I took my walk on Saturday with my latest in camera acquisitions in my hands: a vintage 1941 Robot II. One of the challenges of using this camera was figuring out how to scan the 24x24mm format negatives efficiently. Took a bit of trial and error, but I got VueScan to drive the Nikon Coolscan V film scanner just right, to the point where I can scan a seven frame strip in less than ten minutes.
I'm pleased with how this first roll has come out. This is the unedited scan index sheet: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gdgphoto/8464414230/lightbox The camera is a delight to use. Wind it up and you can shoot up to a dozen or more exposures as fast as you can press the shutter release. Great for capturing those fast moving facial expressions and moving subjects. I'm going to have a lot of fun with it. enjoy!
