I don't get out much, so don't find many bargains. I picked this camera up for $2 at a flea market, still in it's case, amongst a table of point & shoots. I don't think it's ever been used. The battery was good though and the meter accurate. I've since treated it to a 46mm ND4 filter so I can get a little more control outdoors (it chooses it's own shutter/aperture combo) so I'll post some of those when I'm done. Film was fuji/something 400, just some level adjustments. Build isn't too bad, rewind crank is pretty flimsy. Nice little camera! Auto exposure film is a nice change for me, although it did better outdoors.
