Very cool, never heard of this camera before! Smart idea to buy something before an internet hype starts setting in. This happened quite often in recent times with film cameras - one good example is the Hasselblad XPan camera which goes now for an outrageous amount of money after several people issued YouTube videos promoting it.
I'm trying to get Kendall Jenner to use all the gear I am unloading, so I can get a nice price hike.
All kidding aside, my 'back up' Bellami just came in. I have a cr@p load of gear including high end stuff and this little lump has really surprised me. Plus it is so much fun to use!
It's great to see all the fantastic new work in this thread. Unfortunately I got some film developed recently and I see that my Contax T2 has developed a strange ring flare. Anyone else seen anything like this? I can't recall my T2 doing this before, and now suddenly it's there in about half my frames. I really hope this is fixable because these cameras are getting expensive to replace!

Might be caused by the angle to the sun and by not having a hood on top of the lens. I would next time try to use your hand to cover the lens from the sun on the side.
The framing and thought process behind these is brilliant

I tried something different recently - shooting 35 mm film with medium format to allow panoramic 60x24 mm photos. I used an older Hasselblad A24 cartridge on my Hasselblad 500 C/M loaded with Fuji Provia 100F slide film and developed then the film with E-6 processing.
Curse you, I'll probably buy one of these later today. Does look super fun and entry price isn't bad at all. Any more samples?

Got my test roll back from my new-old-stock Chinon Bellami. And quite frankly the lens on this lump has shocked me. So much so I went back onto ebay and bought a spare before people read this, news gets out and the prices sky rocket!
Sometimes the Zenfolio website can have hiccups and then photos are not loaded correctly. Not sure if this is what you are referring to - I can see the image just fine online.
Purchased... listed as used which implies functional so should be covered. It was a pricey $25 but I’ve wasted a lot more on a lot less?
Here recently I’ve gotten an N90S for about $10, and N80 for $20 and this pricey goodie for $25 (but I got a lens with this one?). Been having a blast while at it. Now just need to get the film developed.

1st thing is to change out the seals (after you have put in a couple of batteries and determined it works). I bought a sheet of the stuff and cut to fit. It has a semi circular seal in the film back where it supports the film canister.
My perfect condition N75 was only $8, so yeah these P&S cameras are much pricier. Pretty much due to demand..
(p.s. I paid more than you so I win! Oh wait...)
