But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

Great find at a great price.  I remember wanting one of those back in the day.  I ended up getting a good deal on this instead back around 1982.

Nice Hassy outfit there! I was given a Hassy 1000 not long ago, one of their first, but not necessarily their best effort. ::) It's in need of a good CLA, but can't find anyone who will even touch them.  :'( It came with both an 80 and 135mm lense.

first lesson learned
i rolled the film wrong on the spool, did not take any pics
took the spool out and rolled it properly( funny what happens when you read the manual)
reinserted it
i hope i didn't over exposed too many shots
i figure the first 2 or 3 will be over exposed
the rest should be fine i hope

Tramp,

Do you process and print your own film? I'm something of a B&W buff myself.
