Outstanding as usual Peter.
Excellent sharpness with those 200mm shots too.
Love seeing your work, keep it going.

I don't know if I was having a bad couple of day's or just pissed off but that's not how I would normally react to a situation it's usually foul mouthed and just straight to the point when deserved! Unfortunately, I can't seem to delete otherwise I would. I'll have to get down your way buy you a pint and discuss with you why England are still a better rugby nation then Wales!

Only kidding, I don't want to start something new!

Same here so my apologies for being direct with my responses. As much as I wanted to help it very obviously didn’t come across as particularly friendly.

It was an interesting game, for sure! I’d like to hear the rationale for England’s rugby superiority, too!

It could also be the advance film lever mechanism - they can gum up with old oil, a bit of new oil and working can free them back up.
The spring is sluggish so doesn’t cock the lever ready for the shot with the advance wind. Can show as firing intermittently.

Love these, J. Especially the feel of the 1 and the different approach to birding of 2.

Welcome Simon (from S. W. Wales).
Looking forward to seeing some of your shots. I, for one, am going to have a quick flick through your website shortly!

Thanks all!
I'm only seeing 'parts only' ones for that inexpensive on eBay.
I'm tempted by that P30 - what is it lacking versus the P30t/P30n? I'm guessing it's auto-exposure/aperture priority type modes which may not really be an issue if they show the metering clearly.

Many thanks and apologies to all who have contacted me. I’ll get back to you tomorrow - it’s been a mad few days of work surrounded by falling asleep on the sofa.

All,
Given my generous lending of a film camera (one of my beloved MX's) to my younger brother for a short spell, I'm tempted to get him a film camera as a belated birthday present.
Does anyone have anything kicking around that's working (or suggestions) for around the £20-30 mark? I'll tag a lens onto the front of it, load it with film and away he goes!
Working meters/electronics/shutters a must but degraded light seals are a non-issue, cosmetic dinks/scrapes/scuffs are a non-issue. It doesn't have to be anything special.
Cheers in advance.

Further edit: It could even be a compact film camera/rangefinder/similar.

Holy thread-bump Batman!
Ordered one of each of these in 49/55/67mm (in blue, because it looks great).
Looking forward to trying out a CPL (even if it's reasonably 'weak' versus some others on the market).
Currently on eBay at just under £10 each. Spend over £20 with SRS and get 15% off with 'Playwith15' code.
Total cost, £25.40-something posted for the three.
