Gotta show off. Nearly there with my collection - got a few more bits like a prism and a grip and filters but this is the main part of my kit :D

This seems to be the most popular of mine - Gibraltar from La Linea beach. Yashica Mat 124, Fomapan 100

Hasselblad, 120mm Makro-Planar, HP5 :) More here: facebook.com/PhotoHoward

There's a place in Leeds too or so I hear... :whistle:

Spotted a very good value Hasselblad on Ffordes for anyone on the hunt for one - £399 complete from a dealer is quite good. Not cheap enough to make money on of course (or I'd have snapped it up) but great for a user. http://www.ffordes.com/product/14072216071131

Just want to echo what Tom said about coming in, Thanks guys :)

The WLF finder was on the kit that sold unfortunately. Sometimes we do :) Ffordes is always a good starting point.

This actually sold on Saturday :( it was the complete kit! Bring it into the shop and I'll check it over for you so you don't end up wasting a roll :)

Rollei 35's - not seen any broken ones yet so assuming they are relatively reliable - there's different models like the 35S and 35B and 35 LED, and some are much more expensive than others, the LED and B versions are far cheaper - around £30-40 whilst the S and other expensive versions are at...
