Look what I finally found in my house. I've been looking everywhere to find this sweet system and I finally found it in the last place I looked. I think I need to hit Walmart for some film. :cool1: I looked up the camera on Wikipedia and it said it was orginally marketed to women and was intended to be used by inexperienced photographers who could not easily master the intricacies of shutter speeds and f-stops. Hey I resemble that statement! :rotfl:

I always have to laugh when people say this..of course you found it in the last place you looked, once you find something, who keeps looking in other places...:confused3 :cool1:

Just wondering if you went out to buy any film? I was looking the other day for 100 speed film at Walmart and was unable to find any. They had 200,400,800,& b&w. I just thought it was strange to find black & white, but no 100 speed film. Didn't find any at Target either. BTW, I think your camera is pretty cool !

Yes I did! The lowest speed I could find was 200, so I went with that. Walmart did have Kodak 110 film, remember that camera? :crazy2: It was so weird using the camera again, last time I used it was in 2000. I'm so used to using an LCD, it was strange to use a viewfinder again. I'm dying to see the pictures, but I still have 12 more to take. ;)

I decided a few weeks ago to get out my old Canon AE-1 Program and give it a try and after every shot I found myself looking for the LCD. My pictures didn't turn out like I wanted. I will blame this on the cheap processing from Sam's ( you know the one where they send it off for a couple of days) Oh well, I'll just have to try again.

That looks like the Nikon I have sitting in my closet. I was going to sell it on EBAY just didn't get around to it yet. What is the Model # on yours? Just curious. Thanks:)

It's a Nikon EM, which was the cheapest of the Nikon's from that era. I really didn't know that at the time since I was probably 18 when I bought it. ;) Mine's probably not worth anything.
