Medium format film

KarmaGarda · 2009-11-02 15:22:19

Hi, I'm looking for a bit of advice in regards to what type of medium format film to purchase. You see, I went a bit crazy yesterday (well, about €30/€35 crazy) and purchased an old medium format camera - a Lubitel 166B.

I got my Holga from Ebay, some Hong Kong distributer there. Was very reasonable though, I got a few accessories from the same people, and they bundled the shipping costs. Was here v fast and all in all a smooth transaction.

I'd always check Ebay first for "lomo" cameras, than Lomo themselves, or even *blech* Urban Outfitters. Rip off merchants the lot of them. :mad:
