Lomo 218

This Lomo (Avrora) 218 is another acquisition from eBay. I forgot how much I paid for it (I´ve never bought a camera off eBay for more than 30 euros....yet). Specs from super8wiki as follows:


year: 1978-79
lens: 2,4 / 12,5 - 12,5 mm
frame rate: 18
manual / auto exp (not TTL)
silent
made in Russia



This particular one that I have, seems to be missing its lens, which is quite a pity. Unfortunately, I´ve also read that its not 64t friendly. oh well, as long as it runs on batteries. Still undecided whether I should bother running a test 64T or a Tri-X through it. Opinions very much welcome.

Later!
