my wife and myself went to my grand mother's house last night for an early xmas dinner with her and my aunt,well she walked out with a dusty duffel bag and said ,"this was your grand father's and it's yours now",(he passed away in 79),
.
well I was amazed,
.
this is what it was>
.
.
this 35mm film camera was produced from 1976-84
.

.

.and all these old mint condition books

.

.most have around this copyright date

I am pretty excited about receiving this stuff

Score

What lenses are those?

Dan · Post by **Dan** » Sat Dec 19, 2009 8:19 pm

a canon 50mm f1.8
a canon 50mm f1.4
a vivitar 80-200mm f4.5
a jcpenny 135mm f2.8
a canon 70-210mm f4

but they don't work on the new series of canons,

there might be an adapter,but another forum said it doesn't work too well.

I still have my AE-1 that I bought when I was in the Navy. I haven't used it in ages though. I also have a Yashica Minister D.

Dan, where do you host your images?

Just curious, I have hundreds I've posted and still only used about 10% of my available space.

I just use the 50mb in the "file manager" here at SG,

if anyone hasn't seen pictures that I post in a couple weeks,then oh well ! I figure it's time to go on to the next one.

True, just mentioning there are other places where you don't have to purge them as often.

I like my host because I can pull up a couple years worth of dog shots at work for my coworkers.

They run now when I ask them if they saw such and such picture
