New 50 year old toy.

[Perplexed]

I finally ordered the stuff for developing color. Here’s a few of the results. Fuji 400, Canon AE-1.

That center pic, at the lake, looks like it could have been taken 50 years ago. Nice job.

My late father’s AE-1 Program, kinda fun to play with.
I used it on a cub scout campout several years ago, they called me a hipster….….

I need to dig my version of this out. Looks very close. I need to get it with someone who would use it.

No, Paterson reel and tank.

That's really impressive consistancy for doing it by hand in a Paterson tank!

I need to post a picture of the camera gear I inherited from my stepmom to see if it’s worth holding onto or not

Do that, but be aware that used camera equipment doesn't bring much when one goes to sell them. At least, that's been the experience that I have seen.

On the other hand, one might find someone that just happens to be looking for what you have.

What is this thing called "film" that you speak of?

It is a clear plastic men put over the commode seat at night so if the wife/girlfriend needs to go in the middle of night the seat will be clean.

Found a Canon F1 at a local antique store. Camera and two lenses for $42.00. Just got it back from DC Camera in Dell City, he did a good clean, lube and alignment job on it.
For the younger folks here, this was Canon’s first professional camera, made to compete with the Nikon F and F2. Lots of journalists carried these tough as nails cameras. Waiting for the temps to warm up a bit so I can run a roll of film through it.

You got one heck of a fine camera. Congrats!
I bought an F1 at a PX overseas in the 70's for about $300 which was a bargain compared to stateside prices. Incredible camera. Lost it when the vehicle it was riding in was involved in a flood of my own undertaking. (long story)
