Finally gotten back the test roll! I've sent it to a family-run-Fujifilm lab this time round for fast developing (took 24 hours) as compared to my usual go-to Kodak lab which takes 3 days until collection! Even though it provides fast service and cost a dollar and ninety cheaper, I still prefer the latter. Why? well other than the clearer scanned images and strategic location (2 minute walk from my cribs), I have never seen a single scratch nor blotch in any of my images. Hands down for reliability.
Anyway, I've wanted it to be fast so that I can decide whether it is good enough to be brought along to my 4-day Bali trip this saturday!
The images looked pretty fine. They're not as sharp as how the cult followers claim it to be. But for a S$4 junk compact, i can't deny, it's well worth it. I've shot the entire roll under low light circumstances, so I can't tell right now how it'll fare under the harsh indo-tropical sun of Bali. Will see how it goes. And yes, I also find the data-back, quartz-imprinted date tad distracting.
