I am happy with the way this mod came out. It looks strikingly similar to the 250 I completed a little bit ago. But with the obvious improvement of including an electronic development timer on the back.
Obviously there are still a few problems that can not be fixed. The finder can not completely fold down. And the lens won't allow the front plastic housing to be put back on. But I think it closes compact enough.
I like the textured front, it really keeps the entire project looking original.
The entire camera is now complete. Ready to shoot.
