Thrift Score: Camera Finds

Three film cameras from Goodwill

We hit up the Goodwill today before dinner, just for something to do, and I came away with three cameras:

  1. Kalimar 3D 35mm camera, with box and manual… and unused envelope for getting 3D prints with your developing.
  2. Ultronic panoramic 35mm focus free with a half-exposed roll of found film. (I might have passed on this one if not for the found film.)
  3. Canon Sure Shot 80 tele. I don’t usually go for point-and-shoot zooms, but I follow a couple of film photography bloggers who have an affinity for some of these, so I figured I’d take a chance on romance. If nothing else, I donate it back and recoup my $3 on my taxes.

I was proud of myself for leaving a broken rangefinder at the thrift for someone else. I have enough broken rangefinders at home already.

As soon as I got home, I loaded two AA batteries and a roll of ISO 400 into the 3D camera. Can’t wait to see what comes out of that!

Got something to say?
