Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

They sell for about £10 - £50 on eBay so you can pretty much weigh up the costs of a refurb from there.

They are pretty basic cameras. I got one for a few years ago in a 2nd hand store. Only put a roll through it last September. The results weren't great. My guess is the lens has an element not quit sitting where it should in my camera and I got ghosting in all the shots I took. They are so cheap its probably easier to buy one in good condition on ebay.

Here are a few shots I took with mine and you'll see what I mean.

ah ok, that answers that then. ive got the flash unit too which is pretty cool how its made but i may just put it aside for a while as the shutter on this one doesnt close properly at the minute so it may not be worth repairing
