That's got to be marked here somehow ?

Let's face it, it won't be anywhere else  ;D

Oh man. I miss my Primo Jr. It had such a bright finder. Too bad the shutter didn't quite work. I'll have to get another one one day.

I was given a baby brownie by my Gran that was once my Grandfathers. I took a roll of family pictures with it and framed the results for her. here is a pic of me and the dog from that roll (obviously taken by someone else).

had a couple unexposed rolls hanging around somewhere, will see if I still have them.

A cracking Format and no mistake.

I love 127. Haven't shot of much of it in the last 5 years, but I have a Purma Plus and several Coronet 4x4 MkIIs which have served me well in the past:

Very nice...
Sad thing is, I have a ton of old 127 cameras that I never used, including a Zeiss Baby Box, a Kodak Bullet and a Kodak Flashmite (or something like that) that looks so 60's...

Britt uses a ton of 127 in her baby Rolleiflex so maybe she will post something..I just got a Bencini Comet but haven't shot anything since I repaired the faulty shutter..

Maybe a 127 postcard exchange later in the year?

Just burned through a role of the R100 I traded with Andrea a while back. Used it in the Eastman Bullet at the Glenfinnan Viaduct. Gonna "waste" a few rolls I reckon.

arghh!
I have a roll of 127 half used in a Brownie Starmite.  I adore that little camera and cute rolls of film it takes.
I should be punished I know, but too much film, so little time...something like that comes to mind.

Oh wait, there can never be too much film I reckon.   ;D

That's pretty much why I try and keep a minimum of cameras loaded at a time...
