Welcome Clare.
"Real" cameras can become highly addictive. You'll find a lot of hopeless cases here happy to share information.

Have fun, Bob.
Clare,
Bob is quite right, you do get some funny looks when using these old folders, but you also get people wanting to talk about the cameras,and memories sometimes come flooding back from former folder users.

Hi Clare,

Welcome to the forum.

I'm fairly new as well, but the help here is great. Hope you enjoy reading the posts as much as I do.

Some great fun can be had with the Russian cameras - a huge amount of fun per £

Enjoy!
