Vintage film cameras

I wouldn't feel guilty, sometimes you just have to treat yourself. So you were pretty much chasing a problem that wasn't there then?

Not all?? How many missing?

I think 3 or 4 and a couple of lenses are not in the pics.
It is SLR heavy. Quite a few came in bundles, either together or with a lens I wanted.
Selling the MX winder, a few unwanted lenses, teleconverters and flashes, a few Minoltas, the P30, and 2 are going to China.

Nothing wrong with buying your own birthday present Johnny. That way, you get something you want and that you'll use.

Reskinned the XD5 this morning. Johnny, I followed the technique you linked - I don't have a lens tool but used a couple of thickish pins instead and managed to remove the timer switch.
It looks OK in blue.
There's foam on the back of the film door. I added another strip to sit opposite this on the camera body. I'll put another film through but if it still leaks light, I'll be tempted to reach for a hammer.

Looking good there Yoko, where did you get the kit from? Just won a job lot with a Kodak Hawkeye flash in plus three others. The two 127 Brownies will get donated unless anyone wants them for sprocket photography?

The cover kit came from this guy.

I also bought light seal foam too. In fact these pre-cut strips have been an absolute godsend.

Looks good. I keep getting you two mixed up when reading posts! It stems back form the dial-up days when time was money so I tend to skim a bit too quick, apologies! Glad you got there in the end anyway.

Kenzie, the box camera in the charity shop is a Rex Coronet I think. Dunno if it works but the shutter fires.

Hi Yoko, thanks for looking but I think I'll pass. Quite like the look of that Navy Blue. Going charity shop rummaging tomorrow. Fingers crossed for a good find!

I did the rounds of our charity shops today but there was nothing.
