After a long time of pondering buying a LC-A I saw a good deal on Ebay and so went for it, and it arrived from Russia today. I hurried out straight away at lunchtime to test it giving myself 30 minutes to take a roll of 36 pictures, a photo challenge! So that is what this jumble of photos is. This way I can also remember what I did to take the pictures so hopefully improve next time, it’s fun getting to know a new camera :) The film I used was Fuji Superia 400 as that is what I had in stock.

      Thanks for commenting and also for the info on the film, I am glad that choice was ok. I have never really explored the different types of film, I need to give it a go :)

    These are great, Alice!
    My favorites are the hanging clothes, the flowers, and the “High Class Butchers”
    I hope you share lots more!
