Somehow I ended up with two of these bodies. The first having worse seals than the second I shot the latter first and am happy with my purchase and early steps in rangefinder photography.
Kodak supercolour, processed locally and scanned to cd downloaded to my computer. All straight from the negative therefore and untweaked by me.
Onboard flash is a bit harsh:
Better without it sometimes
This one is cropped

Well many cameras would have a problem with the first shot, but you are starting to get results, with 35mm film, near to your expensive DSLR....and that can be a hobby in itself (i.e. producing the best results out of old camera gear bought for peanuts)

Yes, I'm pleasantly surprised and being a cheapskate cannot believe how much kit can be bought for do little.

It looks a lot like my Vivitar (cosina) RF. Very nice.
