That was some good luck!

Your ap/shutter rings don't sound right. I wouldn't say that mine have any king of looseness or give so I don't think that is normal. If anything I'd say mine are a touch stiff, though they move smoothly and click into place firmly.

After I got used to it, I find the EV system quite intuitive. Would be much easier if the damn meter worked consistently though!

I've finally shot through a roll so I'll get it developed tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Well it looks like this little beauty is still good Very Happy

Had a roll developed yesterday every shot came out ok. I only used a roll of cheap colour Kodak 400 that I came across. I would have liked to run another roll of bw400cn but it was four times the price.

Anyway here are some shots! I lost the bit of paper i wrote down all the shutter speeds and apertures, but considering every shot came out ok, and I deliberately used every aperture and shutter speed I don't think I have anything to worry about.

Looks like the meter is good too - when it decides to work that is. Now i just have to decide if I want to spend AUD$100 to have it repaired.

All shots as is from lab scans only resizing.

Stupid woman stuck her bum in my face just as I took the picture !

There's more but I'm sure you don't want to see too many of my daughter Laughing

funny, I meant to take shots of other things, especially some to test for barrel distortion etc...
