Throwback Edit Version: I edited this in March 2026, checked the links and converted it to the new WordPress blocks format if needed.
I loved the look of this camera. When I saw it, I felt compelled to buy it. It had great ergonomics, felt great to hold, looked amazing thanks to its design and rounded edges, and seemed efficient. BUT it was an APS camera, with an ever-dwindling supply of film.
As I had a few rolls in my fridge and this camera was only $8, I thought why not.







It was originally released in 1996 and I thought that even if I couldn’t use the body, I could make use of the lens, as it was in very good condition. Unfortunately, I found out later that lenses from this series do not fit any other camera 🙁
The other lenses seem hard to find, so I was lucky to find this set together. It was eventually discontinued around 2006, well before the demise of APS film. I used to dislike APS film, mainly for its price. But every camera I have tried has worked really well. So what about this one?
Here is my test roll, which, of course, is an out-of-date film – there is no fresh stock.

























These were taken around my current home…Plus, I have a new toy, the scooter. It’s great for stopping and taking a quick photo wander.
Keep or sell: sold
I tried another film in this camera, read about it here.
The scooter shots along the road are awesome! Good looking ride and the images are great too!
Yes, that is my favourite road to cycle too. This time of year is so pretty in Japan.
Just beautiful!
