I've got a Yashica Mat LM from ebay for £50 and I have already plagued Colman with questions on how to get the shutter to work. I'm sure he'll be pleased to know that I got a reply from the seller and it is all to do with how you crank the film on, the winder has to be turned forward until it stops and then backwards until it stops to get the shutter release to work. Which not one manual mentioned. But, it seems to work now and I have a trashed film to practice developing with. And it is a lovely camera.

That was my next question ... I just realised this morning that that's how the Rolleiflex works. I hadn't linked the reverse movement of the crank to the effect.

I've never touched one of these cameras before so I was clueless! Glad it seems to be fine now. I was slightly worried because although it was well packaged, when I picked it up from the depot, the bloke was in the foulest mood and slammed the parcel down really hard on the worktop. I thought it would all be in pieces when I opened it.

Is this your first attempt at film developing?

It will be when I get the chemicals in for it. I have all the kit ready. I'll be able to get everything else I need in town next week. I shall diary my efforts!
