Had to leave a review here for Jimmy as he really does go over and above for his customers. I had been searching for the flash Sync socket retaining ring for my Rolleiflex 2.8F and couldn’t find anything. Only one popped up where the seller wanted nearly £100 for a crusty one so I resigned...

Thought I’d drop some intel in here. The Brighton location is down on manpower due to a number of staff being sent to Berlin temporarily to pick up the slack over there.

Rolleiflex 2.8f Portra 800 Scanned and developed by Chemistryfilmlab Brighton.

Had the camera checked over and it seems I’ve bought a good’n! Even the meter is accurate which is surprising. Swapped out the screen for a Magicflex one and the difference is hard to believe!

Couldn’t resist… It was a toss up between getting myself another Mamiya 6 but decided to upgrade from the Rolleicord.

Thank you and yes, I agree with keeping things working but after seeing a CLA costing 3-400 I’m cautious of investing that much. Tempted to trade in the Pentax 645 towards a flex.

Thanks Peter! The lens looks to be suffering from some hazing or maybe fungus. Think I’ll keep my eyes peeled for a 3.5 Planar Rolleiflex.

G’day folks! Wanted to dust off my Yashicamat 124G and found it not firing consistently. It winds on, doesn’t cock the shutter 50% of the time and then seems to work relatively well. So… do I send for a CLA? Or resign it to a paperweight. Who is best for TLR CLAs? What TLR would you...

another vote for the Wandrd backpack. I use it to travel with as my carry on and often pack the sling in my luggage as I can carry my DJI Mini 3 pro and fm3a with a prime lens fitted in the sling for walking about when I’m abroad.

A couple from Storrington, West Sussex. I’ve traveled to Iceland, Russia and in March, Northern Norway but never saw the lights.

Final post from me on the topic as I have now blocked them on eBay.

Tactic or not - he is a con artist and dupes hard working people or those in need of the money out of cold hard cash. Deserves to be shamed for it.

And for those here that were duped by this persons positive ratings - I just went to leave bad feedback and eBay does not allow negative feedback for buyers! BEWARE!

Story time! The camera arrived safe and sound today - to my surprise. I half expected a brick. Or for the camera to be broken and missing a few parts. Given it the once over and all appears to be okay. I loaded in film. Marked up the gate with sharpie. Lo and behold…. It works! If you’d like...

Took the Pentax 645N out for a spin. Had driven past this on my way home each day for a week or so and ventured out but the lighting was never quite the same...
