Medium term memory loss. As I've come over all 127 the last couple of weeks, I resurrected the Sporti 4, and was pleased to try out a flash and find that it fired, sans film. Oh joy.

Heigh bloody ho. As I remember it now, the flash fired, apparently as one clicked the shutter, but must have fired out of synch. Other posts indicate I went at it with WD40, at some point... I wrote back in 2009, " What I'm after is a kind of flash-gun look, where the background is in deep shadow, and the foreground overlit. And I want to do that with a very simple camera like the Sporti 4, to get the vignetting and other distortions." Nothing has changed. I've got the F for straightforward photography, but a very simple 127 camera, with flash, is the thing. ...
