[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 99007, member: 10543"] Both lenses have a strange sort of grey pock-marking on them, like hundreds of little spots. I wonder if its mold? We gently cleaned the outside of the lenses, but I'm uncertain if it's on the inside or outside of the glasss. I'll take a look with a magnifier. I've not tried to activate the shutter. I'll bet that Marcel is right that it's sticky. Shooting some film would be fun. I wish I still had the basement darkroom I enjoyed as a kid! I guess it has two lenses because the photographer looks through one and the film is exposed through the other? (PS: I also found my old 35mm bulk film loader in the attic. As a kid, I'd buy paper and film in bulk. I remember calculating that I could shoot and print 3-1/2 x 5 b&w prints for a nickel each. :)) [/QUOTE]
