>>3868439On the one hand, I'm glad I got this thing working - with some creative re-wiring of a battery compartment ruined by an exploded battery.
On the other - after a single roll of film it's left me dissapointed and underwhelmed. It's more like the last dinosaur than the first bird, if that makes sense. You can tell there's a lot of what's coming next in it, but on the other hand - it's still a dinosaur.
An EOS 650 with a 50mm EF lens feels like a much more complete thing. Easier to use, with better results.
Still, I only paid 20 quid for it and it took a few hours with a soldering iron and a wire-snippers to get it going so I amn't out much.
The F-1 is a big chunky, heavy beast that feels great to use. The T70 is small, light and automatic and *simple*. The T90 just feels a little lacking.
It sounds good and feels alright to hold.
