Looks like I'm going to need to try a roll of E100 at some point. One of the oddities of my archive is that I have photographic evidence that I took pictures at various times in the 60s, but none of those ever materialized when I was clearing out my parents' house.
March '67. me with a used Exakta we bought from a local newspaper ad a year or so before. If memory serves, $50 for the camera, 50mm (maybe a 58?), and a 135. It wasn't the easiest camera to learn with, but it vastly beat the Kodak 127 box camera I was using prior and since I didn't have any prior SLR experience, there was nothing to un-learn.
