@lifeandmylens@, I'll check those out, thanks. I've had some Vision stocks in the freezer for a couple or three years now, and I keep meaning to find a lab that'll process them.
I just came from a local antique store that had an Agfa Ambi Silette in great condition. It's a rangefinder and it comes with three lenses. The camera has framelines for each. This camera is very clean and seems to function well. Time to put some film it and take it for a ride. The lenses include a 35/4, 50/2.8 and a 90/4.

I disdain those who have no self control when they stumble across a film camera and just have to buy it.
Here’s the Minolta Pocket Autopak 450E I just picked up from Paul’s Photo on my way to dropping off film.
This for $20 or the new Lomomatic 110 for $180 (that apparently has film transport issues)?
This.

The shutter on this camera only goes down to 1/25. It was gloomy and I wanted a deeper depth of field so I had to use B and rely on my internal atomic clock for these, which were shot at 1/2 and 1s. Exposure was dead on compared to some later shots on the roll using the timed speeds
I bought one of the weirdest films I could find and paired it with the weirdest lens I own. The results were...weird. But kind of cool, too. I like it.
Film Photography Project Low ISO Film (ISO 1.6; I shot it at 1.2), MS Optics Apoqualia G 28mm/2, Leica M2-R. I shot all of these wide open, in part to get the Holga-like vignette from this lens. I had a tripod with me and intended to use it to get some motion blur shots of cars and pedestrians, but it was cold and windy and I didn't feel like fussing with the tripod so I shot handheld, mostly at 1/15 to 1/30.
