Here (up to 5mb) Bokeh Looks great Flash The built in flash works great and the camera have no problem focusing in pitch black. Its also very good at controlling the flash power so it don´t overexpose the image. Sample More sample

Its made of plastic and it have a plastic feel to it. But it solid enough and still works after around 20 years despite all electronics. And that that bad at all. Conclusion This is a always in my pocket camera for me. Its extreamly lightweight and small for a fullframe camera. Image quality is also better then I first expected from this. Its not perfect wide open but which lens is. The auto focus and exposure workers great and the camera have next no never got it wrong. But a manual possibility would have been nice. My copy unfortunately makes some scratch marks on the film but I don´t think thats a normal problem on what I have read about this camera. Thumbs up: Image quality Small size and weight Thumbs down: No manual possibility Corner sharpness wide open Technical Info Scanner: Epson V700 Film: Rollei Retro 400s Developer: Kodak D76 Want to help
