Analog film photography and cameras

And one of my boy and his best friend. Rolleicord on HP5.

I am in the process of fixing up another Voigtländer

..so cool!
Wish I had the patience (and talent) to do stuff like that.. I remember trying to fix the shutter of one of my L35AF's once, I failed, and felt like I needed a holiday afterwards 😅

Hope all goes well with the Voigtländer, looking forward to the first pictures!

Thank you 🙏,
The Voigtländer is ready to test and I took it out yesterday. Not yet finished the roll.

I’ve always been a tinkerer and at times it's even therapeutic to me. What makes it easier is that most of the cameras I took apart so far where super cheap flea market finds and partly broken. So nothing to loose here only wins.
I recently picked up an Olympus Pen FT and the film advance is very rough but I am much more hesitant taking it apart as it works otherwise and was much more expensive. Maybe some day.

Kodak Gold 200 / SMC Pentax 30mm 2.8

Not sure if there are any Leica M6 shooters in here, but there's fantastic news for those of you that have one with a broken meter - as some guys from the Netherlands have apparently built a replacement themselves!

West Yorkshire camera is sadly closing and has a 40% sale on a lot of film cameras and film gear:

Sad, but they were so consistently rude and snobby whenever I dealt with them that me and my mates all refused to buy anything from them. Lol.

My sadness was actually a presumption, I'd never heard of them before today haha.

Portra 400 / SMC 30mm 2.8

They carried lots of cameras, and were a relatively helpful shop to have around.
I shouldn’t celebrate their demise I guess.

But they were cunty.
