Just got back from picking my Rolleiflex up from the Rolleiflex Wizard! He had to replace some kind of arm and a small spring. It feels like a new camera! 😍 The film advance/cocking is so smooth now! I can't wait to try it out over the weekend. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice
Must. Not. Snigger...

In all seriousness though; I hope you haven't damaged yourself.
If anyone is looking for a medium format camera, my friend Aga is selling this Bronica ETRSi:

I dropped it over to the repair guy after work today. He diagnosed at least one issue within seconds of having it in his hands. We'll see what needs fixing.
Doesn't there just! I have already contacted the Rolleiflex wizard and he's messaged me back to tell me to drop it down to him.
I was approached at a classic car meet yesterday about selling some of my shots of some of the cars there. I went to develop the rolls today... Blank, bar the edge markings. Rolleiflex off to see the Rollei Wizard again soon then 😭 #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice
I can't say I've even heard of it before.
Ahhh, I'd forgotten about him. Cool shot!
Hehe Yep, I remember. I didn't like to mention. He was a good sport though.
I think this one is my favourite so far! 😍
I don't know about great, but it's not bad. 😂 Little annoyed that I cut his hands off. Ah well.
I finally got round to developing the roll of Kentmere 100 in 120 that I shot at the Norwich meetup I went to recently.

Rolleiflex 2.8e
Kentmere ISO 100 (120)
Godox AD200 strobe into a Godox lantern softbox (I believe)
Ilford ID-11

Yeah, it's good to share the passion about the craft.
Unfortunately it wasn't darkened all the time as people were coming in to look around.
Oh, agreed on both counts. I spent most of the day today in the community darkroom for an open studios event.
Where would people recommend for getting say 4 cut rolls of film scanned at a decent resolution, at a decent price and a decent timeframe? UK recommendations #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice
Picked up a Polaroid SX70 Sonar and accessories from a friend today. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice
Blimey, SX70 film is rather tricky to get hold of! The B&W version doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere :( I hope they're not going to discontinue it! #BelieveInFilm #InstantFilm #ShootFilmBeNice
Happy worldwide photography day. A way to observe. A way to create. A way to escape. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice no
How's the audio on that FreeDV nowadays?
I attended a film photography meetup in Norwich with the Shoot Film Norwich group today. Lots of chats and some photos made. @peterlangman.bsky.social brought a flash and softbox along, which was cool to use with my Rolleiflex #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice
Should I go full "influencer" video...? "Hi, guys! Welcome back to my channel and my latest unboxing video! Don't forget to like, share and subscribe!" 😂
