This is a fairly common older medium-size 35mm camera. It has three aperture settings and a standard tripod socket. We developed a roll of film from it and had good results on most photographs, including a few of very good quality. It is possible to connect an external flash unit to it, although we did not. This camera is easier to use, more compact, and lighter than many cameras with similar features. Another advantage is that no batteries are required because it doesn't have motorized film advance or a built-in flash. The only drawback of any significance is that, as with other cameras of this type, there is no built-in lens cover. A round detachable lens cover of the right size can be used, but it is possible to lose these. Otherwise, this appears to be an affordable camera with very good performance and useful features.
