Hi-res images are here

Slide expired in 2000 , seems it was stored well Laughing I was very excited about this camera because I did guess stunning quality and this fever I didn't measure shutter what is essential for slides on old folders. Result is only two frame was exposed well others are over exposed Sad and this wasn't enough from trouble all frames are over lapped due I can't find any information about proper loading Twisted Evil in fact I did try to search even on Japanese websites I found only one page with sample pictures another page with fixing instruction that is it, nothing else.
Camera has frame counter and double exposure prevention , so proper loading is essential.

What supremely crappy lens and camera, you will want to send this to me
for proper disposal. Wink Smile Laughing

And a coupled RF to boot, NICE!

Astia, good film choice. Cool

I don't know of any sites that have the manual for free, but this site has one for 8 pounds.

You soon will be able to make a necklace of shots from this Pearl.

Of course, I would like to see some black and white pearls, perhaps Agfa 50 in Rodinal ... Twisted Evil

The photos are nice, it's obviously worth making the effort to get it right.

For FP4, see my latest (Qatar) post in the B&W forum.

Thank you Paul! I will take a look on it, how do you compare this film with others for example Tri-X etc.

I don't know Tri-X. I sort of grew up with FP4 and HP4. FP4 is a nice fine-grained film.
