  • I've also got one broken, anybody know where to repair them?

  • Some shots of my first roll with my fathers Canonet ql17.
    Really fun to make analog pictures for a change.
    The white spots are because I took a digital picture of these ones... Need to get myself a scanner.


  • i like the last one, any idea what shutter speed?

  • anybody got a XA2 flash?

    I have an A11 flash in Stoke Newington, N16 if you want to make an offer?

  • ^^ I used a tripod and just kept the button pushed in for about 5secs I think.

  • Need to get myself a scanner.

    Taking digital pictures of prints is alright for quick internet / forum use,
    just take care of reflections and consider cropping them.
    Canonet ql17 is a neat camera!

  • My mju finally succumbed to alcohol on NYE, loved that little camera.

    Anybody got one they want to get rid of cheaply? Don't need the mju II

  • Just found out my local lab is closing down on Saturday.

    Beyond gutted as I now no longer have a cheap place to get developed and scanned as the other local alternative is a fucking joke - in terms of both quality and price.

    So, anyone got a medium format neg scanner for sells. . .

  • which lab?

  • We send away (freepost) to Peak Imaging in Sheffield.

    I rate them.

  • @Phil,
    Bonsers.

    Digitalab prices aren't as bad as they used to be, but it's still more than twice as much as Bonsers for worse quality scans.

  • Yeah I've not been back to digitalab, not that I've shot much film recently. Just the lab or the whole shop?

  • Whole lot. Think they've just gone bust. They only found out this morning, all the staff losing their jobs etc. Bought myself a tripod and flash anyway (was in there to buy before I knew the news) and scored a bit of discount - hopefully it'll go a little way to make sure everyone get their final wages.

    Seems you can get dev and scan (with a reasonable scan) for £13 at digi now, it'll have to do either way. I shouldn't really complain though as it's better than most have available!

    All the people in Bonsers were sound as fuck too.

  • Shit, might go have a look this week then, see if anything is going cheap.

  • My wife got this for xmas, the dealer assured her bro (who bought it for her) that it is fully functional but she would like to take it for a clean and service.

    Can anyone recommend a place that would be able to do it?

  • MrCad.

  • it would have to be posted wiganwill!

  • Mamiya RB67, XP2 Super.

    A bit boring but I was eager to fire a film through.

  • What do you think of the XP2 Super? And did you use a yellow/orange filter for the last one?

  • No filters.

    Not sure about the xp2 - probably wasn't the best choice for the 1st roll on a camera I have no familiarity with so I can't say what's down to the film and what's down to the camera.

    Need to shoot some film I'm more familiar with first I think. I've got a few rolls of Provia 400x that I'm really excited to shoot and I've got it loaded with Fuji Pro400h at the moment.

  • could someone tell me what the overlap problem is that I'm having here and how I can avoid it in future? I took a set of polo photos and then the next day took a few of my friends (so they are next to each other on the film) and they seem to have become overlayed

  • Most likely film not winding on properly resulting in a double exposure.

    What camera were you using?

  • Yep. Either a mechanical failure, or some cameras have a button to deliberately skip film advance when you wind on and allow double exposure. Usually recessed or fitted with a twist lock so you don't press it off accidentally.

  • It's a Pentax ME Super that had a winding problem. I paid to have it repaired but I'm now thinking that the issue isn't fully fixed and its now intermittent.
