Good on you!
I had a pristine Olympus SLR with expensive lens, sitting on a galley counter while we were sailing. I guess we healed, the camera slid off and into the trash bucket.
Many beer cans were later flipped into the bucket, but long after tossing the trash bag into the dumpster I realized that my $1,000 camera was missing.
I gave away the rest of the $thousands of of various lenses for that great camera.
Now I’m point and shoot, Canon ELPH.
Good luck with your find!
Nice. Most people wouldn’t know a real camera if it walked up and snapped them in the arse.
I have a Hasselblad 503 just sitting in a case. I can’t sell it and I can’t use it.
Thanks for the ping! Ive seen a few of these here and there but am not an owner. That looks pretty factory to me. :)
Will this be a shooter or a shelfer for you?
I picked up a very nice baby Grey Rollieflex at a local thrift store but it was expensive, I think $20.
Hey! I have that model. My auntie had the model “A” 135 that I ended up with. She was a world traveller, have tons of color slides of Europe from the early 50s that were taken with that. I still have it.
It takes decent enough photos. Interestingly enough, I noticed the lens is at least as radioactive as the check source on my Geiger counter. It must be the coatings used, maybe as a kind of polarizing effect? If the angle is right the blue-sky colors are pretty neat. wish I could post some prints here that have taken with that ole’ thing.
f4.5 ,,, max shutter 1/200th ... no focusing ability ,, guess focus (zone focus) ,, you overpaid at $3 ,, they made better cameras as far back as the 1920’s ,, I’ve bought quality german rangefinders at garage sales .. did you at least get a light meter so the camera would be useful?
I own a tiny Minolta:
