Mine took pretty good pictures, saved me tons and tons on film, processing and printing, and worked fine, till it didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Having no pictures to post also offers me a perfect excuse to avoid writing about what I did over the weekend, which mostly amounted to hiking 10 miles uphill, camping out, waking up the next morning, stowing all my gear and walking 10 miles downhill where I started.
