Hi Justin. I have the 531 but sadly I had to leave it in storage (in a different continent). I did run one roll through it and it quickly became one of my favourite film cameras. It is so much fun to use. Moreover, some of the shots I got back were absolute belters and now I'm regretting leaving it in storage! I look forward to seeing your results.

Thanks so much! Nice... I love the rangefinder style of the 531s! Hopefully you'll get it back from storage soon.

I used one of these as my daily camera a while back. They're a ton of fun and the lens is just full of character and charm. Being able to carry around such a small camera that shoots such a large negative was the main reason I was drawn to it, and I absolutely regret selling it.

I agree.. I love the idea of a 6x6 negative for tons of detail and printing capablities! I've also looked at the Fujifilm GF670 (actually almost bought one in 2010), but I think the prices have gone way too high for them.

i just inherited one of these from my grandfather. have to get the focusing ring fixed though.

Nice! The focus ring on this one works, but it feel stiff to me. Hopefully it's a little smoother after a CLA! Let me know how you make out with your camera!

It’s my everyday carry for couple years and no regrets

both are great 6x6 folding rangefinders! I happened to find this one at a local yard sale for $16

Did you develop the film that was in the camera ?

Good question! Not yet.. Kodak Ektar is a C-41 process so I'll most likely send it out for development. Right now I'm only setup to process B&W film in my darkroom
