I found this little baby in the basement and am going to use it in photo class! It certainly is a blast from the freaking 70s. What do you think? Any tips or any valuable info on this? Anybody use this and want to post some pics? I know it was very popular back then...









Finished.

 

wtb.

 

 

 

i have one of those dunno how to use it. my grandma gave it to me a while ago

 

It's a 1971 Canon FTb, my dad owned it and took some amazing pictures, it is now passed on to me. If any of you enjoy the work of Ansel Adams, this was one of his many cameras (not the same camera, but same model, blah you get the idea). I personally love his work and collect his books. I am extremely excited right now...

 

dope, i gotta old camera too, but probably not as old but from the 80's, looks similar though, its a AE-1

 

i have the same camera...... sweet ***

 

doesn't require batteries to take photos (yes some newer model cameras will w/limited functionality)

 

word I got a Canon AE-1 for photo class, good camera

 

i also got a canon ae-1 old school cam.

 

Cool,
I like those oldschool cameras alot.
they've got flavor.

anyone remember the Nikon F ???

 

 

dont you need batteries for the light meter and thats about it right

 

expletive the dark side

it's a great beginner film camera, most highshools use them for photoclass, good priced back then, and you can get some nice captures.

Ya, there is a small watch size battery for the light meter. Nice to see others like Ansel Adams...

 

My professor today let me mess with his 40 year old camera. did not take a not of the name of it but the point is is that those camera's can take great shots and are built like a tank (at least on the outside)

 

ya they sell a bunch of those on ebay. cool cam

 

my dad has the same camera in great shape. looks good.

 

gotta love a good classic

 

yeah i used to work at auctiondrop.com

we'd get ALOT of these types of cameras going through there. They're really nice,
just love how solid they feel, and function.

 

It is pretty crazy that they do all of it with out batteries and take some amazing pictures on top of it. Finely tuned machines just like my car (I wish)....

 

throwback!
