Hi guys, I've just been down to my Mums helping her clear out some old stuff of my Dads, and I came across all of his old Photography stuff! It brought back some memorys I can tell you! lol mostly of me setting up for him and cleaning everything!! lol

But I found his Brand new (at the time) Rolleicord! in brand new condition! I was thinking of getting some film and having a crack! What I wanted to know, are there any of you lot who uses med format and where is the best place to get film and have it developed!

thanks Guys!

How wonderful, you are going to have loads of fun!

I get my 35mm from 7 day shop and I fairly certain they sell film suitable for your camera, they also do developing too.

Have a look how much they go on ebay for? Or maybe pop it into an antique store to see if they'd be interested in it/value it?

I haven't used them for developing I use a local camera shop, but I have only read good things about them.
I will be sending my black and white film to them to get developed. I have my Grandad's Zenit, and I am loving it, but it weighs a tonIt really is a solid camera
