Yes and Resonably priced too I thought.Thanks for the info, that is not a company that I was aware of, they also have some interesting cameras.
My rolls arrived today from SECOND-HAND DARKROOM SUPPLIES Err strange .
Looks like it , I wish them well.I read that Second Hand Darkroom Supplies had spun off a separate company for selling non-darkroom stuff - so perhaps Analogue Cameras is that company.
Yes, it is very easy to replace light seals, I have various thicknesses of both foam and felt that I have used on several cameras. Usually it is easy to spot a sticky or crumbling foam but I had not noticed this before, the last film (APX100) was un affected. I am probably my own wort enemy in that I don't use a camera bag preferring to just carry a camera by it's shoulder strap, I have to admit it was a very bright day on Friday when I used this film.A bit of black insulating tape over the film detail viewing window should stop stray light and if that does prove to be the source of the fogging, the window's light seals could be replaced to stop the leaks in the future.
I'm interested in this since I was going to order some until it asked for £30 postage to Highland. We're used to being ripped off by couriers, but that was particularly excessive, so no sale.I just spoke to Dan at https://www.analoguecameras.co.uk/ after a delivery charge hiccup (on the website) which he sorted immediately.
What a perfect gentleman he is - I shall keep my eye on his used camera stocks and buy from him again for sure. I'm now waiting for this film to try . . .

It was publicised last year that SHD that after going off line last year then reopened with a second company Analogue Cameras sharing the same premises The boss is the same and the items they sell are the same selection but apparently there was an opportunity to place the 'photographic ancillaries' and cameras seperate from each other but complimenting one another.I read that Second Hand Darkroom Supplies had spun off a separate company for selling non-darkroom stuff - so perhaps Analogue Cameras is that company.
A tip from way back was to put a bit of chicken foil behind the tape, if you tape over the window. Some of the thiner tapes let IR light through which could affect some films. Thay said things like duct tape is probably plenty thick enough.Yes, it is very easy to replace light seals, I have various thicknesses of both foam and felt that I have used on several cameras.

I have printed 3 negatives and there were very easy with no shading really necessary. The contrast was a bit higher than I like and for one I had to resort to Gd1 MG 4 paper. The other 2 printed normally on Gd 1.5. I also enlarged one negative to the equivalent of 16" wide (20x16 print) which is bigger than I can handle, my dishes only go up to 12x16. The print was central section of one of the other negs printed onto Multigrade paper using filtration of Gd 1.5. The quality held up and the same filter was used and only a close inspection were you able to see grain.It was publicised last year that SHD that after going off line last year then reopened with a second company Analogue Cameras sharing the same premises The boss is the same and the items they sell are the same selection but apparently there was an opportunity to place the 'photographic ancillaries' and cameras seperate from each other but complimenting one another.
For what it is worth, the single roll I have tried so far suggests that the grain is slightly coarser although that may be as a result of a direct scan so a scan of a print my show there is little or no difference. The negatives were certainly good and sharp with contrast that was easy to handle, let me see it that holds up when wet processed.
Good results, PeterI used some after a 'Clip Test' in my 1965 LEICA M2 on a trip to Brick Lane with some Camera Club / FLICKR Mates and did it in my home-made 2-bath Formula for 4.5 Mins each bath @ 20oC and got great negs but TOO HOT to do Darkroom Printing at the moment so only Neg Scans --

I think Dan Kerin deserves our support as he has invested loads of DOSH into this project
