Hi All!
My camera came with the mail today.
I opened it up and here's what it looks like.......

I didn't think it would work as I tried several batteries, and no reaction.
The last two batteries I had were inserted and it seems to work just fine. I'll give it a good cleaning and touch up, then take it out to see what kind of shots I get.
I guess I should get some fresh batteries in the house
Life is good!

I have, on a few occasions, thought I had bought yet another dud because I tested with batteries borrowed from another camera. Some cameras are sensitive to voltage, and when tested with fresh batteries, they come to life.

Batteries certainly can be a pain.

The camera is from the chunky era of 35mm rangefinders.

Hi Dave!

So my camera is from the "chunky" era , is it?
Then it suits me well as I'm a rather chunky example myself ;D

Speaking of "chunky".

Is that really a pregnant pink rabbit about to multiply?

I wonder what Bugs has been up to.

Not pregnant, just holding an Easter Egg.
