Re: Vintage film cameras
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.

Re: Vintage film cameras
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:
http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/cameras...27541-pdt.html 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. |

Re: Vintage film 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.

Re: Vintage film cameras
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:

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

Re: Vintage film cameras
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:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kodak-35mm-...ords=35mm+film Poundland said they had no replacement lined up but they would ask the question.

Re: Vintage film cameras
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 |

Re: Vintage film cameras
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.
