[SWAMPSNIPER]

It's 35mm. I shoot a lot of digital but I really love the old SLRs. I started out to collect Minolta stuff, then a Pentax sneaked in, and since then it's out of control.

I try to keep everything working but still end up with some junkers.

This Canon is pristine, needed a tiny drop of lube but nothing else.

I, too, have a soft spot in my heart for the old SLR's. When I started using them, in 1969, the pentaprism and focal plane shutter were state of the art. I bought my Spotmatic in Japan while I was in hospital at Yokosuka - took some great shots with it if I say so myself. During my undergrad days I was working as a Research Assistant at University of Maryland Hospital in Baltimore. I had the use of a Nikon Photomic FTN, and later an F2. Also a humongous Polaroid copy camera with light table. I was working in the Nuclear Medicine Department making images of tumors and preparing illustrations for lectures, etc. Had many a great day with the F2, which I was allowed to take home every day. So much different today!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
