I received some very nice early presents today, including Season 1 of The IT Crowd from summerfields. Thanks, guys!

I also got this from my parents:



All the components seem to be working together fine. Next step is to locate some compatible film. It uses 116 film, which is no longer sold, but I hear some kinds of film currently sold would fit the spool.

I have that exact camera as well! If you know what film works with it, let me know. I'd be extremely interested in trying it out.
