Perhaps the focusing screen is out of position?
Certainly one possibility especially has it has interchangeable screens. I've not had the chance to check as I've been unpacking for the last week...

Well my friend doesn't want to sell his MZ-S, even though he got it from his shed when I went to get it and also said the last time he put a roll of film through it was circa 12 years ago! Such a shame but you can't force anyone to sell anything they don't want to.

So I've bought 2 x Z-1P! Seller had a pair with lenses that are scrap which doesn't bother me as I'll put my lenses on them. Bargain at £50 the pair. I'll have one with colour and the other with black and white film!
Nice. Not many Z1-Ps on the market. Shame about the MZ-S.

What's the focus problem with the XR-X?
Focus on something c. 3m away, check the scale on the lens and it'll say 10m. Try to focus on something further away and it'll want you to go past infinity.

A Ricoh XR-X with a focus problem and a SMC Pentax "K" 28mm f/2 lens which I've not had the chance to try yet. I've almost completed my set of K-series primes.

Although I haven't paid for it yet, I have here a MZ-S with battery grip.

Can't play with it for 3 days as its in isolation. My buddy who owns it has Covid and we exchanged carrier bags on his doorstep when I dropped down some vitamins and other stuff to him to help aid some of the Covid symptoms.

By the time it passes quarantine and I can anti-bac it and polish it up, my films will be here I ordered I can shoot a roll through it.
Love to know how you get on. I've never tried one but am very curious.

Does anyone have an empty photographic paper box (preferably with the black bag inside) that they could let me have? Happy to pay postage...

Thanks, Kris.

Archival hanging files for slides in a large lateral filing cabinet.

Even if digitised, keep the originals! Archiving digital files is another can of worms.

I use Peak Imaging at Sheffield. Handy for me as I can drop my film off when picking up grandson from school.
I use them for my 5x4 negs. Excellent lab.

The Darkroom UK although the Analogue Wonderland Wonderlab might be a good choice when they sort out their teething troubles. With Analogue Wonderland you have the option to pay for developing when you buy your film.
