It followed you home and your Mom let you keep it? Excellent.

Whoa! What a deal. I bet you can find some good deals on slightly older cameras but this one beats the band.

Get us some bird and duck pics with it.

Is there anywhere that you’ll be able to get film developed?

Cool. I have a old Olympus OM-10 I found on E-Bay. Same camera I dropped off a balcony 20 years ago. The Oly looks great standing in the corner on a tripod.

I’ve got a similar SLR Canon from about the same era, gathering dust. I don’t know where I would find a battery or film for it. Great in its time.

I have a half dozen Nikon film bodies sitting my closet and even more lens to go with them. All I carry now is a Dx40 and an 18-200mm. I also have four other digital cameras in that closet.

Camera are like guns, never have enough.

I found a Minolta SRT200 the other day when cleaning out some junk. It has what looks like the stock lens...says 50mm. I think it belonged to my mom. Is this a decent camera?

I’ve got a Canon AE-1 from 1979 that I just remembered I loved! All sorts of lenses and filters. I am so thankful you jogged my memory! I need to find my dust rag and then I will be a woman on a mission. Thanks again and have fun with your find.

Awesome!
Good for you!
I thought of you today..
I saw a Hawk sitting on a telephone wire, and pulled over to watch him for a bit.
It was beautiful..
I think it was a sharp shinned hawk.

If that was a woman, I’d marry it.

Ok, I admit it, I’m chromasexual.

May God have mercy on my halide.

I still have a Nikon 8008S with a 35-70mm zoom, and the Nikon 80-200mm F2.8 zoom. The 35-70mm is a $565 lens, and the 80-200mm is a $900 lens.

One of the best lense I ever owned was the Nikon fixed focus 135mm F2.0 lens. Wish I did not let that one go.

Nice lens. I have an SRT-102 and a X-370 with MD & MC Rokkor-X 50mm lenses.

I learned the hard way that the X-370 is no good for astrophotography. The -102 is what is classified as a ‘combat camera’.

Good for you SS, being a tradesman, at times I still use hand tools that my Grandfather used. Sometimes they are the perfect application to perform a certain task. What is old is new again, sorta of like our Constitution!

I always liked the Nikon F-3 better than the 8—8S and I think the Nikon F 100 would be a cool 2nd film camera.

Digital can never match the dynamic range of film since it is silver based-(analog), but digital exceeds film in the amount of different colors it can process.

I like them both.

Yah... I’ve still got my old Nikon FE2 and a selection of Nikkor lenses, including a schweet Nikkor 100-300 f4 lens. [sigh] Not sure what to do with any of it.
