Olympus IS-3000 film bridge camera (yes!)

[gray1720]

Another camera from a dodgy bloke in a pub. The bag contained a roll of ISO 400 labeled as "Walmart", apparently unused. When it hit Snappy Snaps today the lassie was American and twigged that it was qute an old logo, so gave it special treatment - which it needed, as the negs are very dark.

What's it like? Well, it's slow to focus, heavy, noisy, has a great many buttons and... a working data back! Can't quite believe that, I thought they'd all fallen victim to the Millenium Bug long ago. Anyway, some pics. The atmospheric colours work better with some than others.

Mate you've hit the jackpot, those are lovely. Make a Fuji X film simulation/Lightroom preset to give that look and you'd be able to retire from the proceeds.

That's all good stuff Adrian

..and funnily enough this has popped up on the Beeb this morning - though not the same ploughing match!

They do have a great look. The data back imprint would be easy to heal in PhotoShop.
