When a camera is completely beyond repair, instead of sticking it on eBay as junk and making it someone else’s problem, we like to strip it of usable bits and make them available. It’s a bit of a labour of love, but it’s great when someone finds exactly the part they need for their own repairs 😊

Just packed up this nice little Fujicolor Reala film case with belt hook, to hold 3 rolls of 35mm film. Not seen another one. Anyone remember if they were exhibition freebies or something back in the day? #FilmPhotography

New T-shirt design:
Let’s all go to Franke & Heidecke’s for some Calzones, some Haloumi Fries, and a Rolleiflex!

Hand drawn design - once in pencil & once in vectors - then printed on lovely organic cotton tees with vegan inks 🌱

A chest view of the tee. This is a real t-shirt that arrived from the printers yesterday. The print says “Franke & Heidecke’s” in the deep red style of the Frankie & Benny’s restaurant logo. Under the name, the following text is in white with a green background: “Braunschweig Kamerahersteller” which should mean “Braunschweig Camera Manufacturer” in English. A close-up iPhone pic of the “Franke &” part of the logo, showing the print colours and quality.

Just had a casual little product photography session for a new tee design (proper post tomorrow). Needs must when you don’t have any proper lights, a neutral backdrop or a single working DSLR/Mirrorless camera…😅 first time I’ve ironed a sheet in decades… and it shows!
A snap of my hand holding a cheap Lidl LED ring light over a T-shirt that’s lying on the floor; on a white bed sheet. My feet and stripy socks are visible too.

New on the site: A very tidy Polaroid 1000 Land Camera + Polatronic 1 flash + some ND Filters thrown in so 600 film can be used. This is from my own collection 😔 but I’m having a much needed cull. More pics and example shots here: filmcameras.uk/product/pola...

Well.. that's a first... somebody must have asked what they needed in order to use M42 lenses with their FujiX mount body 🤷🏻‍♂️. Thanks AI. I guess. Still hate you though.

This 1st Gen Polaroid ONE has: Clamshell design to protect the gizzards. Flash with on/off/red-eye modes. Self-timer. Tripod mount (!!) and clever wrist/palm strap arrangement. Think of the creative options 🤔. It’s good, so we’re asking £45.

The Polaroid ONE, in open mode, sat on a wooden table in front of a book about mushrooms. The book has a plant on it that doesn’t like this silly hot weather we’ve been having. Neither do I. Anyway the image was taken with an iPhone and had some vignette added to look a bit fancy. A pic of a Polaroid pic taken with this camera. It’s wonky but it demonstrates a shot with flash off in low light on a tripod. The image is inside my kitchen looking out the window from fairly far back. A photo of a Polaroid photo. The image shows a harvested wheat field in the evening sun with a tractor on it. Long shadows create nearly black areas. I pulled over a bit erratically on the Cirencester Rd to get this, should have indicated sooner. Sorry following Tesla.

Very pleased to find some #Polaroid 600 locally at Clifton Cameras (nowhere near Clifton now 😅). With pretty strong feelings about ‘buying local’ and not from BigCorpInc etc, I usually get it from a tiny shop in Cirencester, but they had no stock. Now to test some more cameras! 🙌

Here’s a perfectly good, working and film-tested Polaroid P 600 (close-up + flash), selling for a bit less because it has a few marks. Asking £25. Go take a look: filmcameras.uk/product/pola...

The Polaroid camera with a front flipped up, sat on a wooden table in front of some photography books. This is intended as a product shot and taken on an iPhone. Sample photo taken with this camera. The Polaroid shows an old and fairly rusty triumph GT6 car at the bottom of the garden.

On a #Polaroid trip at the moment. Here’s a fully working and film tested 636 CloseUp for sale. Testing gives us excuses to capture shenanigans like Stan and Duggee here 😊. Asking £35.

The Polaroid camera, dark grey with large flip up flash, with the words “Polaroid OneStep close up” on the front. The camera is sat on a wooden table in front of a couple of plants in pots. This is an iPhone snap for a product shot and has been toned and little and had vignette added. An iPhone snap of a Polaroid snap laying on a table. The instant photo shows some cupcakes my daughter made for her JellyCat dragons. Apparently it was their anniversary yesterday and they’ve been married 6 years. The crocheted bone is a gift for Dingo the baby dragon. The cupcakes are for Dragon the daddy dragon. The very small rock is for Crystal the mum dragon, who apparently loves rocks.

New (old) in: About a million* #Pentax manuals! I think the person we sourced these from might have been on some divine quest.

The long term test of these Rollei-Peak-anchor-strap adaptors is going well. Also, the Peak ‘Slide’ strap is so comfortable and versatile it has to be recommended 👌

Yes… 🫤
perhaps one day they’ll do a FSOL and release everything on a series of albums and mixes.

Not that you asked for a recommendation… but right now I’m listening to Moderat III (Instrumentals) and loving it 👌

An incredibly niche homegrown product, added to the site about a month ago, has actually started selling since Google noticed it. So… needed to make some packaging for it 😅
#FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm #Rolleiflex
A poly packet filled with several small black 3D printer parts. The packet has a black and white card label on it which reads “Rolleiflex Peak Design Anchors Adaptors - 2 pack”. The packet is sat on a wooden table.

I attempted the exact same scene (Werra 1, Tessar 50/2.8, Foma 100) a while back. I hoped it would layer up nicely and contain loads of depth but it all came out a bit flat and under developed. You did a much better job 😅.
A black and white film photo of a some small brick walled gardens and buildings nestled between larger blocks of flats. The image was supposed to be about layers and depth but failed and looks flat.
