Just got this old Zeon watch working over the weekend, which was in a lot I bought for a tenner. There was some battery leakage inside, but nothing too severe, so it cleaned up very well.

I have temporarily fitted it with a Casio 18mm tapered strap from a A168 that was also in the lot until a new 20mm tapered strap arrives.

I can't find any info about this watch online. The case back is stamped with 2608. It has an alarm, light, stopwatch, and countdown timer plus cool animations of the lcd analogue segments.

Has anyone else come across one of these before?

Despite a few missing screws and other parts from this old lens, plus clouds appearing right on cue, I think my pictures came out reasonably ok.

Has anyone tried using glass mirror paint to fix or help reduce the desilvering?

I saw this in Hobby Craft the other day and it got me thinking...

I have no idea how these have been stored or if the canisters have been opened. Condition of the boxes suggests to me they probably haven't been frozen or refrigerated.

The boxes have flaps, so it's possible the canisters have been opened. What would the impact be if they were opened up in daylight?

I recently bought a lot of expired Ilford FP4+ films, which included four canisters. The seller wasn't sure whether they had been opened. I decided to open them up inside a changing bag and discovered they all had film canisters inside.

Taking one out of the bag and expecting it to be Ilford film, I found that the cannisters are labelled Agfachrome 50S, Agfachrome 50L, and Agfachrome 50S.

However, I then noticed today that the film leaders all have HP4 stamped on them. Does this mean these are Ilford HP4?
