I'll take that G please.
See you Souths Monday

perfect. if you decide to do the marathon ride let me know and i'll put it in my musette.

But these are still quite a bit bigger than the Ricoh aren't they? I am not sure I want to carry lenses either, and want a 'do'it'all, whike obviously accepting limitations.

Ideally I want it to also be cheap, which the Ricoh is not, and I hope to sell my LX3 for decent money.

did all this on my yashica:

Anyone got a (PM45) Prism VF? I quite want to get one for my hassy. Had seen a few go for cheap on eBay a while ago but checked again and they seem to have got a lot pricier.

Some nice flicks there.

Picked up a mamiya ZM with 50 1.7 for £3 this week, got to love charity shops.
I didn't even realize mamiya were in the 35mm market.

if anyone has used them and has opinions please share

Can someone please tell me simply what is small and cheap to buy? Essentially a film compact, ie not an SLR, that I can take on climbing trips, but cheaper than the GR1v - that M series Pentax is too big...

Cheers

is fixed lens out of the question?

Why film?

Film because for the price I cannot get a camera with a sensor good enough to match quality of the film, and film cameras have longer lasting batteries for expeditions and are simpler and probably less likely to break, I think.

Jambon, what is fixed lens? I assume you mean a bit like an SLR, only with a smal lens that doesnt come off. The attraction of the GR1v is that nothing protrudes from it and it slides into a pocket really easily and comfortably...

Ricoh GR1 | HP5+

try olympus mju 2/aka oly stylus/, or oly xa, minolta tc1 if you have ££££ burning in your pocket

yeah i mean a lens that you can't remove.
I did think olympus xa/xa2, but guess that pocket size comes at a premium

I don't want to pay more than fifty quid, is that even possible?

yashica t5 i sold mine to a forum member a while ago.

i think it's definitely possible if you keep an eye out, just you may have to be patient

http://www.camerapedia.org/wiki/Olympus_mju_II

I see that this page suggests Yashica T5, Olympus mju II, Leica Minilux 2, Contax T2

The Mju is not a wide angle lens and therefore wont work...

Does anyone want an LX3 by the way? Used a handful of times...

Try russian rangefinders if you need it to be very cheap and atomic bomb proof.
I think you'll find what you want in the rangefinder range (see what I did there?)

How much do you want for it chap?

I want to start doing it at home as well, just curious as to which B&W films are suitable for the job as C-41 seems to be far to tricky to do when first starting out. Also where I can get chemicals from?

Pretty much all B&W films are able to be processed at home. I would recommend starting with something like HP5 (cheap and lovely tones) or TRI-X (Much more gritty like the old Journo's used to use)

All you need to start is a tank and chemicals, don't worry about the running water a bucket will be fine. I know plenty of people who have developed their film abroad in a hotel room just fine.

As for space you don't need much of that either, I just do mine on top of a chest freezer (nice and hygienic I know!)

The only bit you need to be careful with is the temp and time of the developer. Even then being 2c out won't make much difference.

The best guide I found when starting up was this one;

Had a really cool weekend meeting some fo my family and managed to walk away with a 1930's Voigtlander brilliant camera. Just have to find a local supplier of 120 film and gonna have some fun..........
