Parcels again.
I received two parcels yesterday! Whee!
One has my Fuji Pack Film which I have been waiting since forever to reach here.
Now that I have these, I can finally try the Land Camera that I bought last month! I'm kinda scared to do it though. I've read other people's accounts of their first time with pack film and most of them had trouble getting the film out of the camera.
I need to get hair pins or bobby pins or whatever they're called. I have them but the ones that I've got has this annoying bubble thingy at the end. I need ones that are straight! Another method that I could try is to just put in the film right now and to get the first 2 films out by opening the back of the camera just a teeny wee bit so it's easier to pull out. Meh. Let's see if I can find the correct bobby pins first.
The other parcel has the two Minolta rangefinders that I bought from eBay.

I wanna test these two but I just realized that I still have unfinished rolls of film in a few of my other cameras. I should really stock up on those cheapo 24-exposure films for doing tests with my new cameras; it'll be way easier to finish.

I am a listener.
I wasn't being a bitch. Honest.

Yashica Electro 35 GSN
I received another package yesterday and this is what it contained:
My extremely gorgeous Yashica Electro 35 GSN! Just look at it, ain't it beautiful? I've had my eye on this for a while now and I'm glad I waited this long - I only got it for $41! Most of the auctions that I've seen last time had this baby going for more than $100.
The camera came with a case, a lens cap and a sky filter.

The camera's pretty big. I would say that it's as big as my Olympus OM10. It's also quite heavy, feels like a brick - you could hurt someone with this!
I put in a new battery in the camera yesterday as well and I'm glad to say that the meter works! Since the battery that the camera uses is not longer manufactured, I used a combination of 1 CR123 + 2 LR44 with copper wires instead.
The only thing that worries me about the camera is the light seal. I'm gonna try to finish and develop a roll with it as soon as possible. If there are light leaks, then there's always Max!
Can't wait to try this baby out tomorrow!
