I recently put a roll through a Braun Paxette (the fixed lens 45mm version) that I fixed up. It has a pretty sharp lens which isn't coated, so flare is a consideration. I do have a hood and filters for it though, so future rolls can be better controlled!
Film was Kentmere 400 which is grainy, but not too bad. Rodinal didn't help in terms of grain, but it's all I have and I did 1+50 to ease the grain a bit. Negs were dried in my new home-built negative dryer and were a pleasure to spot :)

A couple taken on Colorplus 200 with an Olympus IS1000 - this is a film bridge camera. Built in 35-135mm lens and an SLR style moving mirror and viewfinder. Nice camera with a good lens, but I don't think I'll hold on to it - I'm preferring more manual options at the moment.

I got my Grandad's camera, a Super Finetta from 1951 or so with a 45mm f2.8 lens from my mam last time I was home and gave it a good cla. As it has no meter, a tiny viewfinder and the shutter speeds tested "ok", I thought I'd only risk a roll of Poundland Kodak Colorplus for the first few shots. I'm impressed - it's a Tessar lens from what I can see, so it's pretty sharp and has an interesting rendition. I'm also happy that my focus estimation wasn't too bad!
Two sample shots:

Here's a few from a roll of Boots' slide film I put through the Super A. Four of us went up Cleeve Common outside Cheltenham to watch the sun set over the Malverns. It was a good one, and I was very happy with the results - though if anything I feel like I could have made even more from the light if I had more experience with film.

You'd think the sun shines out....

The GWR steam railway had a steam and ale festival a couple of weekends ago. In keeping with the oldtimer spirit, I brought the Pentax SP500 with a roll of Boot's prepaid slide film. It's ISO 200 and Fuji branded. I like getting a pack of slides in the post!
1. Incoming
2. Back it up a bit!
3. It's basically a kettle
I had a couple of shots left at the end of the day, which worked out well when I saw this on Cleeve Common the next day!

It's Fuji Superia 400, scanned on a Nikon Coolscan IV
Yeah, the Lynx is a very nice rangefinder. I got mine for about $40, but it needed some work. The meter isn't working, but everything else about it is now in top form.

My experiments with old film cameras continue!
Yashica Lynx 5000 - it's a fixed lens rangefinder with a 45mm f1.8 lens from the mid 60s:
F1.8 on 35mm gives a narrow depth of field!
The light just worked here for me:
