Two loaded half-frames

27 Jul 2017 85
I've long been a fan of half-frame cameras. I've had the Konica Eye2 (on the right) for five or six years and it is loaded right now with a roll of Fuji 1000 film that went out-of-date in 2007. I received the Ricoh Caddy (on the left) last week, buying it for under ten dollars (though of course I did pay shipping on top of that. . . ) because the seller said it was broken. Broken it was. But it turned out its only fault was that the shutter release button was missing. So I installed a short cable in its place and the camera seems to work fine. It has a roll of "Lifecolor S-SR 100" in it. The roll was given to me (with two other rolls) by a young friend whose grandfather had owned it. The family thought the film from the 1980s and I suspect that is so. I'm testing a new Fujifilm X100T right now. It is very similar to my old X100 which is the only digital camera I have ever liked as much as a good film camera. I don't anticipate any problems with the X100T.
