Digging the new cam. (and the pooch) It's a pretty good performer considering it's compactness! (I have one coming of course) 📸
Loading film is a little fiddly, but so what?
Only bummer for me is I find the frame lines very hard to see. Every other VF camera I have (and there are a lot..) is so much better in that respect.
But the results really belie the look and feel of this toy-like plastic thing. I have no idea as to how long it will last, but then again it was so cheap that how high should my expectations be?
For fun I compared it to my Olympus Pen FT. The Oly, as expected, is just , well, wow compared to the Agat. But the Agat is so good for what it is! FYI I hold the camera in the horizontal orientation so get these Pen-like shots. The way it is designed to be held would give landscape format images. I may try that on my next roll.

Haha, I didn't even clue in that it is set up that way. Neat!
In other news, in the span of a few days I traded a no-name MD-Nex adapter for a minty Pentax 110 & flash, then shortly afterwards came across a full 110 kit with the body, flash, 18, 24 & 50mm lenses plus a bunch of accessories including a rad case for $55. That's maybe a case of PBR in USD!! haha. Looking forward to loading it up with Lomo Tiger
Crazy price for the 110 kit! The 18mm lens (35 equivalent) is the sharpest from my experience.
Also... KEH on ebay is selling 20 pack Fuji Superia 110 film for about $80. I've stocked up...
Some Auto110s have shutter/mirror sticking issues. I've fixed one of mine using electronic contact cleaner (no disassembly required!). (the other did not need it). I can link to a thread if you need it.
