Very sleepily made a handful of borderline disrespectful offers on eBay Polaroid listings late last night. Woke to find 3 accepted 😅 I feel a bit bad now!

Does anyone have a good tried and tested OM Mount rear lens cap model? The couple I’ve tied from Printables and Thingiverse are very loose and scaling isn’t turning out to be a great fix. Before I model one, I thought I’d ask… #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm #3DPrinting

I said in a #photochat that I mark all films & detail them in a notebook. I should also say that sometimes I bulkload forgotten film stocks into blank cassettes, shoot them in random cameras and then find them months later at the backs of shelves 😅 #isitpictures? 1h Stand Dev time! #FilmPhotography

For anyone not following my little camera store (shocked… frankly), I’m clearing out some stock NOW in the hope of avoiding post offices for the last two weeks of December 😅 - if you’re after a #Polaroid #FilmCamera, do have a look. Probably not be as cheap as eBay, but they definitely work!

Told my kid we had a new puzzle to do together 😬

Lemme just check with @profanity.accountant …

Hivemind… I’m investigating the Olympus OM10’s optional Manual Adapter, and I’ve just read on a retailer’s site that the small socket (2.5mm jack) that the adapter uses, doubles as a Flash PC Sync socket. I can’t find this info anywhere else. I think they are wrong? #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm

New book at bedtime. A bit big, and it’ll probably really hurt when I fall asleep and drop it on my face… #BelieveInFilm #Bookatbedtime

Well… I completely missed #folderweek and it’s now Sunday afternoon and gloomy and I’m out of playtime, but at least I found this in the shed for next time 😅 #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm

Here’s my latest sketch, as a tee 😅 (Actual tee photo, mocked up over a pic of my Rollei, in Potatoshop, because ‘marketing’). If you want one they are £22 delivered. Or about £2M to another county probably because tariffs. (Here: filmcameras.uk/product/fran... #FilmPhotography #Rolleiflex)

Archive: Blue Tree Monitor – We visited Bristol Zoo a couple weeks before it closed. This decades-old poorly stored TudorColor held up well.

Nearly two years. Turned out pretty nice, with some careful following and the correct block lists etc…

I’m selling my own #Polaroid Land Camera 1000 on @filmcameras.uk. Seen lots of these over the years. This one is in better that usual nick with matching flash, so I’m asking £65. I started the site to sell #FilmPhotography gear at reasonable prices, so I’m wondering if £65 is a bit steep 🤔 opinions?

Apropos nothing and #offtopic, it’s time to post this again… #lego #grammar

Right… you’re all great and everything …but I think I have capacity for some more nice photography and camera nerdery. Any personal recommendations? Who’s posting interesting analogue stuff, whilst managing to lay off the politics, doom or football 😅 (purposely not hashtagging this)

A small section of Overbeck’s Garden that I really liked. The vivid colours from afternoon sun bouncing around this wood-framed greenhouse and all the plants in it made the place very welcoming. —  📷: Rolleiflex 2.8f  🎞: Gold 200  —   #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm

Without using a search engine or other reference system, do you know why the names 'Franke & Heidecke' are significant? For want of a polling system here, perhaps you could 'like' or reply with a thumbs-up if you do. #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm (this is rudimentary market research init!)

It's kind of ruining us isn't it...

A few people from the Vintage Prescott (VSCC) event in August. I really want to photograph more people, just need to be braver. #BelieveInFilm #FilmPhotography —  📷: Rolleiflex 2.8f  🎞: Gold 200

When I got this Rolleiflex I was also given a bag of “bits that might be to do with it”. I immediately lost this bag until yesterday! Quite excited to find – after lots of reading & learning about Rollei accessories – close-up (Rolleinar 1) adapters & a hood in it. #BelieveInFilm #FilmPhotography

Ok I get that everyone is very excited about AI. Now please leave me alone to play with my old bicycles, old cameras, old cars and old electronic devices #offtopic #rant

Oh go on… my recent Polaroid trip has left @filmcameras.uk with some new stock 😬

Realised I don’t have a half-frame camera… 😑 I wonder if I could modify something with a mask and some thinking 🤔 Gearing would be a git right? #FilmPhotography #HFF @halfframephotoday.bsky.social

Clean ‘em rollers! #Polaroid #FilmPhotography

I had an accident while attempting to swap a Polaroid film pack. An accident that cost £2.18p so I’m posting it! #InstantPhotography #Polaroid

A little shameless business promotion. I have a few Polaroid 600 cameras for sale here. All good, all tested, all reasonably priced (I hope, feedback welcome) 😅 #Polaroid #FilmPhotography

Reflections of mountains in still lakes are nice no? Reflections of hills that look like mountains but aren’t actually mountains but we’re calling a mountain because my 7 y.o. climbed it with me and was really proud, are also pretty nice I think. — 📷: Bessa 1 🎞: Ilford HP5+ @200 #BelieveInFilm

My favourite from an early morning solo stroll in north wales some time ago. It’s also the first thing – I believe – that I’ve scanned and posted that was taken with my Bessa 1, and first foray into 6x9. —  📷: Voigtländer Bessa 1 (no mask)  🎞: Ilford HP5+ @200  —   #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm
