New vintage cameras
I’m excited …
By the wonders of eBay I have just acquired a Minolta Dynax 5 with 28-80mm, 75-300mm and 200mm Lens and a Ricoh KR-10 with what looks like a 50mm Standard Lens. I also got a Pentax MZ-5 Semi Pro 35mm camera to add to my collection.
I feel some new Vintage Camera posts coming ….
I know that 35mm is considered dead but it’s leading to some incredible bargains at the moment. I honestly believe that these cameras are an investment and in 20 years time they will be worth quite a lot, especially the ‘classic’ cameras. I still have an OM-1 on my list, and a Canon AE1, and a Nikon F75 and a …….. !!
35mm is far from dea in my world. I just acquired a couple of nice vintage cameras too. A minolta A5 and a Konica Auto S2. Both in really good shape. Kind of fun to be shooting cameras that are 50 years old or so. If you find a good reliable seller, let me know okay and I will share too.
Yes I agree – I’m looking forward to trying a few rolls
Excellent! In my opinion, there’s room for both. Looking forward to your vintage camera posts!
Thanks, I’m looking forward to writing them !
Apparently the UK is leading something of a 35mm revival so get those cameras bought while they’re still cheap!
I think you’re right. I’ve been amazed at the prices of some cameras on eBay at the moment so I’m trying to pick up examples of all the models I used to yearn over
I, too, am looking forward to this upcoming post.
