I have owned this camera from new and its had very little use, probably no more than a couple of hours. The camera is in full working order and the only fault is a small speck (about 2mm across)in the viewfinder. Its at the top and does not effect the viewfinder, obscure the details - tapecounter date - whilst filming or show up on any recordings.

My 'Buy it Now' price accounts for this minor flaw so please consider this before buying.

If you feel my price is to high I will consider serious offers.

DELIVERY - £9.99 The camera will be securly packaged, fully insured and will be delivered within 3-5 days depending on date and time purchased. If you wish to have it delivered quicker then please get in touch.

Its a great camera and I am sure you will not be dissapointed with it you are not 100% satisfied then return and a refund is not a problem. The photographs are of the actual camera and bag for sale and if you wish to see more then please get in touch.

Old Ricohflex Model Vll 120 film camera FOR SALE

Its getting close to Christmas and I was browsing eBay looking for something to add to my Christmas list when I came across a Ricohflex Model V11 120 film camera. Its on Ebay for auction and starting at a very reasonable price plus the seller is 'throwing' in a 120 film, bargain.
The camera looks like it needs a little attention but does not sound as if there is much wrong, just the usual wear from 'old' age. The seller accept returns and at this price, as long as you are not expecting a 'brand' new camera (some do!), then I am sure that there would be no need to return. Looking at there feedback, they have over 300 over the last twelve months and no 'negatives' (scuse the pun) which is always a good sign. 
This usually means the 'seller' may know a thing or two about 'old film cameras' so less chance of any misunderstandings, I have just added them to my favourites and maybe one day in the future I will 'treat' myself to another old film camera.
I should state at this point that I am in no way affiliated or connected with this seller and only telling you whats 'out there', if you are prepared to look. If anyone 'wins' this camera then please let me know how you get on and it would be great to see some photo's when you get the film developed.

The one bit of information I got from this sellers 'listing' was a company who develop old film and at a very reasonable price, looks like I can almost afford to get those 'old' films developed after all:-) I have given up on attending the 'darkroom' course at college because the course is always cancelled due to not enough interest?

The seller does have other film cameras and they all look good, I am tempted but at the moment cannot afford to buy cameras. The main reason is because I am developing my 'other' website selling old prints and ephemera, another 'passion' of mine.

Polaroid "The button" Vintage Land Camera

Old Polaroid Land Camera "The Button" photographs with and without flash unit. A very collectible old camera and getting rarer by the day. These old film cameras are still around and always worth buying in my opinion, even as a 'retro' ornament.
I have seen them sell for 'good' money on Ebay, there's one just sold as a 'best offer' for £9.33 plus £21.19 to post? There are a couple on ebay at the moment and prices are low enough to grab a bargain.
Best of all, you can still buy film for these old 'film' cameras and start taking photographs. They are easy to find in 'working' condition so taking photo's should not be a problem.

Vintage Glass lantern Slides


Whilst looking for things to sell to raise funds for my 'short' college course, I came across some old glass slide photographs. I cannot remember where I bought them from, some auction or other?

Although I have owned them for some time I never really looked at them closely until now. On the corner of each is a label " Makers Newton & Cairns 43 Museum St. London WCI". I had to remove a little of the surround to reveal this label.
I did a little research and all I could find at first was a website with the following information and it looks like Cairns was Recorded as a daguerreian in Hillsborough, N.C. 1850. Newton was listed as a daguerreian in Hillsborough, N.C., 1857
Not sure if this was the correct 'makers' and having looked for more information found a listing in a auction catalogue that read:
  • Magic Lantern and glass slides c1900, consisting of Lantern by Newton & Co Makers London W.I. and approx 200 glass slides of Europe some Australia.
I then found a web site that identifies the business address and the company and this looks more like the actual 'makers'. Its an interesting read and its about three quarters of the way down the page.
On one of the glass slides is a sign which reads "Herbesthal" which if correct is in Belgium.

I will have to see what else I can find but have to get on with Ebaying for the time being. I did find this nice old illustration of a vintage cinema projector in an old 1930's book that I was 'breaking'.



What do you think of it 'framed' its only a 'mock' up using a framing suppliers website but I think its neat. I was thinking of selling the print on my Ebay along with some old advertising I have for cameras. Its been a while since I have bought any old film cameras or photography equipment but will be at an auction this weekend so who knows?
