Analog film photography and cameras

Dibs on all that equipment please, just sent you a Message. Could do with some more tanks and based in Brixton too.

From Hema stores - usually tricky to find in store but it's usually there somewhere!

Seems to be working again after I took the film out - still suspicious though!
I think my main gripe with cheap film is that when you have a shot you're really happy with, it's frustrating that you can't really enlarge it too much due to the grain. In the same way that it's frustrating when you shoot a potentially great photo, only to find it's crap due to poor metering or inaccurate autofocus.

I've had so many shots I'm happy with using cheap film and my t4/mju ii/Olympus XA etc but too many shots lost to lack of control/quality.
I'm sure I'll flip flop on this opinion soon enough though ;)

Olly I would love to take this gear...Ive just started buying already and have a tank and a changing bag.....have jusy been getting bits when have $......I live in Putney and can cycle over this week sometime if cool (can combine stocky sk8 ).....let me know Ta

And just to brag, quite the freebie I picked up! I was taking some photos of my mates at a gallery where they are showing soon and the gallerist gave me this lot after he saw me shooting on film:

I am now slightly scared though as I have some shots in mind for an exhibition using the 160nc and the astia - not shots that you want to fuck up, considering how hard they can be to pick up!

Gear taken by @dashti, thanks for the beer and happy processing :-)

Sorry man,,,when i saw ur post my browser had'nt refreshed so I thought it was new post.

No worries hope you get what you need :)

I'm boring the shit out of friends on Instagram so you lot have to suffer as well. Another holiday snap, Hexar and Ektar 100. Train graveyard, Bolivia.

anyone have an Nikon FM/FM2/FE/FE2 that they want to trade for a Contax TVS III?

This may be a daft offer, I know nothing of SLR's but I have a spare OM10 with a couple of lenses and manual adaptor....

thanks but looking for more of a semi/pro slr.

No probs. As I said, I know nothing. Whats an OM10 then?
