I have a few rolls left in 120. No idea why, but it always looked good when I used it in my old folders whereas for 35mm I prefer the Kodak offerings.

Ask it now prices maybe but the auctions are going through the usual post Christmas slump. I got a very nice flash for a fiver.

Mine was done longer ago than that (maybe 2005?) and is fine. How are the light seals around the door?

I see what you are getting at, and I think compositionally you are probably right. My only worry is that they would vanish even more into the fog! I did wait for them to be between trees so they would show-up against the fog.

The footnote on the right of the page that Bertie posts says "Insert BR.P"dp within the inner frame..." to use the smaller battery. Presumably this can be removed to go back to 2CR5s.

I'm not sure I have the SFX manual, only an SFXn one.

It is too short a space for AAs. The 2CR5 is shorter than an AA. It's all very odd.

I've now checked the manual and the Hove Fountain book on the SFX/SFXn and neither mention another type of battery grip, so I'm afraid it remains a bit of a mystery. AFAIK, the SFX/SFXn were the only bodies that used this sort of removable grip. The SF7 has the batteries inserted from the base, and I think the MZ series is similar (I don't have any of those).

Your best bet is to pick up another battery grip, there seem to be a few about. Note that the grips for the SFX and SFXn are interchangeable. The main visible difference is the logo on the SFXn is on the camera not the grip.

Cheers, Kris.

I've just had a look at the compartments for my SFX and SFXn.

The one on the left is the Fb for the SFXn as shown in Waggy's post, the one on the right is for the SFX. The S7 has an entirely different set-up. As you can see, for both of them the contacts are in the top of the holder, not the bottom.

I'm rather bemused as to what your battery grip is. It looks like the top bit (with the C on my copy of the grip for the SFX) has been changed and some sort of different base has been inserted. It maybe a mod for a different type of battery. I'll do some more research.

Thanks, Kris.

Brrrrrrrrr. And a great photo...
