As I was saying in the other post, I ws looking for a MX and ended up with two. A crazy lucky bid, never thought I'd won, but I did :) Good thing too cuz it just arrived and it is gorgeous. The other one was very nice, no dents, no serious deterioration but some brassing. This one (the one on the left) is even nicer, very litle marks anywhere. But I can't keep them both, so one of them (guess which :P) will be leaving. I just bought some Ilford 400 BW and will be trying it out. I might replace them light seals on both and put the one on the right for sale. BTW, this also came in with the MX:

I cleaned the screen on my MX with lighter fluid on a cotton bud (very gently) then left it to air dry (lighter fluid leaves no residue). Worked for me

Done, replaced screen, gave it some vigorous puffs with the blower and its very clean now (not perfect).

So, Ilford HP5 ISO400 loaded, and Tammy 24mm on.
So from tomorrow I can start snapping film again
I noticed you can actually close down the kit lens by using the lever, which is obvious but left me surprised.
So I'm gonna get some really wide angles (with lots of vignetting).

I don't think I'll use this first roll to have my first go at dark room development. I want to check the camera is ok, not me messing up afterwards...
