Scored this little cutie for six dollars on that auction site last week and took her out for a spin at lunchtime. High-noon light was kinda harsh, but so far I'm happy with the results and will definitely run more film through it.
Pocket size, auto everything...another camera to just keep in the truck.

Nice find there!
I still have so many cameras to try out I just don't know where to start!
I've had a little Pentax Espio on my desk for over a year and haven't found the time to take it out for a spin...

The photos have a really nice quality to them ;D

That's what I like about old cameras - you get old timer photos. That's why I like old radios so I can listen to old music :-)

Thanks everyone!
I was worried that the camera wouldn't work at all. I see them selling for over $100. new, so guess the seller either didn't know what he had or just didn't care because it came with a new battery and a roll of film which would cost more than the six dollars I paid.
This almost makes up for the dregs I've paid for in other auctions. I'm starting the weekend out very happy!
Francois- You should really go shoot that little Pentax. I've seen others photos with them and they are tack sharp.
Andrea- I like old radios too! :)

I still have my grandpa's old tube radio, a 1950's Skymaster (if I remember).
You need to get it warmed up before it starts playing :)
