Secondly, inserting the film cartridge, requires you to do it top edge first, OK, but takes a bit of getting used to.įirst Roll In this first period of acclimatising to the camera I decided to shoot how I normally do, mostly in aperture priority, without digging into the menus displayed on the rear LCD too deeply.
All straightforward, just a couple of things to note, I won’t be buying batteries off eBay again, I purchased 2 x CR123A and they wouldn’t light up a tea party for The Borrowers, never mind an auto everything camera. The hand grip is nicely proportioned and being used to shooting Nikon digital cameras everything was familiar and fell to hand, and I soon had the batteries loaded, 50mm f1.4D lens mounted, strap attached and roll of Lomo 800 CN inserted. Given the cameras I know to compare it to, it was heavier than the Dynax 7 but not as heavy as the F4 with MB-20 grip, felt much more solid than the Dynax 7, and just as solid, but with a softer feel than the F4. Unboxing Well I opened the box, unwrapped the metres of bubble wrap and tape, and there it was, first feeling in my hand was pretty impressive, just a nice amount of weight, and felt very solid.
Sent by DHL Express, it was with me within 6 days, import duties and taxes amounted to around 21%, a bit better than I was expecting, bonus. Then on a Saturday night, after a blistering veggie chilli and a good few glasses of Côtes du Rhône, well I hit that button on eBay, and it was on its way.
