Weekly Update, June 2026
Continuing the sort out of the previous big job lot and some other new stuff that turned up this week:
New Stock
- Two Leica IIIf bodies, a 50mm f/3.5 lens and a 50mm f/2.8. I've already forgotten the exact models, but they're good ones at least. All in excellent condition, one body is particularly clean and running well and also features the self-timer mod. Shutters both in good condition. £500-600 depending on body/lens combo, both come with cases and lens cap.
- A Bronica ETRsi, with multiple backs, grip, prism and waist level finder, and 75mm lens. Seems to be in good running order - £500. There is a second lens for this system as well, but I need to test that out further first.
- A Bronica GS-1 with various accessories. I actually have a couple of these, with one currently put aside for somebody. £300-400 depending on which bits are with it. There are multiple backs but not all of them are in good working order.
- A Leica R4 body in good working order - £150
- A Leica R Super-Angulon 21mm f/4 lens, 3-cam variant, in excellent condition. It will have the hood but that's being dropped off to me in the next week or two, in case you come in for it earlier. This is an excellent wide-angle and easily adapted to mirrorless cameras - £400
There's a bunch more stuff as well but it's been very busy the past few weeks so I've been quite bad at taking notes as to what's been tested and sorted.
New film stocks
- I have a lot of new expired film, but I'm in the process of testing it and figuring out prices. Some of the rare stocks will be going on ebay because some lunatics are paying silly money for expired film, and by doing that I can afford to sell the rest for reasonable prices in the market. I am trying to source a fridge for storage as well, as we're coming into the hotter months.
- As of today I have 10 rolls of Fujifilm Velvia 50 in 120 available. This is a bit of a pain to get and this order took 6 months to arrive, so this is very much a limited supply. Unlike 35mm, it's positively affordable! £16.50 per roll.
Opening hours this coming week
I won't be in the stall on Saturday the 20th of June, as I'm photographing a wedding. I also might not be in on Thursday the 18th as the Wales & West Photography Show is on in the ICC in Newport, and I might be heading over to that for the day. I will however be open on Friday, so come along then if you need to see me for something. Otherwise, pop along to the ICC for a chat! There's lots of people from across the industry there too.
It's been a while since I wasn't in the stall for a day and unfortunately I've been very lax in writing out price labels for everything, so while Kelvin/Ian can sell stuff on my behalf (but only for cash), they'll likely have to message me for the prices first. Whoops.
