Online & On the High Street
Not Quite North isn’t your average photography shop...
It’s a creative hideaway for analogue lovers, curious collectors, and anyone drawn to the magic of old-school image-making.​
We’ve got a physical shop right here on Lincoln High Street, where you can pop in for a chat while getting your film developed, flick through zines, or browse hundreds of cameras that never make it online.
​From rare gems to everyday shooters, we've got shelves full of photographic goodness — and a team who love nothing more than talking film.
Check out our guide to the best cameras for beginners under £100. All of these are 35mm used film cameras that have been thoroughly tested and are guaranteed to work.
We are always happy to help if you need any advice. We were all beginners once, so there are no silly questions! Drop us a message on our Instagram or our contact form. We have also included beginner-friendly 35mm camera film to get you started.






is my camera tested?
what camera is best for beginners?
what film do I need?
YES! We battery test, film test and develop a roll of film from all of our cameras we sell. Nothing makes it to the website without going through this process. This way we can guarantee you will get a working camera.
Starting film photography can be daunting. But don't worry, we help beginners out all the time! Drop us a dm on Instagram and Ross will be happy to answer any questions or give you suggestions on where to start.

The type of camera you own determines the type of film you use. Some cameras only do 35mm, some are medium format, others large format.
