Open pit

Ha ha! If I were a different sort of person, I would put it on the floor and stomp on it with my heel. Or place it under a truck tire.

But I will keep it. And perhaps one day I'll look at it more closely to see if I can fix it.

It's not so much its propensity for non-photographic images that I don't like. It is more the fact that a tiny plastic piece that is necessary for the film to advance, the shutter to cock, and the film to rewind at the end, has broken. That means the camera is unusable now. It's a lovely piece of plastic (I really like its visual design, with the black and orange all around, and transparent lens cap), and I may buy another. But this one now sleeps on a shelf devoted to half-frame cameras that won't provide any new service to me. There is also a Chaika on that shelf, a Chaika whose leaf shutter seems to have convulsed itself into paralysis. And a Canon Demi whose front lens element was probably removed by someone and put back backwards. And some others, too. I haven't the handiness nor the wit, nor indeed right now the patience!, to fix them.
