Yeh I managed to pick up 2 Interfit 300W flash heads with 60x60in soft box, 1 shoot through brolly and 1 silver brolly. for £199 the recipt was in the bag which was for £350 less than a year ago.

My problem now is a backdrop for those i used an ikea quilt cover for the black and some very cheap white material for the white but i had to realy over expose the back ground to get it white. i have seen a popup one which is reversable and non-crease but i cant afford it just yet

Fair bit of kit there

Im just getting started, i have an intermediate camera atm its a fuji S6500 which is still a good camera and has a 300m lens but it doesnt have a hot shoe
im saving for either a cannon or nikon SLR ut im unsure which model to go for

I missed out on a Fuji Pro full frame digi camera on ebay because i forgot it was ending
it ended up only going for £120 so i was gutted pluss it is a nikon body so most nikon f mount lenses fit it



If your looking for a good SLR camera I have a canon eos 30 film camera with a 50mm lens for sale, its in great condition as it has hardly been used and its a good entry point for a novice photographer.

Looking for around £160 which I consider to be quite reasonable!

Have a look at the completed listings for them on ebay some of them have gone for less than half that.

I got a film nikon with 3 lenses 2x tele converter and 3 macro tubes for under £100

the guy was gutted as he paid a fortune for it new

Its a fair point and worth doing but remember you get what you pay for , i've looked at a few on Ebay and although can be cheap doesn't mean they are any good !

Very true, but most people want digi now thats why they go for so little and a lot of the new
DSLR dont take the older style lenses which is crap.

the only film cameras that have kept their price is some o the pro SLRs or medium formats like the hasleblad etc, which now can be converted to digi

I've picked up most of my Bronica medium format gear off Ebay for a fraction of what they were going for a couple of years ago. I still quite like using film, although I have been using my Canon 300D more but I never get round to making prints as often as I should do from it.
I can see there being a generation that has no family photo album as I believe people will make less prints from digital medium.

I know what you mean but the price of having stuff developped on the street is shocking
i was looking in a place today for other murchandise to offer when i do my shoots, key rings/ mouse mats etc
and a guy bought a colour film and it cost him £4.50 Eek
and i think they said to develop it would be arround £7

The pro lab i will be using charges me 50p for 12x8 and their biggest size is only £1
i think 8x5 are 15p

No it was a soft box on the top left (as you look at the image) and a shoot through brolly on the right just to cut out any posible shadows.
