Fujifilm fotonex 300ix zoom

[Dan Cattermole]

Has anyone ever used one of these?!?
I've got about 18 35mm compact film cameras, and they're all great.
But I haven't used this before....
There are a few things on it that are very appealing... Adjustable diopter, flip out control panel etc.

Has anyone had any experience with one of these before, and I wouldn't mind knowing how you found it.

Thanks for looking

Cool looking thing! Got a bit of a thing for compacts at the mo ... Since buying the yashica ...

I've never used one of these, I did have an aps camera for quite a while though. In the end it became prohibitively expensive to justify using though. At last count it was about £14 to buy and dev a roll of aps film... Where I checked at least...

what other compacts do you have?

I've a roll of 25 exposure APS film with an expiry date of 2004 if it's any good to you Dan, Gratis...

Just for you H, had to blow the dust of them to see the name lol

My latest compact purchase was when we did the 'under 10 pound' theme.... Which was the Olympus mju zoom 105.

Canon sure shot supreme (my favourite)
X2 canon sure shot AF - 7 (rear catch bust on one, so purchased another moons ago)
Pentax AF zoom 60
Minolta AF - E
Fuji DL80
Halina vision XAS
Ricoh RZ 750
Yashica minitec AF
Samsung AF zoom 1050
Vivitar AF 450
Konica Jump (claimed to be weather proof..... )
Praktica TOPO 810
Goldline (by concord) G22 MD....
Kodak ektra 22 EF (not quite an aps)
And of course my very latest purchase of 5 pounds for the Fuji in this thread.

Majority of them I've had a film through sometime in their life.

I'm sure you've got 3 of each of those and more on your shelf H?

 

[Hamish Gill]

That's a nice collection of crap through to vaguely ok cameras ... Good effort!
I shall document mine soon!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Charming! Lol.
Anyone's junk is my treasure you know that Ha!

I've had a few of them since my teenage years and held on to them since.
Not sure I knew what I was buying at the time

 

[Hamish Gill]

Don't take offence Dan, it's genuine admiration ... I've just put a roll into a fuji dl270 and treasure my nikon rf10 ...
Just because they are crap doesn't make them any less valid! ... Like your practica ... Awful thing! (As I've told you before) you love it, you take good pictures with it... THAT is what matters!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

High five to that H!
No offence taken, like the skin of a tank me!

I've just bought a lithium battery for the Fuji, my gawd, ent they expensive!!
It all works fine and I'm loading some ilford C41 in there tonight!
Can't wait!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Cracking! Looking forward to the pics

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Oh NO!!!!!!! The film casing is too thick for ilford !! Didn't see that one coming

Gotta get me some Fujifilm!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

And drop in loading film too
What have I got here then???? Lol

 

[Hamish Gill]

Aps you numpty ...
I did wonder where you had got the ilford from
Advanced Photo System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Hamish Gill]

... Read back through the thread ... I thought you knew it was aps ... ?

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Feeling pretty stupid now.......
I haven't used APS, only 35mm and was pretty thoughtless and struck for time to respond with a decent answer to previous posts about it..........
Bit on the good side... I now have been full filled!
That explains why I haven't used my Fuji DL 80!! Interest lost! Lol

Thanks Hammer!
