Holy crap!
And the guy is MOVING across to large format only!?!? Who said film is dead.
That Ektar only went for £65 last week, gutted, a bare £1.25 a roll for well in date stock, can't win them all! (By winning I mean I didn't actually bid).
Half way through a roll of Rollei RPX100 120 on an Ensign selfix 820 special 6x9 folder. I had forgotton how lovely the 6x9 format is to shoot, so took it into the lakes with some dogs who spent the entire time getting in the shots and wrapping the lead around the tripod and tipping it at the crucial moment, should lead to some interesting results!
Rollei have crazy amounts of markings on the back of film, on first load thought I had somehow buggered it up as dozens and dozens of strange markings flew past the tiny red window, till eventually {1} appeared. Shot it, moved on, then on next wind found that it actually wasn't 1, but just a weird symbol.
ROLLEI YOU FAIL AT CLEAR FILM BACK MARKINGS!!!
