Yes Steve, that's a real dog! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder though, or so they say (although I'm glad I don't have to behold that one too often

)

I handled all three cameras back in the day and am surprised that any of them sold.

Wow... that is... weird. Kind of like "Daft Punk" does photography

I have my own ugly duckling camera lurking in the back of my cupboard, in new / unused condition (and it will probably remain that way, as I can never be seen on the street with it)...

Found it. Olympus Ecru! Its fairly rare I think. Its a MJU I /stylus infinity in a different body. Looks fantastic!

Yes indeed

Basically an Olympus Mju / Stylus in a white tuxedo

Actually, given that, it's probably a decent camera, albeit fully automatic...

EDIT: I have a whole bunch of 35mm compact cameras that I collected while dipping my toe in the world of "Lomography"... Some of them are truly awful things, while others are reasonably decent and capable of taking good photos. Unlike the guy that was operating them

Yes. The MJU i has got quite a nice lens. Great find and definitely worth taking out for s**ts and giggles

Yeah, I'm glad they put "On" and "Off" on there, otherwise I'd be tempted to crank the thing round to get the engine started

Quiet as a mouse (mirror and motor drive are virtually inaudible)

I was in a second-hand shop last week and debated over getting an EOS 50 for €18 or not and in the end I left it. They had another one in what looked like the same condition for €60. Strange.

I don't want to start building up EOS cameras but I need to get myself a fast 50 (but not the f/1.8 mk II).

I love Pentax kit so much but, I managed to buy an EF 85mm f/1.8 for £120. I definitely couldn't do that with Pentax, which is a real shame. Good job I can use both. I also got a MK 1 metal mount EF 50 1.8 for £50. There's so much EOS glass out there its dirt cheap. I'm not about to jump ship though because..I don't have to. I can shoot both.

I have a rather lovely (read old) Zenit 12xp and a set of third party lenses. Can I post it here?

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. Any ideas on which siteto use to post images, then link then here? The instagram square doesn't really work!
