Vintage film cameras

[Kenzie]

Well I used some brake cleaner on the lever and managed to get some on the inside of the lens. Went back to it tonight and it seems to be working.

Picked up one of these while at Currys for all of 97p trying to separate my new laptop from the epsilon semi-moron who was apparently designated to sell computers:

All three legs are adjustable, the idea is you leave it on the camera for when you need it. Really I got it for my daughter's P&S digi as something for her to have a go with, as she can't keep her hands off my proper tripod. It's nifty though and would also make an ideal display stand; I have my Certo and Contessa on the cabinet in the dining room, although they are free-standing cameras.

Nifty looking thing. I have a small magnetic Gorilla Pod to use. Quite chuffed with my MTL50 bundle now the 50mm is working. Got a Tweet back from Poundland confirming discontinuation of Agfa Vista.

Pretty decent package for anyone in the NE Manchester area

Managed to get hold of 25 rolls of AV 200. After the messages back from Poundland I would suggest buying some if you can find it. On another note, my great Aunt spotted this in a charity shop and is going to pick it up for me tomorrow:

Yeah Sheffield got nothing, need to keep looking. Nice!

What's the next best cheap film option after the Poundland stuff is gone? Fujicolour?

[Kenzie]

You can three roll multipacks of Fuji C200 for about £8. Its basically the same stuff as AV200. Fuji X-Tra 400 is about £12 for three rolls. Or there is this:

Poundland said they had no replacement lined up but they would ask the question.

[yokohama]

The Kodak is OK. I've used that before. I like the Fuji Superia too but it's a bit more expensive.
Can't understand why poundland are not restocking unless it's an issue with suppliers or price. It obviously sells well

[Kenzie]

Hope they do bring it back. It will dent the comeback film photography is making as it makes it so much more affordable and accessible. Think I said something like that in my message to them.
