<\/p>\nFinally finished the 24 exposures roll of Elitechrome on the Elikon 525 and got it cross-processed. After the initial screw-up where I probably lost a couple of frames, I did a pretty fast test on it while easily burning the entire roll of film.<\/p>\n
How do\u00a0I find the camera? A couple of hiccups which I guess is not because of the camera design itself. Firstly, the film counter wasn’t working (which is no problem to me). Secondly, the film advance wheel. It takes quite a bit of effort advancing it, maybe it needs a drink (of lubrication) or two.<\/p>\n
Focusing wasn’t a problem as it has only the basic ‘one person’, ‘few people’ and the ‘mountain’ icons to indicate the approximate distance. Changing of the aperture values proves to be a bit challenging for my fat (and clumsy?) fingers but somehow I got used to it. Here are some photos from the test roll (pardon my fat finger in the photo below)<\/p>\n

The lens might not be of the same quality (or lack of it) as the one\u00a0on the LC-A but the results show that it is capable of producing punchy constrasty colors, as well is the slight vignetting that we love (or hate?). Now I guess I’ll go bug my friend to sell this camera to me!<\/p>ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
