This was taken with a cheap, plastic no-name brand camera that I picked up for $1 at the local antique store. It was brand new, however, and in it's original packaging. And not only that, it has a hot shoe for an electronic flash that really works. Taken on March 27th, 2014, at 11.56 p.m., and on Kentmere black and white 35mm film and an electronic flash. I've noticed one thing about it after using this camera - what you see in the viewfinder is actually about half of what the camera actually picks up. What I actually had lined up in the viewfinder was the area in between the two horse candle holders. But, other than that, it seems to work pretty good. I'll have to run a whole roll through it for a further test. 35mmFF 01gf
