Note: I purchased this camera at full price.
Background - I purchased a Lomo MC-A and returned it as faulty for a full refund after shooting the first roll. I then wanted another brand new 35mm camera and ruminated on something like a H35N or Snapic A1.
I saw on the Chroma thread that they had released their new 24mm lens and that there were a limited number of the 35mm Click model cameras with this lens fitted.
Order and delivery - I ordered on 4th March, was dispatched on the 6th and it arrived on the 9th. Securely packaged.
Opening and first impressions - inside the postal packaging was a nice little square box with my production number.
Out the box I was "wow!" at the look, finish and feel quality o the camera.
The 3d printing is exceptional and I initially thought the top and base plate were machined metal it was that good.
Base: L-R - magnet release for rewind, manually set shot reminder, rewinder and film inserter.
The simple shutter mechanism. Flick up, shot taken. Flick down, shot taken. Shutter (1/100 and apparently moved with magnets) not linked to winding mechanism. For me that means a good chance of double (or more!) exposures.
Nice little secure back locking/opening mechanism.
Back open with half frame insert shown but not fitted - going to have to be careful not to loose that.
Quality of the outside continues on the inside especially my first view of the transport mechanism (look and learn Lomo). Curve film plane visible too..
Close up of the take up spool. Again great quality.
Overall - very, very impressed on first viewing.
More to follow...
