Advertisement Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Hi Stealth3kpl, Take a look here New lab opened in London. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Xmas Posted April 5, 2011 Share #22 Posted April 5, 2011 Hi Pete My Mamiya TLR (330f) was not that expensive when did you get it? The Lomo kids react badly when I tell them my M2 and CV 35mm was less than £600... Why dont Leica advertise that? cause they are selling M9 at 5k...

Stealth3kpl Posted April 5, 2011 Share #23 Posted April 5, 2011 Hi Pete My Mamiya TLR (330f) was not that expensive when did you get it? Noel Not long ago, 3 months perhaps. I've not seen one cheaper since except without the lens. I wouldn't feel done if I saw one for half the price. The point is they cost peanuts. I saw a Nikon F4 sell for 49 pounds today!!!!

Xmas Posted April 5, 2011 Share #24 Posted April 5, 2011 Hi The foam in the slots sealing the back light tight may be sticky, if it has not been replaced. Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonneyD Posted April 5, 2011 Share #25 Posted April 5, 2011 I live in a small town. I saw a Yashica Electro 35 in the Oxfam shop. I went down to buy it today. Some B#gger bought it last week! I'm not the only one buying film cameras in this town Pete There are quite a few Yashicas for sale on Australian eBay sight, I'm thinking about picking one up to get the rangefinder/film feel, before purchasing a Leica. Do you know much about these cameras and what would be a reasonable price. You should check them out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth3kpl Posted April 5, 2011 Share #26 Posted April 5, 2011 It sounds like the lens is very good. I've seen lots of examples on flickr. 45mm/1.7 I think. This guy (I think) supplies a battery adapter. The correct voltage battery is no longer available hence the adapter. Ebay prices (and the one in Oxfam) are about the £40 mark. Lots of info on Google. eg here and here Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share #27 Posted April 5, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) The price of the Lomo Lubitel TLR is crazy but people must be buying them! You can buy a mint Rolleicord V for less! But I'm pleased they are selling them and that people are buying them. I remember when I worked in a camera shop when I was 16 and the Lubitel was about £20 new, but no one bought them! I wonder how many new Lomographers step up to 'proper' film cameras once the novelty of quirky pictures has worn off? Quite a few I bet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Jenkin Posted April 9, 2011 Share #28 Posted April 9, 2011 Just seen the original post for this. I'm lucky in that I work about a 10 minute walk from Spitalfields Market. So, I can drop off a few rolls of film and get a bite to eat from one of the food stalls in the market. I haven't been there for a while, but they also used to do a CD and vinyl fair every Wednesday. I think I can see a plan coming together.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonR Posted April 9, 2011 Share #29 Posted April 9, 2011 The only problem is the place appears to be run by idiotic hipsters. Though I base this assumption on the youtube opening night video; a plethora of ironic haircuts/NHS style spectacles and the general suspicion that the nearby lampposts where surrounded by rusty single speed Peugeot conversion projects Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Jenkin Posted April 9, 2011 Share #30 Posted April 9, 2011 Good point LondonR I'll take a couple of rolls of stuff that aren't so important to me and see (a) what sort of a job they make or processing them and ( how much they charge to fund their "ironic" hair-do's!!

Hi James The ones who ask me about how much my M2 costed, normally start thinking about saving some more money immediately. Especially if I'm cruel and let them shoot a frame, and wind on, it is the thic of the 1/125 of a second that suprises... To be fair most wonder why I'm not using a Leica Lens as well. Most people are not aware how much a Barnack or M2 costs, even DSLR owners have the same questions. Those who are aware wont even touch one...
