Cool Panzers.
Did the shots you took with the X700 come out OK?

Kind of....

I would say that the focus and the shutter were pretty spot on with the Perkeo.

Might have a light leak on the 500G though

I see what you mean. That does look like a shutter curtain problem.
Nice colour rendition on those Perkeo shots.
The seals on the Ricoh are a pain to do, a full surround job. I found these useful for the foam sizes and layout.

Thanks for the heads up. I have some foam here so will give it a go. Will likely have to do the the other Ricoh as well.

I've some that need doing too, including the MG1, but will probably wait until I get round to putting a film in them.

I have put the 500G somewhere so will fix it when I can find it! Got some self adhesive foam that I can use. The second link you posted up has measurements on which is helpful.

The measurements helped. Trickiest bit is going around the viewfinder window.
I flipped the lid off a Himatic 9 last night and cleaned out a murky rangefinder. I think that's next in the film queue.

Going to have to re-seal the 500G, pretty poor job and no wonder it leaks! Don't think I did this one. Have ordered some 1mm open cell foam.

A fairly glowing review of the Poundland/Agfa film on casualphotofile https://www.casualphotophile.com/201...-film-profile/
Along with a worrying comment that Poundland are going to stop stocking it.

I might have to get a few more rolls in!

We still sell plenty of film in Jessops. It won't be as cheap as Poundland though
