This is my second ever rangefinder and coincidentally my second Balda Rangefinder! I probably paid about £5 too much, but it looks like fun!

Funny purchase!
Not too expensive IMHO; it has a nice lens!
Does the lightmeter still work? |

I will be able to test the meter when it arrives. The last Balda I had, a Baldessa was surprisingly well made for a cheaper camera and the the meter worked fine on it, so fingers crossed. |

Congrats, if it performs as well as my Balda Baldamatic II (which looks similar) you have got a great performer!.

Thanks folks!
The camera arrived today and all seems to be working and mainly clean.
Jes: The back of this comes off totally for film loading and I see that the edge of the back plate fits into a recess all the way round, but I don't see any felt material for light sealing. Does your Baldamatic have felt in the recesses?
edit: I just re-read your thread and got my answer in one of your posts - no light seal felt! |

I started the first test roll and then the big dark clouds came over to compliment the cold wind. 
My first impression is that the exposure meter isn't working, at least in any way that I can work out. It has an automatic, shutter priority exposure feature, and I have taken some shots on auto and some on manual using a hand held meter just to make sure it isn't working.
Tomorrow, the forecast is for brighter weather and I hope to be able to finish the test. |
