  • Our testing process

We take pride in offering our customers a wide selection quality, tested film cameras. Every camera listed on our site has been thoroughly tested with both batteries and film to ensure its full range of functions are working. Our checks include; testing the shutter, winder, film rewind, light meter, aperture, shutter speeds, ISO, focus, self timer and many more functions depending on the camera.

We do occasionally sell cameras with minor faults providing they do not impact the function of the camera too much. Any fault will be clearly stated in the product description or shown in the listing photos.

  • 60-Day Guarantee

All camera purchases are covered by our 7-day return guarantee to allow adequate time for our customers to shoot and develop their first film and make sure they are happy with the results. Our guarantee covers any fault that is not clearly listed in the product description or shown in the listing photos.

  • Returns

As our cameras are all second hand a level of wear should be expected from general use, please thoroughly inspect the photos & descriptions before making your purchase. 

When choosing a camera please keep in mind that older vintage cameras are likely to produce imperfect images. If the vintage look is not for you, or you are unsure of the type of image a certain camera will produce, make sure to contact us prior to purchasing. 

In the unlikely event that you are not completely satisfied with your camera purchase, you have 60-days from delivery to start a return (See our 7-day guarantee). As the buyer you will need to cover the cost of the return and we strongly recommend you use a tracked & insured delivery option.

Refunds will be processed once the product has been returned in the same condition it was sent out in.
