Had the me super out over the weekend. What a viewfinder never ceases to amaze me the brightness of it. But again as the title post states value = disposable. This will still be working long after a lot of the current crop of consumer cams are propping up a land fill somewhere.
Jason shakes head in dispair
SFX performed well and came back in one piece, now I just have to get the film processed.

The 35-70 is quite handy though just because it's hardly any bigger than a 50mm prime.
Through various such purchases I now have 2x SFX bodies and a Z-10 which I have no particular use for, still it should keep me in 'disposables' for a while.

The reason why is kinda sad though:
I'm going to Alton Towers and I want to take a camera. There was a time when I'd have taken a disposable to such an outing, but film SLRs are now so cheap on Ebay it actually makes more sense to take a "proper" camera. Especially since I bought the SFX for the lens(es) which came with it, so it was effectivly free.
Don't you think that's sad?

however you will need to cut back the little ISO indicator tab or the Auto 110 will think the 400 asa is actually a 200 asa and over expose.
The link for film in my previous post has some info on the cassette issues...
Last time I bought 110 film in Jessops it was indeed Kodak 400.

I take the SFX out in preference only if I think I might want to hand it to someone else. Stick it in P with AF switched on and it's point and click.
I'd forgotten how much I like being able to go from P to Av just by turning the aperture ring.
