I think the low stock and the higher prices are due to the pandemic. Higher demand with more people shooting film and supply is down because of lockdowns and reduced output from the manufacturers. My local camera shop is having trouble getting new film stock. Getting hold of chemicals for processing film isn't easy either.

Had to add another display cabinet, most of these have been tucked away in storage tubs. I could probably for more inside. I did pick up a Canon EOD 650 but the 50 1.8 needs attention, got a roll of Kodachrome 64 too.

Wow, that's a pretty good collection. You did well there.

The K1000 may be repairable but it will need a new prism and a bit of a service a bond the battery chamber is completely missing. The LT-1 works but has an iffy power switch, the two OM2sp cameras are working but one of them has an issue where it won't latch properly if wound too fast. The ME Super also works fine. You got any spares JR? I did see a stand covered in cameras but they were all plastic point and shoots.

Not for SLRs i don't think. Good haul there, what lens is on the MX?

Kenzie · 19-04-21, 06:19 AM

Sadly not an MX, its an ME Super. Its got a 50mm f1.7.

A few from the Minolta Himatic SD pointn'shoot. Plying around with it on a winter walk but the lens seems half decent.
A strange hue to the exposures but that's probably down to the 1995 film expiry date

Nice. I quite like playing around with expired film, you never know what you are going to get.

Got a film back from the Yashica FX-D today, I'll post a few shots later but it seems to be working properly, which means I can sell the other one I have. Nice camera though. Very user friendly.
Finished the roll of HP5 in the OM4 so I'll try to develop that sometime this week. Loaded a roll of 10 year expired Fuji Reala into a Nikon FM, try that one out next.
