so what stayed and what went?
its all staying. just going to the storage unit until i have more space
Looks like a Canon AE1 – but the EOS strap is throwing me off. How far off am I?
There are 3 cameras in there. It’s an old Nikon bag with a N70, Canon AE-1 and another camera which I forgot what it is. It’s now in storage until I move and have more room to display my collection
All fun cameras to play with. I would suggest taking the AE-1 and getting it service to bring it up to snuff and then start using the thing. It’s a very basic camera – not even auto-advanced – but creates some exceptional quality shots (with the right film, of course). I have one…but I prefer my Nikon N2000 if only because it’s the camera I learned on (the very same…never sold it).
Every good photographer should have a half dozen out-dated bodies lying around.
I wouldn’t use. I prefer it to be on display with the rest of my collection. I have a bunch of functional film cameras I could use if I desired but prefer not using film. If there was a problem with the AE-1, there are no parts available for them anyway :/
