I think you may be correct!

Picked this up on ebay the other day. I've wanted to get myself a Leica for a while now, but funds simply don't allow at the minute unless I shift more of my gear than I'm really happy letting go of, so I picked up a Soviet cousin. A Zorki S with Industar-22 5cm f/3.5. It's my first true...

We had a couple of extremely foggy days last week, so it made the perfect excuse to get out and shoot in the local high street. This was from my first roll of HP5 at box speed, so it's not perfect, but I wanted to see how it reacted to different lighting situations. I've just finished off a...

Ah that's fair enough. It's something I've budgeted for, so either way not a problem. Thanks for all of the advice!

Thanks, I'm going to do a little experimenting with it, see what I can come up with. I've heard a lot of people saying similar, unfortunately I wasn't able to shoot with either the earlier Ektachrome or Kodachrome.

Thank you, that's not going to be loaded up as an every day film. It was on a good deal and I had a voucher code available to managed to pick it up for just £3.50, so would have been silly not to!

I assumed so as it's been delivered and there was no note or anything attached and nothing was mentioned by FedEx. Seems I've got very lucky!

My Minolta X-500 turned up today, and I'm over the moon with it. I've loaded up a roll of HP5 and I'm hoping for the chance to get out over the next couple of days with it. It'll be my first time pushing film, so looking forward to seeing how it turns out! Minolta X-500 by Josh Kneller, on...

Camera turned up today. A week exactly from ordering to delivery. No customs/import fees so far, am I to assume that as I've not been informed of anything, I won't be charged as it seems a little too good to be true! Camera is in mint condition, exactly as described. I would have absolutely...

Tracking has been showing today all week but now it's looking less and less likely that its going to be today! It also looks like the service used with FedEx is only for weekday delivery, so I'll be waiting for Monday before I receive it now. I'm gutted as I wanted to get out and shoot a roll...

I'd expect a little more than that. Mine is £167 in total, and I'm expecting another £50 or so on top. I think I read somewhere that sometimes they give you a couple of weeks to pay, but I highly doubt they'll release the item before this is paid.

Here we are ;) Tracking details now showing Friday by 12, so fingers crossed I can get out for the weekend now restrictions have lifted a bit!

Picked this up on ebay yesterday, tracking is showing it should hopefully arrive tomorrow. My second film camera following my dad's old Olympus OM-10. Looking forward to getting out with it!
