Decided to have a crack at shooting film, black and white specifically. I picked this up on ebay for about £15, loaded it up with Ilford HP5+ and will take it out for a test run once I get some batteries for it. It had a ton on dust on the focussing screen, but I managed to clean it up. Reckon there will be some duds coming out of this until I get the hang of it…

I’m sure that’s the camera they gave us for a photography module I did at school. Wish I’d paid more attention now. Good luck with it.
I have a beautiful Pentax/Asahi Spotmatic SP500 which I love however I’ve never gotten a single decent picture out of it. Film Camera Tip Numero Uno…. NEVER buy film from eBay that doesnt specifically say its still in date in the sale. Also dont take black and white reels to Boots, they cant develop it.
My Dad used to have Pentax similar to that. I got the film from 7 day shop for cheap. Ilford can process for you + scan/burn to CD: http://www.ilfordlab.com/
The best thing about the camera so far is the smell 🙂
