympus OM10 body, likely to be a Minolta XG-M and X300 (black paint model) Probably a Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim and its Superheadz clone. Likely to be a few more once I go through them this weekend. I have also found a pair of Canon FD to M42 adapters, three pentax to M42 adapters (no keys).

I'd bag a PK/M42 adapter!

[Kenzie]

Unbranded or genuine Pentax?

[johnnyrod]

Dealer's choice! No rush, I still have the expired film to send you. I've got some random bits myself, mainly filters I think, I'm not sure people use them any more, except maybe UV but they're not, they're coloured ones for SLR-sized lenses. Speaking of filters, I'm trying out a yellow one on the Super Fujica as it has B&W film, see if I notice a difference.

I'll sort it out when I find something suitable to post it in. My rummaging also turned up a Vöigtlander VF135 rangefinder and a manual. Last eBay listings sold for between £60-£90. I might save up and put it towards a Leica. I found a load of lenses but they aren't worth listing, so will be donated. I did also find a Zeiss Tenax but the shutter is sticky, cannot be bothered to fix it.
