Re: Vintage film cameras
Just about surviving. Every day seems like groundhog day. Getting my first jab next week.
I went out last weekend and got into the mid 20s on a roll of HP5. Using the OM4 so I pushed it a stop and experimented with the spot metering and 1.4 lens at night. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Glad to hear you are coping. Can't wait for June all going well! Want to visit so many places, including York.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Not dead yet! Been running around doing nothing very interesting, but after this weekend (mother's day) all the birthdays etc. are behind me for a while. Taken no pictures in ages. Perused t'bay a few times, there is a lovely Contessa 35 on there right now, immaculate, will go for a good price I think. If I didn't have one I'd be all over that. I'm lacking any sort of inspiration or motivation at the moment.
The Seagull looks good, they're said to have good lenses I think? |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Pretty sharp tbh, a very underrated camera. People seems to bemoan the build quality but all of mine have been fine (apart from the WWSC120 needing a service)

Re: Vintage film cameras
Just like buses ... after a lean period, a charity shop in town has an X700 and an OM1 in the window. Have to hope they are both still there when it reopens.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Did you see a price tag? That sucks that you can't get to them. Bike is all set for the year and Angles fitted.

Re: Vintage film cameras
No prices unfortunately. Some lenses as well, I think. Looks like I'll have to wait.
My bike needs an MOT in the next couple of weeks and then tax it for April. Need to do an oil and coolant change before then too, |

Re: Vintage film cameras
I need to do an oil change, probably brake fluid and coolant too.

Re: Vintage film cameras
I think the shops open again on the 12th April don't they? I bet you'll be waiting on the door. I'm looking forward to the csr boot sales starting up again.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Managed to pick up this little gem, came with lens cap, case and strap. A little bit of fungus in the lens but it cleaned up nicely. I also picked up a ratty Minolta XG7 with a 28mm f2.8.
