Try your local Snappy Snaps - not all branches deal with 120 film in-house but I'm sure they can redirect it to a branch that does. I use my local for 35mm D&P and have been very impressed with price and quality.

All 20 lots sold, if anyone from this forum was amongst the bidders (or winners) then thank you very much!

I've got them too - still, even though they no longer stock Pentax it's nice to see them helping to pay for this forum!

For me they're all plenty sharp enough but it's the "flash" look that I'm not very keen on - makes everything look a bit two dimensional and sterile. If you're using a tripod indoors then don't be afraid of long exposures - you can set the shot up, press the shutter and even if it takes 15-30 seconds or more that's fine. Natural light just makes things look more "real" to me.

Is it the Pentax or the Tamron you've got?

I haven't seen one and the P30 wasn't designed to have user-interchangeable screens, however, that doesn't mean that a previous owner who was handy with a screwdriver couldn't have fitted one.

If you get a screen of the right thickness then it can be trimmed down to fit pretty much any camera so there's a chance that yours may have come from a Nikon, a Minolta, an Olympus... pretty much anything in fact!

For colour print film (not everyone gets on with slide film) try Fuji Reala 100 - lovely, subtle and natural colours. I find Fuji Velvia a little too oversaturated for my own tastes but each to their own...

Hefty seems a very handy fellow, perhaps he can pop over and build you one out of leftover Saab and MX parts

At times it certainly feels like I have enough of both to make a small outbuilding...
