in a desperate need of scanning a B&W film in London, anyone knows any cheap places? Developed at bayeoux (WAC prices) but scanning was really expensive there.

Could try Eyeculture on Fashion Street. Never had any B&W done there but they are pretty cheap and realtively quick. Failing that, you could try the lomography store at spitalfields. Again, I've never had B&W done I had a role of E6 dev'd and scanned there.

^ how much do both of these places charge?

Eyeculture is 3.90 for dev+scan, gives 1500px ish jpgs. Not the best scans, but not bad either. Don't know what they'd charge for scan only I'm afraid, though I know they have a 'high res' scanning service as well, think that's around 6-7 with dev

cheers dude!

went through a roll at the Turbonegro gig last week. A compact with 28mm lens isn't the best camera for the task, but some came out ok

Thinking about selling some cameras btw, pm me if interested

Recently serviced Lomo lc-a in good nick
Been to Roger Lean for a complete overhaul and only had a handful of rolls through it since. Had a look on ebay and £50 seems like a good price

Yashica Electro 35GT

Haven't been used for a while but had fantastic results last time I used it. Great camera that I should've used more... Comes with battery adaptor so you can use modern batteries and original bag. £30?

Will put up proper ads soon but thought I'd post here first

my tripod just broke and my lens is f'd ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

uh oh... pricey stuff as well?

ah man, this was literally 3 minutes ago, it's a fixed lens rangefinder, glass is fine but filter ring is f'ed and it's making a crunching sound when changing aperture

That sucks buddy, the electrics still working?

i've always used it without electrics, couldn't really find a battery for it because it was designed for those mercury types, ah hopefully i can get this fixed, anyone had any experience with http://www.cameracity.co.uk ?

Kboy, dibs on the Electro please.

all yours mate, pm to arrange pickup / postage

^Looks like a still from the Mad Max set (other dystopian futures are available)

Well, he was a mucky sod wasn't he, may he rest in peace?

Just been to the Cartier-Bresson exhibition at Somerset House.

Really really good stuff. Some amazing street stuff in there. Though it sounds cheesy, it was like a greatest hits album, but in the best kind of way.

Really inspiring too. Had a photo lull the last few weeks, keen to get shooting again now

I've a few film cameras going cheap / for freecycle here:

Just been to the Barbican to see 'Everything was moving'. Some fantastic stuff in there, heartbreaking and eye opening.

But, as always at the Barbican, it's just too much. I was spent after about a third of the exhibition, managed to focus for another third, but the last bit didn't get the attention it deserved.

I usually make a round, see what's there, and see what grabs my eye,
then pick like 3 to 9 images, then spend as much time as I have just looking at those closely.
