How is Spain by the way? Saw your add on FB. Yoko, have you shot with the XA3 yet?

Back now, Spain was hard work. My Spanish is getting better though, but I do find myself starting conversations I can't finish. Hopefully one more trip in Feb will do it and the old man will come back to Blighty with me, probably for the last time. He's 84 now, I doubt he'll die any time soon but his days of solo adventuring are over I think.

The XA3 fits nicely in my leathers when I'm out on the bike. I've shot about half a roll but haven't used it since September. Luckily, it was in my left hand pocket when the bike went down on the right.

Have you managed to fix your bike then? I haven't ridden mine since at least August. Won't start it again until I need to.

Just about; the crash bungs saved it. I only lost the right mirror, right bung and brake pedal. Fortunately it's a naked so no plastics to break. I've replaced the mirrors and bungs and removed the brake pedal but not put the new one on yet. MOT is next month so I need to finish it off

Going to take a chance on this: 371847807213 have found that by searching by shutter name or lens name turns up quite a bit. Looking at this one, it seems to be a Bessa.

You're picking up lots of folders these days. I hope the price stays reasonable.
Oh, got another email from Rocky confirming payment and saying items would be dispatched asap.

Kenzie · 30-01-17, 08:58 PM

Yeah, I got the same. Hoping it arrives quickly! Medium format size negs and able to fit in your pocket? What more do you want?!

johnnyrod · 30-01-17, 09:20 PM

You won't believe what I found just now, and yes I'm getting them both:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Ca...-/282340673909
Both look to be for my Certo. The latter I only found by checking the other items of the seller of the former, out of mindless optimism, and that while these things should be together, they are easily separated and not easily recognised. Am actually excited.

Kenzie · 30-01-17, 09:27 PM

Nice find there. Are you going to let the auction run? Tempted to see if I can find another shutter and lens to use on my Certo. Do you think that is possible? If so, what would fit?

Scrap that, found a decent size hole in the bellows, probably what caused my streaking.
