CAMERAS

Posted by on April 7, 2009

Today I went to the thrift store and bought 2 cameras. Inspired by Lea I wanted to shoot some analogue pictures again. When I got home, searching for film I still had hidden somewhere, I came across 2 other cameras I already had for a long time.

Top left is my Nikon F301, it’s a 35mm SLR camera and my parents bought me this one when I went to art school (I studied photography there for 1 year, after that I switched to graphic design). It’s a great camera, but pretty heavy.

Top right is a camera I totally forgot I had (I do the same thing with books etc.) and I have never used it. I think I got it somewhere at a flea market. Everything on it is in Russian, so I had no idea what camera it was, but I think I figured it out: a Russian version of a Zenith-E. It looks like it is in a good condition.

Bottom left is one of the cameras I just bought…I’m not sure if it works, but it looks nice anyway. It’s a Kodak Instamatic 104.

And then bottom right is the other one I just thrifted: the very light weighted Konica C35 EF-P.

I also own this flash, but it doesn’t fit on top of all cameras…

I love my digital camera, because it is so light, I take it everywhere I go. But I will give these a try, starting with the Zenith-E.

Ps. Sorry if the bright pink blanket hurts your eyes! :)

    I have one Zenit-E too! But I have never use it either. Maybe I’ll get inspired to use it after seeing your photos taken with it :)
    And I love to buy old film cameras! I have almost 30 cameras already but fortunately I finally learned how to control myself and stopped buying new ones!
