Vicky's one of those types you have to understand before you really enjoy knowing. She does what she does in a slower process than normal that's definitely worth it. And you always have to remember to fully wind her or you risk exposing her film and loosing a good deal of your images.

...did I mention Vicky is a camera? Ahem.

I found her the other day for three dollars and ninety-nine cents in a thrift store. (Right next to a vintage Polaroid that I didn't get because I can't afford the endgame cost of the film made by the  Impossibly Priced Project.) Anyways, Vicky's in fairly good condition and I want to know more about her, but it seems the RX-7 and Sitacon brand in general are pretty much a cult interest. Sigh.

    1. Hi Hawwa! Thanks for your kind words, but I don't offer swap sponsoring at this time. I usually approach blogs similar to mine on a case-by-case basis, not the other way around.

    1. Everything I've learned about Vicky is from basic trial and error. She's in working condition but her winder is broken. I usually have to go into a dark room and manually wind/push any used film back into the cartridge by hand. Other than that, it's a nice camera. :)

      thank you for commenting | annika

      +she takes standard 35mm film. I recommend Fujifilm.
