Bootsale Camera 2: The Halina 3000

Been a while since I have done one of these little reports, so thought I would update today with one!

Went to the local town today and the Fairground has returned for it's 'Summer Trading' - If you can call it summer.
If you want to check out some photographs of the fair, check out my account on the brilliantly fun  Instagram (for those using an iPod, iPhone or other Mac devices)

Back to the Halina 3000......
It was a rather overcast day, and I was using ISO 400 film to take a few images of streets and shops whilst walking. 
Just a quick roll of film to test the cameras abilities.

I shot on the following settings:
Shutter speed: 1/125
F: 8

The camera was a Halina 3000, a Hong Kong made, compact camera for 35mm film.

Check out more info on the wonderful Camerapedia .


Here is my Halina 3000, it cost me a whopping £1

The results were mixed as halfway through the film, when I wound on to the next part of the negative it sounded as though the teeth on the wheel weren't quite catching the film correctly.
I did however result in some nice abstract looking double exposures.  So not all bad!












Here are the images for those who are fans of Flickr:
