Beautiful camera. Can’t wait to see what it produces! My next door neighbour has a beautiful selection of old cameras, I’ll need to have another peek at them as I’m sure I saw a few hasselblads in there last time!

Exceptional work! I’ve seen a couple of those larvae out and about but didn’t know who they belonged to!
Keep it up.
Keep it up.

For those who comment on film prices in general, the ones at 7-day-shop are not really representative of the market. Prices have increased over the last five or six years, especially for colour film, but decent prices can be found if you have a look around. Recently I've been getting HP5+ for €5.09 a roll of 135/36, albeit that's in Spain where film is one of the few things that are cheaper here than in the UK.
Analogue Wonderland are fine and have a large selection but they're often not the best for price. Traditional photographic shops, especially those with an online presence, are good to check.
I remember growing up (in the eighties) my parents were very frugal with film and my impression is that it was more expensive (as a percentage of disposable income) than it is now.
Agreed, the best price I've seen for Kodak Colorplus 135/36 is under £4 in a little shop not too far from me. Another sells Fuji C200 135/36 for about the same, or Colourplus 135/24 for £3.For those who comment on film prices in general, the ones at 7-day-shop are not really representative of the market.

In fact, their development costs are also reasonable... Hadn't really considered them much before as I want to give developing at home a go but the initial outlay is reasonably large.

Analogue Wonderland are apparently still shipping orders. I want to buy some film before long and their prices are reasonable so they're probably who I'll go with:
