Pardon the quick n' dirty 4x6 print scans. They look a bit better than you're seeing here. I'm going to have fun with this camera. 😎

I snapped off another roll of film. This time, Walgreens Studio 35 (Fuji) ISO 400. I like it much better than the Kodak equivalent. Here's a few from the Chicago Auto Show. I just set it to 10 FT, and made sure it was always showing at least f/5.6 so (per instructions) everything is in focus. I have to say the pics were effortless as long as my movement didn't blur the photo, but the bright lights and shiny paint confused the light meter a few times.

Beautiful. I like the dyptics. You get the minilab to print them without leaving the edges of the negatives out? Good for you!

The lens performed quite well - an auto show environment with lots of brilliant lights is prone to bring out potential flare problems.
