That's great, I was thinking about this at the weekend. I'll see you all there. I'll be going home in the evening.

I've checked the Ilford website. When you click add to basket it either shows out of stock or "not available in quantities selected" and being I was only trying to buy one both 1 & 5l ID-11 are out of stock. At some point I'd be very keen to learn how to mix my own from the raw chemicals.

Not through choice @zx9 . We had the house and garage rewired just before Christmas and most of the garage contents are still in my shed based darkroom making it inaccessible for loading spirals - I do the actual deving in the house. We are having a new central heating system and radiators...

Ilford developers seem out of stock everywhere too. My preferred ID11 is quoted as expected June via Morco. I've gone with Fotospeed FD10 instead which will be new to me. Guess I'll find out whether I like it after I dev my 10+ rolls of 120, 35mm and Minox! Edit: seems to be Ilford powder...

I think the cheaper version has a single plastic lens.

A few meet ups throughout the day sounds good to me. Reconfirming I'm attending. Thanks @sirch , firming up plans after Easter seems sensible.

Done. The screw was still too long hence scratches on the barrel. I made up a plastic washer/spacer to clear the screw off the barrel. The other 2 screws were loose as well so that wasn't helping. Tiny dot of thread lock added. Not pretty but fully working.

Well going on this View: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnalogCommunity/comments/jxmsjs/broken_aperture_lever_knob_on_mamiya_c220_tlr/ and being as though "brcamera" runs the US based https://mamiyarepair.com/ I've ordered a selection of 1.2mm screws in various lengths. If they aren't 1.2mm...

Well I've had the time and the enthusiasm to have a good look at the lens. And it's exactly as @David_Mug suggested. The tiny grub screw has fallen out. Thank you. It's right cheered me up. Best is it can still be used by moving the exposed metal part to set the aperture but it will be fixed...

Thanks but it's got fungus and a sticking shutter.

I've been looking for a replacement 80mm lens for the last couple of weeks. Not much about really. The bigger film camera shops hadn't got anything. Not much UK based on that auction site either. I may have to consider buying a further Mamiya C camera to get the 80mm lens. If anyone spots a...

From MS Hobbies Minox iiis and EC with flash cube adapter. The flash cubes and battery adapter came from elsewhere. The EC had issues but Paul at MS Hobbies resolved them. The film (x5) came from the US so I've now got 10 usable Minox plastic cassettes for the above and my Minox B. It's been...

Thanks. Shame it's broken. I'll post on here my new MS Hobbies purchases when I get home :)

Is that a Minox C at the front?

I've been out today using my Mamiya C3. The 80mm lens was fine for the first 9 shots then the aperture ring went loose and now has no resistance and isn't moving the aperture. Does anyone have an idea about what has gone wrong or more importantly is the repairable?
