Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Daughter brought it home from the thrift shop.
After a couple of fresh SR-44 batteries replaced, the meter works, and the shutter fires.

I have a very old roll of kodak 400 C-41 B&W film in it now.
Took a bit of cleaning, and I still don't have all the cig smoke and house dust off it yet.
Through the viewfinder is a bit dark, but this is an old early to mid 70's camera.
I'm kind of curious how the 45mm Rokkor X is gonna work out.
This definitely won't be long term- the nikon pile makes this about as much sense as fried eggs on broccoli, but that's what happens when gifted by family...

Regards,

Doc Sharptail
