My current film Yashica had to have serious open heart surgery on the weekend and I fear it's days may be numbered... Which wonderfully leads me to an upgrade smile

The Olympus 35 SP looks a perfect fit for me, but I'm struggling to find one with a case in decent condition on the normal channels (not to mention my dream wish list of a black one).

Anyone got any suggestions on where I should be looking when buying an old film camera like this (eBay has limited supply so the prices are pretty high at the moment vs what they were ore Christmas).

Suggestions appreciated.

I presume you've looked at Ffordes, MPB, Misfuds, Aperture etc? Maybe worth letting them know you're on the lookout.

It does seem that nowadays ebay is the most universal source for stuff like this.

Thanks for the suggestions, really useful. I think I may have tracked one down on another forum otherwise it might be just a waiting game on ebay.

This looks like a bit of a bargain if the price doesn't skyrocket: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Very-Clean-Tested-Olympu...

Thanks Will. I've actually tracked down a black version AND convinced the wife to let me spend a bit more to get it ( lucky timing I think).

it's an investment, not an expense... yes
