Canon EX Auto [1972]

By Peter on May 31, 2017 0

Have you ever picked up a camera which seemed so familiar, so “right”, that it just felt great in your hands?  That’s what the EX Auto feels like to me – with that early 1970s twist. When researching the history of Canon cameras, an interesting little evolutionary dead end occurred in the late 60s and […]

Canon T60 [1990]

By Peter on May 30, 2017 0

Let’s just get this one out of the way… I don’t see myself ever using this camera. Officially this is the last Canon branded manual camera based on the FD lens mount, although it came out 3 years after the incompatible EF lens mount still used today.  This camera seems to exist only to allow a low […]

Canon A1 (black, databack) [1978]

By Peter on May 29, 2017 0

This came from a local sale.  The owner wanted to offload a bunch of 4 or 5 older cameras, all original purchases from his family.  It was a simple “lets meet and haggle” type arrangement.  His post didn’t even list this camera, and had a slightly blurry photo which included a nice Argus Astigamatic and […]

Mamiya ZE [1980]

By Peter on May 12, 2017 0

One of the last 35mm cameras from Mamiya, yet it still showcases innovation from this long time Japanese manufacturer. I received my copy as part of a camera swap.  It uses a unique battery loader, utilizing a plastic carriage which holds four LR44 type batteries as a series, which as a whole inserts in the […]

Polaroid SX-70 [1972]

By Peter on May 9, 2017 0

This SX-70 was picked up along with a collection of many other cameras.  It worked out to about $5 per camera in the box, though this and the beautiful Polaroid 95a were surely the cream of the crop.  Unlike the SX-70 Alpha SE, this model does not have a tripod mount, nor the strap lugs. […]

Polaroid SX-70 Alpha SE [1977]

By Peter on May 8, 2017 0

My first Polaroid SX-70, the Alpha SE, came from a happenstance last minute run through an estate sale in my local neighborhood.  Two of the cameras which had been for sale had still not been sold: a beat up old Minolta which I passed on, as well as a Polaroid SX-70, Alpha SE with the […]
