Decided to shoot one of the rolls of Gold 200 myself to see if it is
still good. I also don't know the age of the k-1000
since it is "assembled in China" and the takeup knob is plastic that
narrows it down a bit..
IN the camera bag with the k-1000 was a canon sureshot... I got a
battery for it and snapped off a couple of purely silly shots of the max
400 to test it before I list it.
THe K-1000 "sounds" right - I haven't put a battery in it yet, have to
buy
one but did notice that the date in the date window on back of the Canon
Sure shot was 94 1 1. The manual that came iwth it was 1998.
Doesn't mean the K-1000 is the same vintage, of course.
JOhn - thanks for mentioning Target -- where I was headed anyway...
I went for the prints.. it was worth it to see things were working
nicely and the film is just fine. I wish I'd paid a bit more attention
to what I was shooting for the test though, really didn't shoot anything
I'd want to show my peers.. but enough variety that it proved the K-1000
and the 35-80 zoom were working well and the film isnt old.
I told the processor what I was up to, and to process normally.
Now I can sell the camera the lens and the rolls of film . I did
enjoy the whole back to film feeling though.
