and raise you my 35mm Pentax SLR camera.
LOL. I had a Pentax SLR in the '70's, It was built like a brick. In the lat '80's, I had a Nikon. It was like somebody melted down a bank vault full of Swiss watches, and made cameras out of it. Wonderful! I probably shot 10,000
rolls through both. Just about the same time the Nikon died (for the third time - I decided not to have it overhauled again), digital cameras were becoming the rage. I've been through several of them, until I got a Canon EOS digital SLR as a gift. It has great optics, and enough features for me to do art with a camera. Roll film (and processing equipment) are still out there, but it's becoming a "lost art". You can get "Polaroids" too, but the pictures are credit card size. Too bad. I have my father-in-law's Polaroid 95B instant,
roll film camera. It folds, the lens is mounted on bellows, and it's in great condition for c.1957. I would seriously give it a run, if I could find contemporary film for it. NOS won't work. That stuff
does have a shelf-life!
Welcome to the party, Fatman! That looks like a pretty cool chop. Yeah, you're gonna keep it forever, and you don't care about titles, and VINs, but "Johnny Law" might have something else to say about it.... Behave and be safe!
And I just got rid of a perfectly good B&W TV. It was battery powered, and went with us on many camping trips (you don't want to miss the game, do you?), but we haven't been able to use it since TV signals went digital, and nobody makes a battery powered digital converter!
Again, welcome! Cheers!
