The camera is Canon Rebel Xs with EF 35-80/4-5.6 kit lens that was given to me by a friend a couple of weeks ago. He found it sitting in the trash bin, just thrown out, when he was going to the car to drive over to the cafe and meet me for coffee, so he picked it up and brought it along. I wiped it down with one of those pre-wetted bathroom sanitizing towels as it was filthy, put in a fresh battery, and fitted a roll of ancient Kodak Royal Gold 200 II that had been sitting in a drawer since 2000. The original intent was to see if the camera's film transport worked, but it seemed to be working so well I just carried it to a party and shot off the whole roll of film. I set the ASA to 100. What I got back from processing was 24 amazingly good negatives ... color shifted all over the place, a little grainy, but otherwise just fine.
