Good news first: I now have film in my MTL3. Not Tri-X - Ilford HP5 Plus 400 - but film none the less. I was wandering past a branch of Jessops, popped in and that was all they had. I've been taking some happy snaps so watch this space for news of the result - I haven't actually established that the camera is working yet.
The bad news: my Sigma 50mm macro lens has developed a fault. The focusing ring has jammed such that I can't focus any closer than 0.6 m, which is pretty useless for a macro lens. A return to works job, I'm afraid and no more flower images in the meantime.
Oh well. The summer garden is almost over and I do have a fair few images backed up which will hopefully tide me over until my lens is fixed.
