What a journey!! Glad it made it to you in one piece!

The image is in perfect shape, corners barely rounded.
Now that it what I call a stoke of luck. He definitely is a good person! 
I should add that the mailman came yesterday at 8:30pm... And it has been just sitting there on the sidewalk for all that time without anybody stepping on it.

Thanks for all the info. I'm going to need to re-read it and see if anything jumps out at me as being the film to try. The ORWO UN54, 100ASA sounded really promising from the Efke comparison, but the scratching and those plastic cassettes don't sound like a lot of fun. I guess I'll heed Francois' words of wisdom as my jumping off point and see where it takes me. "But when it comes to cheap stuff, Foma and Arista.EDU are pretty much the name of the game"

The price level is about the same as the Nikon 35TI and Contax T when they were released in the late 80's, early 90's. Adjusting for inflation the new Rollei is quite a bit cheaper, but it's still a bit of money for an advanced P&S. I think I'll wait and read a few reviews before contemplating a purchase. And then there are all those nice last century goodies that I haven't tried yet............

It does sound like it's going to be quite nice. And knowing how good Mint can make cameras, it's bound to be an interesting little thing.
But the price... sheesh.

This was option 2 for my postcard. I've just come back from a trip to photograph some of the old quarries in North Wales, but those snaps won't be ready for some time yet.

Shaun, that's a very nice shot, I wouldn't mind getting that in the next postcard round.

From Amateur Photographer: "Mint’s upcoming 35mm full-frame film camera, the Rollei 35AF, will be accompanied by a 5-element all glass lens with coatings on every side and a 35mm focal length, which is often a popular choice among street photographers. It will be priced around $650-$800 (around £520-£640).

The camera will also have a metal body and the following aperture options: F2.8, F4, F5.6, F8, F11 and F16. Additionally, the Rollei 35AF features an ‘exposure’ dial, a built-in light meter and an AUTO mode."

Looks kind of nice so I'll keep an eye out for reviews, though I tend to be a bit uneasy about necrobranding.

Bryan, Quincy is really a cute looking dog.
I took the Mamiya Super 23 on a saturday after work walk to stretch my legs, along the canal in Stoke, a couple of weekends back.

I printed a few extra so if someone didn't get one I can send another.

Same, I have a few spare ones. But I finally posted them only yesterday morning so don't expect them next Monday… Sorry, it took way longer than I wanted!
