When someone gives you a bag full of old cameras, do not turn them away. Accept the package and look through it later to see what belongs in your collection and what does not. End of story

22 Nov 2010Looks like a Canon AE1 – but the EOS strap is throwing me off. How far off am I?

22 Nov 2010There 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

22 Nov 2010All 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.

22 Nov 2010I 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 :/
