Today my fully working, excellent condition £2.79p Kodak Coloursnap 35MM Model 2 camera arrived. I’m addicted. Even it doesn’t turn out to be fully working. I’m working out the settings and loving the clouds and sunshine. I’m remembering the frustration of loading film as Queenie and I try to fathom what the hell the manual is talking about.

Sod it if it turns out not to work proper, I can’t wait to see the developed product, be they blurry, over exposed or just plain boring. I can’t wait to see how Matilda looks through its lens, to see if a 1960s camera has a different view.

I, like the charity shop treasure that is my Haliner Anastigmat, am in love.
