I found one of these in the Goodwill store down the street, and thought it had some promise. I just gave it a quick look before I took it to the check-out counter, and when I got home, dicovered that someone had put a finger through the shutter. No big loss I figured, it will look great on the collection shelf. But I kept looking at that 1.9/40mm, and decided to get a working model. I like it!

This one looks like a keeper. I like the "loose rocks" picture, nice composition. The one of the mare, Lunch Time, is also great!

Must be an age thing with me, P&Sers are about the only cameras I have used lately, sort of lean towards Oly Stylus Epics, Think I may have at least 10 of them :rolleyes:
I also liked the 'mare' photo, but they all turned out well cept one, not bad for one roll, I usually get two or three 'keepers from a roll :p

Oh, don't worry Ron, there was more than one bad shot. But then I was using a camera that I didn't bother to read the manual before I headed out the door. Mostly it was my getting too close for the auto-focus to operate correctly, but the metering is really good.
Thanks, Julio. Although I'm looking for shots that will put the camera to work, I see no reason why they can't be somewhat interesting too.

Very nice. I love that people are dumping all their old analog camera equipment, just means more for us!

Look and think before opening the shutter. The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera.

I bought my Dad one of these for Christmas ca. 1981. Except for my wife's digital, I think it still rates as the "new" camera in the household!

Those are cool old cameras for sure. I like Loose Rock Dam as a favorite. Wonderful color !
