Ha Arundel is about 10 mins from my folks house, beautiful town, you can tell why Turner was so fond of it. Also I never knew that camera centre was there, I think I'll pop down now and check it out.
Subsist, I'll ask about Rollei's for you if you like

@Donut Cheers! Straight to my bookmarks it goes, looks like a mental shop! Very nice!
@sorethroat That would be sweet! Much appreciated! -
Right just been to Arundel Photographica and my god, that place is rammed full of all sorts of types of camera.
The old boy who owns it (and works there) was really friendly and helpful and seemed like he enjoyed me asking questions about each one of his million cameras.
I picked up a pretty much mint condition Yashica T5 in orignal box with case and instructions for £40, he had it up for £65 but he knocked off £25.@Subsist, I asked about the Rolleiflex for you and he said he had one which was in near perfect condition.
It's a 'Rolleiflex 3.5E F3.5 Planar', I had a look at it and it looks in great nik. He wanted £325 for it but maybe if you were to pay him a visit and have a chat with him he would knock off a bit?That place is worth a visit even if you're not buying, just sooo much stuff in there at some really good prices, all of which seem to be negotiable!

So far I've been scouting ebay. Like I said not buying it yet so doing my research atm, but its definitely on the agenda. If you could pm a bit more detailed location of this shop that would be great!
Keep an eye on this guy as well. I have bought from him and the stuff is as described.

For old cameras (with their inherently soft lens qualities), I've used these two places with no regrets:

Flipping cracking.

i think they were contemplating a cider run to the shop.... hence Jims excitable expression.

Yashica or Rollieflex? I think he gets the Rollei's in fairly often, not sure about Yashica's though

yashica t5 / t4super
they're rad cameras
great camera, especially on the cheap (I have a T4 Super), the downside is the excessive vignetting at time, which to be fair are pretty normal on compact camera with wide angle lens.
Oh I know I know. It's just the first thing that sprung to mind when recollecting about my exp with the given camera. I like the lightbox edit ;)
Is there any particular medium format cam you would recommend?well, what kind do you want? a twin lens reflex camera? SLR, folder, etc?
-
This thread has reminded me no matter what format you shoot in, no matter whether you use digital or film, out of focus shots still look crap :)

Yes mate, Polperro a few years ago. It's slide film hence the vivid colours (Fuji Velvia 50) and it's not been altered except been cleaned up from the scan, dust etc.
Try contacting Arundel Photographica The guy had a million vintage cameras and I'm sure has what you're looking for. The website is just a front page, best to call of email, of if you're in the area, Arundel is an amazing little town.
