cheap roll film cameras

[bilmo-p5]

For an alternative film camera experience why not buy a cheap digital camera and smash the viewing screen?

...then post it to yourself before you look at the pictures.

Try Luton cameras for a quote to repair it

That's the downfall of film cameras here. Nobady repairs them or even csrries parts anymore (if they even make parts anymore) I can't even find a flash for my Pentax.

I dont know about the USA but in the UK possible to have a film camera repaired still as per my link.

Now wheres the fun in that...

Thank you for the suggestion- we have a good repairer up here and it was prohibitively expensive, unfortunately, so I'm going (eventually!) to get back to my tomboy stip-it-apart-and-hope roots to see if I can effect a DIY cure and learn some along the way

try rining Luton cameras and asking them they have a good reputation and are an official Oly repairer.

Thanks. i'll have a look around online for something over here. There usd to be loads of local repair shops but they went away as the demand did. Nothing wrong with my film cam itself at the moment; I really just need to find a replacement flash unit.

Thanks for the links. They're a bit bigger than the one that came with the camera but they're the same "hot shoe" design and should work great.
