I recently acquired yet another camera on ebay. I know, big shock there. But this one is slightly different from some of the other ones, and I was sold immediately on the cool 1930's bakelite design. Here's a scan of the negatives I developed last night from the first roll of 127 film. You can still get film for 127 cameras from any of the major photo shops on the web. I got mine from Freestyle Photo for about $7 a roll. They also had some infrared film for 127 cameras on clearance, so of course I got some of that, too.
Now, this camera has a cool screw-out lens that you're supposed to screw all the way out till it clicks, which I learned after I shot the first roll. Hence the funny cut-offs on the corners. I still kinda dig them though. I was kinda surprised at how exposed they got though, considering the film is only 100 speed. Perhaps the shutter isn't as fast as it once was in those crazy Bullet days of the '30's.
