Only had 5 films through it. It cost me £20 with two lens, I cant wait to give it a whirl at Oulton tomorrow

Thanks Matt

Remember - DONT LOOK AT THE BACK AFTER SHOOTING - Ive used a film camera few times and you look a right wally when you think its digital

Nice purchase Id love to get a medium format camera to go that extra distance with film

Regards, James

I know nothing about film (or digital for that matter), but that looks a lot of camera for £20! An ebay purchase?

Looks the Bizzo Matt, Enjoy.......

It won't last, £7 for a 36 shot film and developing, the novelty will soon wear off, excellent price though, the lenses alone are worth 4x that

I have just picked up a F65 with the 70-300 and 28-80mm lenses, silver body but the lenes are black.
I will take this into more ropy places than my EOS3.

That was my thoughts Geordi, but when it comes to it I won't take it out in the rain, but do take out on the beach at dusk.

I would put up a fight for the D300, but With the FE, would say "hey,it's a old film camera ,thirty years oldd...you want THIS?" :shrug:
