Looks interesting - wonder if you can still easily get 110 film?

There is a place in cape town who stocks / supplies 110 film.

Spoke to 2 camera companies earlier about the Pentax, both told me about a company on the Foreshore who stock it.

I'm fascinated with the Nikonos tho !

According to this the Nikonos is an underwater 35mm rangefinder - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikonos

I'll take it off your hands if you don't want it

I bumped into a photographer friend yesterday & told him to come help himself to the lot - have not heard from him yet, but i think he is getting an exhibition together.

Sorry to hijack your thread, I have a Yashica Mat Copal MXV and was wondering if you can still find film for it.

Medium format. Shouldn't be hard to find (but it is). If these okes are still in business, they should be able to help, otherwise Orms. I like 6x6. The square format really makes you think before you click - 12 medium format shots will have more "keepers" than 120 DSLR shots.
