I noticed that some words don’t translate correctly such as ‘room’ which relates to chambre ( a chambre in photography terms is basically a LF bellows camera)
Like a box of FP4 in 10x8?You could offer to translate properly for a nice fee
Hey Asha you might be onto a winner as it's local as he says:-

I expect we'll soon be at war with France once we've sunk a couple of their trawlers for trying to fish illegally in our territorial waters once the Brexit talks finally break down. It's being so cheerful that keeps me going!

Stiff or set solid old oil and grease is a common problem with mechanical cameras, it just gums up or stops the works. Slow shutter speeds and self timer mechanisms often suffer from this on old cameras, as well as lens aperture and focus mechanisms.Well Miles has done my 180mm RB67 lens the bill was £85 and the problem was:- on pressing the camera shutter button the lens would operate at a delay up to 18 secs He said "the problem was the bearings hadn't seen any lubricant for a long time".
So any RB67 owners do you have your old lenses serviced while Miles is still working or wait till you get the same problem........

Robin at Harrow Technical has just finished servicing my Pentax ME Super and I should have it on Monday. I'll report back.
I emailed Miles and he said give it a few weeks and get back in touch. He's going to service my Agfa Isolette II.
