recent finds
after having seen numerous examples of how great analogue color photos can look i have succombed. yesterday i went to the large furniture (and just about everything else) second hand store nearby and couldn’t help but look in the used cameras, binoculars and other stuff department. i found a great pair of binoculars which will come in handy when bird watching on the heath and i also found a canon camera from the 70s in a model called canonet G-III QL17. it’s not an SLR camera but from what i found out from my quick research it’s a small classic. apparently it was called the “poor woman’s/man’s leica” and as i am in fact a bit strapped for cash these days it suits me well. i also found a nice cross stitch of a fair lady.

Nice finds, good job! I can’t wait for the pictures that come out of that camera!
I have some analogue cameras myself too, but they aren’t really old. Maybe I should just take a chance and buy an old weird one too…

ai: thanks, i hope so too, have been taking pictures with it yesterday and today and i am very eager to see the result! fingers crossed.
maike: i have been trying not to, but since it was very cheap i couldn’t resist.
mette: ja, mine forventninger er ikke høje, der er så meget der kan gå galt og er heller ikke helt fortrolig med dens funktioner endnu. jep, måske skulle man overveje lidt spionage : )
rynke: you really don’t know what you get…but i have had fun this far..but maybe when i get the over/under exposed results i will think otherwise : )
jeanette: no it’s so tempting to try out different cameras. i love the way different models produces different looks. i love the cross stich. just have to put it on the wall.
nicki: your welcome, you and your nikon FE take beautiful photos! i will post the images as soon as i can scan them. think i will finish the film tonight.
