they were, the lens itself is apparently 3.5kg! i can now work on my biceps without using traditional weightsYour arms must have been quite tired, too.
However, I've put new batteries in, they work with the battery test, but the shutter speed needle in the viewfinder doesn't budge. Are there any common failings there that are easily fixed? If not, it will turn out he has lent it to me (rather than given it!)...
I agree Adrian, the F4 is great camera, not the ugliest of the F's though, that honour falls to the F3.
I really like the F4 and am lucky enough to have the small hand grip battery pack so I can either have it as an F4 or 4s. I also think it's the most comfortable to use of the F family.
Will you leave the poor little F3 alone...Its not pretty but I think it has a rugged masculine charm...and its a bloody good camera.

Like Andy though I don't think the F3 is ugly. it was the first F I owned (from new as well) so I might be biased
Received my Ensign Selfix 820 today and all's not well. The seller is a house clearance place in Suffolk and while their description was brief, it did say the camera is in very good condition. What they didn't mention was that it's come from a smoker's house judging from all the crud I've cleaned off it tonight and the slow speeds (everything below 1/25s) don't work.
Still, it was cheap compared to how much these tend to go for and I opened a case through ebay asking for a partial refund as a contribution towards a CLA. I wasn't hopeful but they must have an automatic response configured because they've already accepted my offer so it's ended up as a bit of a bargain at £24 net
Rather poor picture taken using compact camera with on-board flash ...

If I were you I'd fire of a mail to Miles, he got my 12-20 working perfectly.
Wow! That's a proper bargain Mr snap.Mmm, I seem to have just bought a medium format slide projector for £15......
Wasn't that a kids TV show from the 60's 'Andy and his Magic Torch'?Wait, is it a big torch?
