    @SamHennessy Thanks! There are a few shots that I really love in this set. And, the ones that I don't normally wouldn't see the light of day, and won't beyond this first posting.

    Fun camera! Some of the photos really lend themselves well with the fish-eye distortion.

    Good luck in the $50 Film Project.

    Film rocks!

I'm trying to put in practice what I learned through my first role to see if I can get a higher percentage of decent shots per roll. It's not like digital where I don't care if I take 27 shots to get 1 good one. :)

    Tina, there is a button on the front you need to slide over to the "on" position. It does require a battery in the compartment on the bottom in order for it to work, though.
