Hi all;
Well, finally it happened. After all these years reading how pdml members
find lx's at garage sales for $10 or FA 24* lenses in trade for a moldy
beanie baby, I bought today a box of photo stuff for $17.
It contained a polaroid 250 Land camera, a bell and howell duolex-s movie
camera and (drum roll please) an all black rollei 35 s in mint condition. I
am giddy with glee, grinning from ear to ear. What a strange little camera!
Talk about non-intuitive controls! This must take the cake. Luckily, it
came with an owners manual. I am anxious to run some film with it. Also
picked up a spotmatic with case and super tak 501.4. Not at such a great
deal, but the condition was also near mint (no scratches on the base plate.
Ah, my wife for the first time, is happy after I bought photo equipment.
Very strange....
I actually want to try to use the polaroid but the B&H will probably be
ebayed. Both of these are in near mint condition. Too bad the film for the
polaroid is so expensive ($7.50 per B&H).
Just had to share.
