Foth Derby Camera

[Andysnap]

Hi All,

Don't know if anyone knows anything about these but thought you may be interested. I went round to my mum's and we got to talking about cameras she had owned (her dad, my grandad was a semi-pro and owned a really nice Leica) and she said that she had found this in the back of a cupboard. I've done a little research and it seems to have been a reasonable camera in its day. Unfortunately its a bit tatty now but may still work if I could find some 127 film for it.





Cheers

Andy

Oo maa gawd, that's very crusty, but like you say it might still work.

How do you know it shoots 127 ?

Ok, I figured it out, it shoots a 35mm frame on 127..

I think only Efke and Maco still make 127

Retrophotographic have some at £5.50 a roll

£5.50 a roll bl**dy hell. I think I'll give it back to my mum. Annoyingly she can't find the Leica she thinks it may have been swapped for 2 Prakticas :bang:

you could always cut 120 down and re-spool...
