I guess they haven't really studied photography or read the manual. If they had them they would have known straight away what the problem was.

Nope. No goodies at all. Looked around for old film cameras in the markets but never saw anything this time around.

I think the whole film camera market has changed, I don't find many decent slr type cameras in charity shops so much, they all go online or are sold to staff before they hit the shelf. More people have been turned on to film shooting in the last year. Not that I need any more of course! Speaking of which, I have deleted all saved searches and sellers, and only a few rolls of film remain. I have got an Olympus 35-105 coming as I wasn't able to repair the previous one. I'm aiming to make it a year of shooting and not buying so much! I've seen a roll of the new Kodak E100 slide film, but at £13-£18 a roll its a hell of a luxury.

The 18mm lens that i bought for my Pentax 110 failed to arrive. The seller made some enquiries with royal mail and they admitted to driving over the parcel. Such incompetence.
A refund is on the way.
In other news i picked up a mk2 flash for the 110 for a fiver.

No way! That's a shame, they aren't easy to come by either. I found a shutter release button for a Ricoh Auto Half that I had kicking around, meter is dead but spring drive works. I basically have 1/30 and f2.8/5.6/11/22 to play with.

Hi Yoko, glad you made it, good trip?

I see the camera prices have rocketed in the run up to Christmas again. If I have time next year I'm planning on fixing up some of the cameras I've bought or been given to sell on, and round up some of the ones I don't really need (zero? er...) and have a bit of a beano come next December. I think the days of scoring easily on ebay are gone, real luck needed to find something that few other people find, and it's been slim pickings on Gumtree lately as well. I've got a ton of bits to flog as well, the odds and ends that come with other stuff. I've got a load of little flash bulbs, am half tempted to get a flash gun to use them as they're worth nothing really, but it'd mean fiddly guide number calculations.

I've got quiet a few flash bulb too, mostly use them for display in certain cameras. The cost of the battery and capacitor(if needed) outweigh the Ben so they won't get used. The main problem I keep running into is that I have so many cameras that I can't decide what to take with me, so instead of having one and enjoy using it, I end up taking two or three or four and end up hopping between them and not really enjoying them.
