Rest in peace Tony!

I remember going to London back in the late 1990s and visiting the Widescreen Centre as one of the first cine shops I ever visited. I even shot some super8 of the shop from the outside street. I bought some Svema, russian Super8 films there which I still have 1 unexposed laying around somewhere here.
