Here we go. Only putting up a few - clicking on any of them will take you through to the album.

I have put myself at the mercy of the lab who did the developing, scanning and printing (I think it's a Fujifilm lab somewhere in Quebec, because all my failed shots come back labelled sous-expose). All of the images were scanned upside down for some reason, but apart from the obligatory rotation to correct this, no post-processing work has been applied by me.

I think it has a very seventies feel for some reason, despite the modern (Kodak Gold 400, expires 2017) emulsion.

I took a look, it looks like the camera is a rolling film

You mean a cinematic look? No wonder the Canon videographers want our Takumars!

Good results. It might be dirty, but I bet the internals are quite good. Not that dodgy?

I called it that because it was a battered up parts camera, sold with absolutely no expectation of reliable function. It has surprised me.
