Not a bad deal. Post the photos when you get them developed.

Sometimes you have to modify the back a bit. You can usually cut a mask from a bit of poster board so that a 116 camera will shoot 120 film in a pretty nice panoramic type negative. Im sure you knew that. I never had much luck with anything over 116 but I usually butcher them for the lens anyway.
