I think I purchased the Vivitar V3800N because I felt sorry for it. Have you ever purchased a camera out of pity? I know, this sounds a bit strange. I reasoned, “If I don’t purchase this camera, it’s going to end up lost or in the trash.” A terrible fate for a camera less than…
If you had to choose one point and shoot camera to get the job done, which one would you choose? The Canon 130u is a Good Value This is a delightful camera. I purchased it for five dollars in the summer of 2010 at a garage sale in Lindenhurst, IL. Then I found another Canon 130u…
I don’t know much about my new Zenit-E but I do have an idea of where it’s been. The journey of a camera made approximately in 1975. It was manufactured in Krasnogorsk just outside Moscow, Russia (A). I purchased it from an eBay vendor very near to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (B). And the…
I own three Canon Sure Shot Classic 120 cameras, and I still don’t know if I’m going to sell any of them on eBay or keep them. You should think twice about buying one. My Canon Sure Shot Classic 120 was produced about 1999. Apparently, a lot can happen in 12 years to break these…

I own a bunch of film cameras purchased for ten dollars or less. Some that I have tested with film, some that remain untested. Some people boast on their photography websites about their best camera purchases or “steals”. The cameras listed below aren’t steals. I think you can find these cameras for under ten bucks. …
I prefer my Canon A35F over my Canonet 28 if I’m grabbing a quick camera for some shots. They’re both very good. It’s just that the Canon A35F is normally cheaper than the Canonet 28. Have you read about the Canonet 28? Have you ever seen the movie named Pecker about the rise and stumble…
This is my review for a like new Yashica Lynx 1000 that is over 50 years old. To be brief, if you can purchase it at a good price and it works, enjoy. It’s a nice rangefinder. Here’s a taste of what a Yashica Lynx 1000 can do with ASA 200 speed film. Yashica Lynx…
