The manual that comes with the camera is in Russian <g>. It appears to be
very detailed and comprehensive, but useless to me.

That is an idea. Perhaps I can glue somthing on one of those clever little
filter holders. You have experience doing that. Could you give me some
pointers -- do's and don'ts.


BTW, I seem to have problem with Ilford Delta 400 film. Difficult to load.
Hard to advance and rewind. I have already torn off one roll of Delta. No
problem with Kodak CN400. Anyone else share this experience?

Thanks for your response.
