Sounds good to me. If you’re wondering what you’ve become, I’m wondering what I’ve always been? 😅

Yes… the capri had me looking up whether they ever had pepperpots on them. Usually seen on XR2/3s. Wife wasn’t interested in my observation…

A Polaroid taken with this camera, laying on a wooden table. The film stick has an error, showing dots, and had been used and apparent in other cameras too (we swap cartridges when testing for economy)

A Polaroid photograph of a toy basket containing loads of stuff toys as well as a little toy bed made from a cardboard box. The Polaroid is laying on a wooden table and this is a demonstration that the camera can take an exposed film properly.

We have a bunch of perfectly good old Digital cameras and accessories - often arriving along with film camera purchases - that should get sold. Having next to no interest in digital, we don’t really want them on the site… but *IF* a section was added to flog them, what should it be called?

Well… we seem to have run out of cameras (besides some APS stuff) and lenses. Oops. Better get in the workshop over the break! I blame Google Merchant listings actually working too well, and the owner/technician/purchaser/developer/accountant/marketeer (me) not working well enough!

Oh yea they are way behind with the real-time tracking, agreed.

Actually I think the distinction might be that I only every use 'Tracked 24' and 'Tracked 48' and its been pretty flawless. No idea if the old '1st / 2nd' stuff is crap now.

Absolute opposite here. I wonder if it's regional...

… I mean I don’t know if Instax emulsion lifts are even a thing, but has anyone tried Instax lift trichromes? (cc @deborahparkin.bsky.social @apkeedle.bsky.social @warboyssnapper.bsky.social )

Got any RGB filters? You could make 3 trichromes! Would love to see them.

A photo of a cartoon on a cup. The cartoon shows a frog with its tongue stuck to the underside of a plane that’s just flown very low over the frog’s pond.

This cup amused me greatly though most if my teens. Then being relegated to the toothbrush mug, it amused me most of my twenties too 🐸

Anyone need a Pentax film camera manual? We’ve probably got it, and if it’s not listed (here: filmcameras.uk/product-cate...) then it’s likely sat in the HUGE pile to be added, so just ask 😅
