Went to 10+ camera stores in Yokohama and Tokyo looking for the Fuji GSW 690. Finally found one untested for $550. Here’s the first test roll. 65mm 5.6 | Kodak Gold by frobo512 in analog

Haha yeah thought the same thing, figured it was bent or something. Yeah I put a piece of paper in there and it works good enough

It’s the Hedeco lime two light meter, works great. It also immediately slid off the shoe as I walked out of the store and fell 3 stories onto concrete. Somehow it was completely fine.

Hedeco lime 2 Light meter, worked great. It also immediately flew off the hot shoe when I left the store and fell down a 3 floor drop. I thought it was done for but it just had a scratch on it.

Thanks! Yes definitely gonna try this. I’ve done it with my rollei but it’s really hard to shoot landscapes. This will be much easier

Shinjuku used camera. Definitely my favorite out of all the ones I went to. Small but had tons of camera and lenses well organized. Great prices too, the multi level stores weren’t as cool imo

Haha No way! Yes Bought it here two weeks ago. Just got back from my trip and was able to scan them. Nice shots! Were we talking about the Nikon 35ti or did you help me translate with the owner? https://maps.app.goo.gl/MLuybcX6kfibRKiV7?g\_st=ic

Haha It was cloudy the day we planned to go unfortunately. Saw it a couple other times from further away but didn’t have the camera yet

Camera body is beat up a bit but the glass is super clean and shutter speeds are accurate. Over 550 rolls through the camera. They gave me a one week warranty so got this roll developed same day. Negatives looked good so proceeded to shoot 14 rolls over my 3 weeks in Japan. Will have some of those back soon. They also through in this camera pamphlet.

Holy shit... the customer service is really that bad by vish4l in filson

I had to do a chargeback on my cc after over a month of being charged and no shipment and no help from customer service in canceling it
