<\/p>\nWell I just bought another film camera. This one was purchased for the exorbitant sum of 1 cent!<\/p>\n
Yep, one cent, with a flash and a bag too. And when I won the auction the seller asked “So do you want to come and pick it up? Or should I post it?” um… I couldn’t find a 1 cent piece and it was located interstate so it was posted…
\nI took a quick photo of it you can see below. I also managed to find an original lens cover for it that was in the bag of accessories I bought a week or so ago, so that was a nice surprise too.<\/p>\n
The camera has a great little multi coated 4 element D.Zuiko 40mm f2.8 lens that I’ve seen produce some brilliant results. It doesn’t use any batteries but has a solar-powered selenium light meter with an automatic mode and two shutter speeds (1\/200 in auto mode and 1\/40 for flash sync). Everything works perfectly on it, but I need to replace a light seal as the camera is pretty old. I think its one of the earlier models, they were made from 1967- 1984. Quite a long time.
\nI’ve already put a roll of film in it with the dodgy light seals just for fun. I wonder if any will turn out.<\/p>\n

Yeah, it needs a clean too…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
