Never bought anything from ebay before, but i have done my homework, i have watched ebay for some time and knew the best way to win an item. Just wait for an hour before an action ends, and see how it goes.
I had a target of paying no more than £10. I ended up paying just £4.
The camera arrived within three days, so well done to the seller, very prompt service, and the goods were in better conditioned than i had imagined.
The camera weighs a ton, well not literally, but it is very heavy. Can feel the extra weight in my camera bag.
Asthetically, i think its a pretty little camera. And it draws attention to itself without heing seen as a threat. It it quite comfortable to hold on to, but the focus ring, which is located on the lens barrel, is a little stiff, but this is common in these camera's. Also on the lens barrel is the shutter speed and aperture speed rings.
Today i went out with some Fuji Superia 200 speed film, around my hometown. I decided to use a colour film, and gave myself 20 minutes to use the roll up and take it in the towns local lab to be processed, and here are the results.
One must remember that this is a manual camera, does not have a built in light meter as all modern day camera's do. And it has been many many long years since i last use a manual camera, and i am actually quite impressed with the results i have produced.
The sky was grey, very little detail, but the film has rendered the sky exactly as it was in that moment in time.
Overall i am more than pleased with the camera. Yes, vigenetting is apparent but i think it adds character to images.
I have a few more rolls that were given to me by my father, so i will probably use them up next week or sooner.
