I did, yes. And I misspoke before - it was actually leftoever bulk film (around 4 or 5 rolls worth) in a loader I picked up not to long back. I asked him and he said it was at *least* 10 years old... not a fair test of it by any means. Some frames have obvious age fogging and there are some light contamination marks on a few edges - many other are perfectly fine for the most part. Maybe he had it in and out of the loader a couple times? Don't know. Anyhow - good looking stuff for several free 36exp rolls.

If you have any more of it, try shooting it at EI 80 or 64.

Awesome. I will. I've still a good 4 rolls-worth or so left. I just pulled it out of the loader a couple days ago to spool up some of the Svema Color 125 that I love so much but I have a canister or two still loaded from it. (I should have just loaded the rest but was out of canisters at the time.)

A couple of months ago Fuji Quicksnap single-use cameras were on offer in my local supermarket, so I picked a couple up. I had so much fun shooting my way through the first one with literally nothing to do except look through the massive viewfinder and snap. I got the film back today to scan and obviously it ain't beautiful but it has character and I had a good time with it, and isn't that what matters? I'll definitely be using these little things more from now on, particularly when I move to Japan in September, where there are several different types available.

My niece had three of those single use cameras from about 10 years ago. One Kodak, one Polaroid and one Fuji.
I processed the film after figuring out how to get them apart to get the film out, (Not that hard really).
I considered putting fresh film back in them and letting her shoot them up. Nah.

What I did do, was got a couple of the el cheap 135 non-focus thumbwheel with flash cameras.
Same stuff, cheap lens, simple, fun to use, cheap and easy to process, and they CAN be easily re-used.

If they get broken lost or stolen, so what? we can find replacements for about $5 on the bay site.

Kodak Ektar 100, Novar 75mm f:3.5 After a CLA , this will be my B&W 645 because I shoot ISO100, and the top shutter on this is 300, the Zenobia has a top shutter of 500, the lens is just as nice, and I can shoot Portra 400, which is going to be my go to color 120 film.

Two weeks ago we had a very warm day (+13ºC), heavy rain and a rapid snow melt. The sewer backed up......I'm now in the lull between having the basement torn out and the insurance company approving estimates for repairs, so a little chemical consolation is in order. After a couple of weeks I wasn't sure if I could remember how!
