Absolutely chuffed with this. I shoot a mix of film (1930s rolleiflex and various old 35mm cameras) and digital (a Canon 6D which I love), and for the longest time I've wanted something compact - nearly plumping for a fuji x100 of some kind, or the other street shooters choice, the ricoh grii. However, I found this in a charity shop for £4 and had a good feeling - it looked right, was small and even if it was a cheap and nasty, it'll do for me.
It's in great nick, works perfectly after fitting new batteries (that cost much more than the camera!) and for about £15 I'm able to shoot all my old pound land film from a fixed 35mm compact with auto focus, a close up mode and a date back! (which is set to 1993 as the earliest available year that is equivalent to 2022, as it stops at 2020!).
Anyone else used one? It's a charming thing with genuinely thought out design. For example, I get 26 shots from a 24 roll of film. It has a built in flash I can force on for shooting in bright conditions, and the motors whirring have that charming 80s retro-futuristic sound I love.
