A friend of mine has recently acquired a Contessa Nettel 'Cocarette'. It seems in reasonable order but can you still get film for these? I know there are quite a lot of old camera experts out there.......any help or advice greatly appreciated. In UK btw.
Thanks a lot Cherrill @Cherrill
@cherill there Is a camera shop In woking In Surrey , I am shaw that If your friend emailed the company I am sure they will send them out to her In the post Iam at work at the moment , I believe the company Is called Harpers If you would like I could conact you later with the correct address phone number and email address Gerry.
@Cherrill Also Cherill there Is Sussex camera shop In Chichester, again Icould find out the detais later , thats If you have no one from 365 has come up with a deff: detail. Gerry.
@38mm@Cherrill Look up the camera for a manual on Butkus or google. Probably uses 120 film. My Zeiss Ikon uses 120 film and takes 6x9 pictures. I generally buy it on eBay. I like to use Kodak Ektar 100 for colour and Ilford for black and white. If you use chromogenic film it can be developed using C41 color filmin most local labs.
@peterdegraaff Speaking of 120 film, I had a roll of Kodax TX 400 and processed it just like another and it was mostly clear and purple. Sad unhappy face right now. And the film did not even have the kodak on the edge so trying to decide if it was faux kodak or I messed up so completely. I have done three roles at home with accomplishment.
Hi Cherrill, I just the last two years switched from film to digital, and I used B&H camera in NY for my film they have all different sizes, I'm sure they have it..goggle it ...it may say B&H camera and video.... I bought my digital camera and lenses there. they are great to work with.
@iqscotland I thought of that and actually refixed it also. I have a silly rule that after I use the developer I put it away and then take out the fixer so I do not get confused. But thanks for that suggestion.
@peterdegraaff I may be leaning towards the ilford for the rest of the class.
@Cherrill Evening Cherrell the Address for Harpers Is 56-61 Commercial way Woking Surrey telephone number Is 01483 -756601, and closes at 5:30pm. Gerry.
yep it's 120 roll film, it works out expensive because you only get a small number of shots, (9-12-16) depending on the frame size, Jessops develop it for about £12 a roll, but I don't like their developing, but local camera shops can be expensive. I buy fujifilm 120 100 ISO off ebay and get it pretty cheap. There's a big fuji lab in Burnley which you can post stuff too, it does 120 for about £10
@peterdegraaff@Cherrill another place that I use to buy the film and also processing, and never had a problem also fair price. here is web site http://coopersimaging.com/
I use the 120 film in my 100+ year old Brownie Box Camera here is a shot I took with the camera last year I think maybe two years ago, time flys
@chewyteeth Agree. Develop, scan and print the ones digitally you like. @rrt Fabulous photo @brumbe I try to save paper, but really our electrical environmental footprint keeps growing

develop and scan I say, develop and scan.
develop, scan from neg, and print digitally then, or is printing digitally frowned upon, its what I did all through uni.
