Analog film photography and cameras

Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for but I've got a Ricoh RZ-770 (first made in 1990 I believe) you can have for a tenner plus postage if you're interested? I've not used it in a while but was totally functional last time I did.

I've got olympus mju1 with some fault too.
Dm for the details if you are interested.

I'm in Fife and have either a Rolleicord VB or Bronica ETRSi you can borrow. 1 hour drive from Edinburgh @BigH

Another option would be Ffordes outside Inverness who have a 645J body for £130

Cheapest place to get pelicase and foam?

eBay secondhand, and then clean and replace the o-rings

Nikon FE, Delta 400

yes

These are awesome!

Nice portrait!

I just seen this, could have had my Bronica.

So ilfords big reveal was just a cut down version of their 5x4? Or am i missing something

It’s Orthochromatic film. I’ve not used the 5x4 version but I imagine it lightens blues and darkens reds.

Kinda disappointing considering the build up for what is a niche product

It's just a shame that @SuperSalad wasn't around to take a picture:

First roll of film taken on the Olympus 35rc I bought on eBay didn't come out how I'd hoped. I guess it wasn't winding on properly, loads came out weirdly double exposed. I quite like some of them but not what I was after really! Will put another roll through and see if my luck is any better.

Anyone got suggestions for places to get film processed and digitalised? Both colour and black and white. Spent an extra £3 to get that film scanned at jessops and the "high res" images are less than 1mb each. Utterly shit.

Also, years ago my uncle gave me an Olympus OM2 with a mad macro lens that he used for dental photography (he was a dentist, not a pervert (as far as I know)). I opened it up for the first time in years yesterday and found a roll of XP2 in it. I was hoping it'd be full of vintage gob shots but I guess I must have put a test roll through the camera and forgot about it. I guess I hadn't quite nailed the focus but I kind of like some of them!

really enjoy 1st one

Jessops are generally bad - they don’t properly maintain the chems in their mini labs and the scans are only good enough for 6x4 prints.

For C41, Filmdev are cheap. Their scanning will be a whole let better than Jessops, but the more picky of us have issues with it.
AG Photographic are more expensive for C41 but generally have better quality scans.

For B&W ( and E6), Palm Labs every time who are my favourite lab. Turn around times can be slower than other though

The last two are local to me though - there should be good labs in London that others can recommend

Thanks for the recommendation! Should have mentioned that I'm based in Leeds. There's at least one place up here that does both but it's really pricey.

Is the first one by the selfridges carpark in Birmingham?

Edit, I have just read through more of the thread and I assume you are! I like seeing decent shots of my home town!
