That's fantastic! With the FC camera you don't actually need a battery for regular shooting because that camera has a selenium meter around the lens. The battery in the camera is only needed for the flash cubes. Regarding developing, 126 film is the same width as 35mm film so you can develop it yourself on a 35mm reel, or if you prefer to have someone else develop it I know that The Darkroom Lab in California develops 126 all the time. Good luck!

Wow! This camera seems a lot more ornate than the general run of 126 types. I'm now feeling a little nostalgic for the format - i shot quite a lot of Kodachrome on an Instamatic 100 all those years ago, and was very happy with the results I was getting.

I know what you mean! I was pleasantly surprised at how well this camera operates for a 126 camera. It was a ton of fun to shoot with. I had forgotten how fun it can be to shoot without having to put a lot of thought into settings and adjustments. It also left me feeling a bit nostalgic for the format and wishing it were easier to get film to shoot with.

Could be handy as a spare camera, when running out of film. Well done, quite nice snaps!
