The one that had the 1600 film speed for Tri-X was a Lubitel that my
partner found abandoned at his school. These used to sell for about $40 I
think, so it's hard to be too mad at it for a gimp shutter.
The others are old cameras from the seventies. I did have them worked on
locally, and they are closer to the manufacturer's speed. The old Minolta
is about 600.
