I'll take the poo poo Camera for Idiots from MrBlandAverage if he's willing to let it stagnate in Portland more.

The Canon has left my care, and is heading for Sweden right now.

Hurray! I was just going to come in here and ask for an update. Post your pics to the Tumblr as soon as you can, please.

And I have the camera! 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.

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.)

Light leaks add character. Just like expired film, or cross-processing, or getting ...touched... by Mr. Despair.Klogdor posted:1. Crap, I forgot to sign the case. PM sent! 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?

Think the camera will be anywhere near the southeastern United States sometime soon?

ExecuDork posted: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.

ExecuDork posted: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. Some time between now and the next ten decades I wouldn't expect to see it in under four months or so

Well whaddaya know, the camera is actually leaving Sweden now! Finally got off my lazy rear end and sent it. Cost for Sweden to Finland: 360 SEK (about $55 USD) I also forgot to sign the case.

ExecuDork posted:Ouch! How does that compare to a round-trip ticket (train/bus/cheapflight/whatever)? 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.
