My father used these cameras when he was a press photographer, with the Malayan Tiger Standard. So I started my own collection, but I bought my cameras from eBay. If you are unable to find one, send a PM to me and I will put you in touch with someone who might be able to assist. All of my...

I don't know anything about the Yashicamat cameras. However I have a Rolleiflex 2.8F, which has a built in light meter, that works, but the photocell reads about 1-2 stops under. I think that might be an issue with the age of the camera and I don't think the replacements are available anymore...

:bsmilie: I have been in Melbourne for 5 months now and I am starting to get used to the graffiti. Aside from Youth Park, I thought graffiti (if charged as vandalism offence) in Singapore was punishable by caning?

There's your answer... you can ask your colleagues to help carry your tripod! ;) I forgot, if you are interested, "The Temple Church" in London, located near Fleet Street was one of the locations where they filmed the Da Vinci Code.

I bought an MD-12 for my FM. There should be a few for sale around the Peninsular and Adelphi second hand and repair shops (assuming you are in Singapore). The price ranges, from $250 (from what I remember) upwards, depending on their condition. Another aveune is eBay.

Aside from the usual sights (Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral, etc). If you have time, I suggest the Thames River Cruise. You can buy the tickets and board the boat from a kiosk around Cleopatra's Needle, near the Houses of Parliament...

Fantastic. It's great to know that. Thanks.

I think you will be very hard pressed to find any service in Singapore that will process 110 cartridge (?) If I am not wrong these were the ones used by instamatic cameras? Perhaps approaching Kodak directly, they may be able to send the film off for you. Sorry you did not get a positive...

I love my Rolleiflex 2.8F. But you can still get 127 film from: http://www.retrophotographic.com So don't rule out the 4x4 yet. Enjoy!

I'm afraid that getting 127 film is going to be like looking for hen's teeth. Don't let it stop you getting a Baby Rolleiflex if you want to collect the camera. It would be nice to put one roll of film through the camera, but I doubt you will find the film in Singapore. Good luck.

A friend of mine used to order his film for his Minox cameras from: http://www.frugalphotographer.com/ I think you might get 127 from them, unless there is a possibility you can re-spool the film yourself.

One of the previous posts show a Hasselblad SWC. I think P&G may have an SWC in stock. If that is the case, I would recommend giving that a "feel" before you rule Hasselblads out. It is relatively portable and OK if you want to handhold (no mirror). I guess looking ahead, I did not invest in the...

The light seals on the film magazines can be replaced. I'd send it to a service centre first for an assessment.

I've had a lot of joy from the camera. Very easy to use hand-held, as there is no mirror assembly. Hasselblad SWC's are scale focussing cameras, although a ground glass attachment for focussing is available. Without the focusing screen, you need to be able to judge distances accurately...
