Howdy, I'm about to get a Baby-Max 17.5mm camera, and I'm new to subminiature cameras. I was wondering if there was a standard cassette for this type of film,...

Spence, The meter appeared to be dead on one of my MG cameras. When I opened the case, it was only a bad connection on the photocell. Hopefully yours will be...

I recently bought a Rollei A110 pocket camera in near mint condition. There was still a film in it which I could wind easily. I replaced it and put in a new...
these cameras are not very reliable... at least not with age. There is a very complex wind mechanism under the skin and the lubrication dries and causes it to...

Whilst surfing for some cheap 127 film, I found this site, which gives details of a novel film slitter, nominally for Minox film, but it could be scaled up to...
Jeez, last time I bought 127 (a couple of years ago) it was about the same price as 120. That's in the US, at Freestyle Camera. I think I still have two...
