A couple weeks ago, I was digging through one of the drawers in the kitchen (everyone has a drawer like this), and found a roll of film. Fujicolor superia x-tra 400. I was trying to think back to when my wife would have had a film camera, and I'm thinking it is at least 18 years ago. My wife had the point and shoot style, so that's probably why we had it. I only had those cheap disposable cameras
for mountain bike trips.
So I started reading through all these different threads about "which SLR should I get"...then started browsing auctions...and after reading all that good technical information and taking notes from those making suggestions, I went with the one with the red strap.
. To be honest, it just looked cool, and $18 wasn't to bad of a price.
ME Super with a winder and a nice red strap (no lens). It seems to be in decent shape. No torque marks on any of the screws, the battery compartment is shiny and clean. A chunk of the light seal did come flying out when I used the rocket blower (now I know what those are). I already found a complete set of seals for the camera, and will be ordering those later.
I just wanted to share a little about my first SLR film camera. Hopefully, I'll be able to share some pictures later on.
