meet iron man

saturday it was, my prayers were answered! no rain.yey. left home after lunch for another trip to hidalgo to have my B&W developed. too bad we were too late, and it would take around 2-3 hrs for the processing and developing, there was limited time, will have chrissy pick it up this weekend. darn, and i was excited. first task on the list, check. next was to have the ricoh fixed. task not fulfilled. boo. according to every repair shop we visited, it was hard to have old automatics fixed. considering that their parts are all faced-out and our ricoh defenitely needed a replacement somewhere deep inside it. hmph. but sad i was no longer. coz just as we arrived the area, we already spotted this 1963 konica eematic! the place where we found it was another stall but was sort of behind other vendors i think of ukay2. oh yeah was it a great find, according to that other stall where we got the lenscap and the red filter for our vintage camera! hahaha instead of being too darn disappointed with my goodbye to dear ricoh, we were blessed with this one...la la la..still on the getting to know stage with this one. a very different one from my holga, very heavy, body's real metal, very far from my made in china's all-plastic body.
