Small Cameras From "The Old Days"
« on: January 29, 2016, 21:32:17 »
I was walking past the shelf where I have a bunch of the older cameras I used to work with, and noticed these three small 35mm cameras.  For those who don't know, these are full frame 35mm cameras.  We used these around the world and got many good photos which were used in a number of magazines. Pretty good lenses, but the main thing, of course, is that you could have a camera with you anywhere. 

Ah  .  .  .  The Old Days.

Great photo! You must have a really good camera.

Three among the best. I considered getting a Minox long ago, alongside the T90...

I still have my copy of the Olympus and with its A11 flash.  It still works and is a nice one to retain. 

I also have the Olympus IIRC and a Canon G17 somewhere.  The Canon was a nice machine with its 40mm f/1.7 lens and excellent rangefinder and viewfinder.
