Throwback Edit Version: I edited this in May 2025, checked the links and converted it to the new WordPress blocks format if needed.

I knew I had already tried a VERY similar camera to this. The only difference between this camera and the 28WB was the focal length. Everything else seems the same. Again, you can find lots of technical information on this site. There is also information on this site.

Anyway, here is the camera.

To test this camera, I drove a little further north of Ibaraki to a place called Hananuki Valley, Takahagi. It was a very rainy day…very rainy! I suppose that made it perfect for this camera. Unfortunately, that made it difficult to actually have a clear lens. The person I went with used an umbrella, smart. But I had a rugged, sturdy, super camera, a camera made for those conditions. Damn it, I will not shelter….hence the rain drops on the lens and the blurry shots.

So, of course, the camera worked and look at those colours.

Keep or sell – I will sell this one as I have the yellow one I like. Unless I see a coloured one of these rather than black, I doubt I will keep it.

 Update: I found an orange one with original strap and film holders 🙂

Unfortunately, I sold this one as I had too many cameras to bring back to the UK, big mistake.
