Is Pistol Bazaar a real film photo booth or a digital one?

We list only analog booths, but we haven't confirmed the machine details for this one. If you've used it, tell us what it is.

One strip of four shots. The machine takes the four in quick succession, then develops the strip on the spot — usually three to five minutes before it drops into the slot.

Can I get into Pistol Bazaar with a wheelchair or a pram?

We haven't checked access at this venue. Classic booths have a fixed bench and a curtain, so the booth itself is a tight fit; the venue's own access is the thing to ask them about.
