I recently tried taking photos with film. I'm not very knowledgeable about cameras, but when I had the film developed, the pictures came out fine. The last photo is one I took with this camera. There is some dirt and scratches on the fourth photo. When looking through the viewfinder, it appears sepia-toned (brown). This shouldn't affect the development process. Please understand that this item is stored at home and has been inspected by an amateur. Thank you for your purchase. MINOLTA Film Camera
