Picked up this camera at a local resale shop for $11.

Haven't processed the film yet and was wondering about quality. Anybody used this model??
 
i am looking at these on the auction site, actually. glad you brought this up.
i did see a link you might like. i think the two bottom photos were taken with the MC, but my browser is mangling the text, so i cannot be sure:

this link shows an image more certainly taken by the MC:

please share any comments you have on this camera. i am feeling the ebay trigger figer about these...now that i realize they are somewhat small.
how small is the camera compared to others?
 
I've got a GTN covered in black Ostrich leg skin from cameraleather.com. I really luv it's near silent operation, but not it's long advance lever throw.
 
Bill, are you talking about GTN or call black MC a [small] GTN?

I find advance on MC more consistent than on adult Electro, maybe it's just lack of clunk. It's better street camera compared to G-series - small, unobtrusive.

For short throw I like KAS series, but that ratcheted sound makes me feeling like "hey people, just look at my camera !!!" :)
