Very Interesting Camera
Unfortunately, the second day I had this camera I dropped it on a concrete sidewalk, being paranoid I immediately took a roll of film and all was ok, net result, a bit of paint rubbed off.
It can be very finicky loading film, Fuji Color is not easy, Kodak goes thru with ease.
I,ve now shot quite a bit of film, the results were (to be honest) excellent, the camera handles well, the viewfinder is clear and bright, the instruction sheet while trying in a vain attempt to be funny does give use information very well.
Tried some double exposures, worked great, not having auto focus or any focusing aid other then a lever giving you a scale, metric no less, I am an American and am used to metric measurements, so, no problem, once you get used to it, its quick easy and so much faster than digital hunting for its target.
Why I spent $250.00 for a 1950,s this I don't know, but I am getting to like this thing, every shot I took, was razor sharp
| Pros | Cons |

| really and generally works well and is alot of fun, although not worth the money. | setting the ASA is very stupid and clumsy, a tiny wheel, and an even tinier window to see what you are doing, almost impossible to see what you,ve just set, especially if you are wearing bifocals, this really needs some fixing, cannot believe they went into production with this good, someone is nut using his brain. |
