Thanks.  :D Yeah, I had worse horror stories when I first bought a Lubitel. It was worse and I sold it away  :P

yeah i had a lubitel and was unimpressed. had a bunch of controls, but everything in the viewfinder was completely out of focus, even though i could get the pictures to come out fine by guessing. and the output was boring. not really nice, but not cool and blurry or anything. just kind of 'there'.

I love my Pearl River, need to dig it out of the camera pile and run another roll through it.

Yes, my vote goes to the first one too, the saturated colours work well there.   The blur is very nice, quite an extreme contrast from centre to edge, yeah almost looks like a lensbaby or even a flipped lens!
