    My Camera feels sticky

    I've had this happen with a small radio receiver, a DAT recorder and a Minolta Dynax 7. In all cases I was able to remove the coating with cotton buds and methylated spirit. It is a laborious process taking hours to complete but very satisfying to be able to use the item again.

    Probably old new. Newton Ellis to close

    Shame. They did a good job of servicing one of my Contax IIa cameras some years ago.

    Ag expecting Kodak b&w chemicals soon

    ID11 seems to be available from Ilford. I, however, mix my own from the raw chemicals. I have plenty on the shelf although I am wondering where to obtain fresh supplies now that Silverprint is no more.

    Poplar - DLR

    Very nicely done. You should be proud of that. Shame to give away the edit - I imagined you making a time exposure whilst skateboarding backwards along the platform at the same speed as the train.

    Mamiya C lens - repairable?

    My 80mm lens has a small plastic lever on the right hand side to operate the aprerture mechanism. It bridges over the shutter setting ring and is secured in place by three screws. The two screws at the front end secure it to the ring with the engraved aperture scale. The single screw at the rear...

    Fogged up Lens

    Just spread your Silica Gel bags out on a tray and place into your oven set at 110-120c for an hour to an hour and a half. Pack freely around all pieces of equipment to ensure the prevention of the dreaded fungus.

    What was your first camera ?

    A Coronet Box Camera. 6x9 negs on 120 film, bought for me by my Nan at a jumble sale. Set off something in me which has given immense pleasure for more than 50 years. Still using 120 film!
