Is anybody on the forum still interested in this type of photography, and still using this type of camera?

I have a Chinon Genesis III APS camera, auto/manual zoom, auto/manual focus, auto this, auto that etc. 35 - 110 mm lens, Macro facility etc. It's one of those that you can hold with one hand as it has a strap on the side that you slip yer hand under. I can't at present find the user manual but I know it's in this house somewhere...

I can't remember exactly what it cost but I know it was about ?300??

Perfect working order, immaculate condition, in Black Leather carry case.

?25 If anybody interested give me a shout, + Postage.

It is so sad to see this sort of thing.. Must say that is an absolute bargain..
A couple of years ago I sold a Asahi Pentax SLR with a 28mm fish eye, the standard 50mm, a 125 TO 400MM zoom, and a 600mm tele for just ?80.00

The fish eye was originally more than that !

an amazing deal. I've managed to resist the temptation to go digital, but have all the film stuff I need.

Perfect kit for new starter or student though:bow:

Forgot.. I also sold off my entire dark room for ?30 !!
That included two Durst enlargers, exposure calculaters ( basically light meters ! ), countless dishes, dryers, clips tanks, ( even a tank for 8mm cin film ! ) ..

Oh and a bit of useless info for anyone still going it for themselves :p
You can load a film in a tank using a fag as a light source.. It was not until I had finished loading one in that I realised what I had done, but there was no fogging detectable at all :p

Ok.. anyone else remember all the fun and games that you had loading up a 36 exposer 35mm if the tank spiral was not spotless !
I even bought a posh one with ball bearing in the feed to try and get round it..
Then I found rinsing with a drop of pure water and drying with a hair dryer just before loading made life nice and easy !

I think what really sealed the fate of the "film" camera was Kodak announcing to all and sundry they would no longer be making film !!! :eek: even though other manufacturers would continue!! :dunno:

Was that because Telly savalas died? I thought they had recently made a film with a black guy in the lead role.

No Problem Baz - email me yer address and I'll get it sent off to you mate. I guess postage wll be about two quid.

The only problem is I still haven't found the user manual yet. I'm sure I have it somewhere but if it doesn't show up is that gonna cause big prob's for your mates daughter?
