I am loading this camera up with some Fuji I had stored in my freezer for years. I'm hoping the film is still good. I plan on shooting 2 rolls. Does anyone know of a processing store that still dips? I would like to send these rolls to a quality developer somewhere in the states. There was a store in Chicago that dipped up until 05, then they closed up shop.
This camera is very much like the Nikon EM but doesn't feel as solid as the Nikon. I have aperture priority and bulb on this camera plus I can adjust my exposure value up to 2 stops either way. There is not a lot of flexibility with this camera as far as creative control, but as long as it is operating correctly, it should be able to produce decent images. I landed the camera with the kit lens for 12.00 dollars plus a 9.99 ship fee. I actually was going to part this camera out, as i wanted the PK mount, but it arrived looking very nice and operational. Everything checks fine, even the self timer, so now film is going in for a test run.

Well looking at a very small world map Canada only looks a few miles away from Chicago  ...this firm moved from the UK to Canada and is recommended by UK guys, I don't know if they do dip but are reliable.

I shot a roll of Fuji-film 400 through this camera. The film expired 2005 but was kept in the freezer. The film is fairly grainy, but the lab did an decent job with it. I sent this roll to a place in California called The Darkroom. > https://thedarkroom.com/ < I have a roll of Reala headed up to Canada, but I ran that roll through a Pentax ME.

Hi guys, thanks for stopping in and taking a peek.
I was surprised that old film held out as well as it did.
