Now to take some pictures and send it to the next one (Missed festival season though).

Who gets it next ?
Hurray!

I'm happy with the Camera bouncing around in Scandanavia for a while. Stockholm ahoy!

Anyone else in Stockholm (or vicinity) still around, for a personal handoff? Or where does it go to next?

Stockholm, cool!

I think the next destination is either Finland or Germany.

Somebody from either of those places (or, I guess Denmark or somebody else in Sweden) tell us why nielsm should send it your way next.

I got three rolls of Portra400 here in Helsinki and I'm not afraid to use 'em. Autumn is moving towards winter rather rapidly, so it would be pretty great to get the camera here before all the trees turn from bright reds and yellows to dead brown. Photography-wise I'm leaning towards a tour of the 18th century Suomenlinna sea fortress, the architecture of the russian period in Helsinki and obviously some catte photos.

Posted some pictures, with hilarious colors. (Still learning to fix that balance, 5 years expired film doesn't particularly make it either either.)
I think the camera has caught a small light leak.

As if you could survive that psychologically, you'd be posting every two hours asking where the ME Super is and making sure it's safe.

Would you mind posting descriptions along with the pics? I've been to Stockholm a couple of times (awesome city) but I can't remember the names of anything at all.

Well, I can't edit the posts myself, and Tumblr's email parser seems to get confused by the way Gmail lays out mails with image attachments. Maybe if I ask ExecuDork nicely he'll edit them for me :) (Sending PM.)

Why, it's an ME Super. It'll go through hell and back and be ok (until the film lock lever get too cold and stops slipping, I suppose).

Light leaks add character. Just like expired film, or cross-processing, or getting ...touched... by Mr. Despair.

EDIT: Somebody figure out a way to sign the case on Klogdor's behalf. I'm thinking something obnoxious/insulting, of course. I leave it to whatever inherent intra-Scandanavian rivalry exists to figure out the details.

I've added a body cap and an extra lens back-cap to the box, and two rolls of fun B/W film (orthochromatic document film) including instructions.

I also have a bad FD-system flash I'd be fine with parting with, but it doesn't fit in the blue case. Keep it, or ship outside the case?

Don't worry about the flash, they're a dime-a-dozen in most places (I'm looking at you, Perth, as the exception) and two packages would make this way too complicated. I have a fully functional FD-system, Canon-brand flash that didn't fit.

Thanks for adding those things, sounds like fun.

Define "soon". This project moves at a pretty slow pace, because Goons. It'll return Stateside eventually.

Actually I'm pretty sure it'll end up in a back alley gambling parlor in Saigon playing russian roulette to sustain its crippling heroin addiction. That camera's seen some poo poo, man.

Well if I'm okay with long travel times (about 14 hours total) I can get a ferry + train trip one way (Stockholm to Helsinki) for around 213 SEK. Alternatively, a discount air ticket for 199 SEK, but gently caress getting from central Stockholm to Arlanda airport. Seriously, if you can help it don't fly to Stockholm.

So yeah, I might almost just have taken a short vacation and deliver it in person. Also there's some nice sights on the ferry while sailing out of the Stockholm archipelago, past Åland and into Turku.
