And another... I potato chopped a car out from behind... lols...

Bit worried I will break it... too precious... and I have found a black one which I think I would prefer... less obvious...
Found a great shop up in Scotland that has soooo much stuff.

Anyone got any recommendations for online labs, who are good with medium format, and not too pricey?

These guys any good? http://www.photofilmprocessing.co.uk/120FilmProcessing.html

Paging nefarious

I've used them - good communication, good turnaround, good prices, had a little problem and it got sorted immediately = good service.

Did get a couple of scratched negs - I'm not sure I would use them for pro work - but them I'm never going to have any pro work. I'd send them a test roll first if that's an option, or something less important. When I did my cousin's wedding I didn't use them.

7/10, but only because of the scratched negs, and that was last year, so I assume they've changed their squeegee thing by now. Otherwise would be 9/10. They've got good rep on the interweb, so I may have been unlucky.

I did my last set of 120s with genieimaging.co.uk who were cheap and good and I would happily recommend them.

My fave lab is Kodak Express in Twickenham
Address: 6 King St, Town Centre, Twickenham TW1 3SN
Phone:020 8891 4737

the guys who run it are proper old school and know their shit. But they don't do mail order - I guess they would if you rang them. And they are not the cheapest.

Hexar shutter is going a bit funny... sometimes won't fire... common problem I hear... easyish fix but not by me!

Yeah, mine did that.

If you have a small enough screwdriver you should give it a shot.

I'd offer to do it for you but I'm not local.

And you fixed it yourself? I swear I will mess it up...

Does anyone know anywhere in London that sells already expired colour 35mm film? I'm aware there may be an associated cool-tax, but that's okay as it's not for me :)

Buy pound land film and put it in the oven, at £1 a roll it'll be cheaper than most expired film you find online.

Thanks both - will have a play/suggest these options.

lol
did never try that, but of course it will work in a way.
really curious to see actual results though! if it's good, it's good.
if it just looses conrast / numbs colours i guess you could just shoot using your iphone and one of these "vintage" filters.

Yeah yeah it's dead easy.

There's a guide somewhere online. Basically undo some screws and lift the top off, pop the button out, clean it and the reverse to put it back together.

Pretty excited...

This will get expensive real quick...

^ much jealous

90mm ?

Yup 90mm 3.5

Sweet.
Never shot a roll with one of those, just had a look at a friends once.
I liked the thing!

Have fun!

Hoping it's worth the 2 month plus wait I had and shipping woes surrounding it.

That thing looks amazing! Look forward to seeing the results.

I'm enjoying my £5 Mju II, this is my favourite of the roll... The rest of the images are here.

Very nice and lots of those places look familiar, mind sharing where you shot it?
