Alright for some! I was planning a major purchase from RSOV (maybe sell some on at no profit.. curse my communist tendencies) unfortunately I get my first student loan payment on September 19th :(

Still I got my MP40 in time so its all good.

Just ordered; Oakleaf A Smock, M43 Keilhosen, M43 South Europe cap.

Just arrived; Leather sling (thanks to Mr Diggah) some batteries for the MP40.

I could tell you about a well-known UK Retailer who used an angle grinder to get a gearbox to fit into a metal body :shock: , but i'll save that one for a fireside chat lol

OK, purchases. Well, ive got a lot of stuff inbound.

Complete set of Uber-quality Sturmscharfuhrer insignia. Fuck-off sized order with Hong Kong Keith. Couple of Visor caps ordered from Sanjay. Gonna be a busy little bunny sewing on insignia and stuff when it turns up!

Just need to get onto RSOV and place the mother-of-all-orders this week...

Bloody glad ive got such a high credit limit on the card! :twisted:

Over $200 worth of Leica accesories:
Leather III Camera case.
Brushed chrome body cap, lens caps and bakelite containers.
135mm Hektor Tele photo lens.

Am thinking of getting a wide-angle lens, but I can't afford one this month.

A simple box brownie won't set you back much.
My No.2 Brownie cost me a less then a tenner.

Just be sure it's a No.2 otherwise finding film is going to be hard ;)

Can you still get the film for them . I'm sure the box brownine I had in the late 70's used an odd sized film like 127 .

127 film is available!
http://www.retrophotographic.com/shop/126/index.htm

No 2 Brownie takes 120 size film which is why Flibs suggested it - 120 is readily available as it is used in pro film cameras. A lot of other box cameras used 620 film which is the same as 120 but wound on a slimmer spool. It is possible to rewind 120 onto a 620 spool but its a PITA

Efke film is also available in 127 as far as I know ( http://www.efke.nl )
http://www.filmforclassics.com has some vague film types too, but they are kind of expensive.

I've respooled 120 film on 620 reels for my Kodak Medalist I, and it is indeed a PITA. But having the camera converted to 120 film is rather expensive and not quite cost-effective as I rarely use my Medalist, so I'll endure a bit more. ;)

Its amazing 127 film is still available - it's long defunct and doesn't have any application now except to revive old cameras. Talk about a niche market!

It was an old format when I was using it as a kid in my parents old camera in 1979 , before I swapped to 110, another one you don't see much of anymore. IIRC you only got about 8 or 10 pics to a roll of film .
