I had a look at C220s but I worried that not cocking the shutter automatically would get on my nerves so I dipped into my savings and payed out for the body of a c330. I'm a student so was on a budget but i was lucky enough to work a job full time last summer so I have a decent reserve of money to waste on cameras that should be obsolete by now.
I'm looking forward to Covid coming to a close (so like 12 months now maybe haha) and getting out to properly enjoy this camera other than taking photos with my housemates.
Again thank you all for the advice, it's very kind of everyone. Once I've put a few rolls through it I'm hoping to turn my room into a temporary darkroom which should be fun and good use of the time I have at the moment.
Thanks again,
Sky

A wise decision, my C3 had no inter-lock between wind and shutter and that can be an issue,however as I only used it for colour (or with a 55mm lens) alongside my C33 a with B&W it was really only used for sessions and I wound on after every shot and cocked the shutter.
I have similar issues using a Rolleicord or MPP Microcord tehy don't have inter-linked shutter, I find it a major down side to both cameras.
If you're shooting protests you need to work fast. I used 35mm in the anti Tahtcher protests of the early 1970's while shooting for the NUS.
