The Argus is the only one of the three that still sees regular use. Those lenses are 35mm, 50mm and 100mm with a lens hood, by the way. My dad says they used to call C3's "the Brick" since it looked like...well...a brick. The Bolsey (the one on the right) has a jammed focus ring, so unless I'm taking landscapes it's useless. It also leaks light pretty bad. The Vario, the accordian-style one on the left, uses 120mm roll film but the film takeup spool is stuck inside the back, so if you were to shoot a whole rool, it would be impossible to get the roll out without destroying either the film or the camera! quote: Brings a whole new meaning to,"Now you're playing with power." I'm hoping that Clinton can finish the hack...it has a lot of promise. It just needs some additional cutting to get the PSU and hard drive to fit.

Hey Cinemo -- do you still have toe guts to the NES, working or not, I want to salvage the stock power and reset switches, and hotwire them to the NES. The ports are another thing that I want to have, since I may be using them, if I decide not to use this as a server, I can hotwire them to serial or ADB ports for joysticks to use for playing classic 68k games. the perfect hack case for the 68k gaming machine! anyway, thanks CCC Lieutennant Commander (Pronounced Leftennant) 68k Macs Rescued: 2 Pluses, a 512KE, a Classic II, a Q650, a Q660AV, and a MacII Contraband rescued: Power Computing PowerBase 200, a PM 8600/300, and a PM8500/180 Apple //s rescued: Apple //e

The Lightning Stalker Full Member USA 747 Posts	Posted - 25 Jan 2003 : 15:23:01 Actually, I'm a little into photography myself. I don't take as many pictures as I used to, though, before I decided I was gonig to work with computers. I inherited a few cameras from my great aunt and grampa when they died. It's all just sophomore stuff and not really collector's specials, but interesting nonetheless. (to me, at least) Yashika SRT-101 (Screw mount!): 50-350mm zoom (I think) cheap f/8 minimum, though 50mm 25mm 3 macro rings Rubber eye cushion Pentax Ashai (miniature 110mm SLR spy camera) 150mm 50mm Another one, like Canon or Minolta or something that I only used once or twice. 50mm My dad used to take astrophotos with his telescope. He's got a nice Miranda Laboric (might be spelled Laborec?) for that, and then he's got 2 Minoltas and some lenses for portraits, etc. I think the telescope is a 10" Meade or maybe it's a Schmidt Casagrain (sp? again) if anyone knows anything about that. Then I've got a Agfa e-Photo 760c .75 Megapixel digital camera I've been trying to sell. It takes really great pictures. I was hoping for around $110. It comes with all Mac/WIN software, documentation, and cables. It's even got an RCA video output to view the pictures on a TV. It uses SmartMedia and comes with a 4Mb card. It's a point-and-shoot. (not SLR)
The Lightning Stalker Full Member USA 747 Posts	Posted - 25 Jan 2003 : 15:30:16 llamaboy487 just said: quote: i also have a Canon AE-1 SLR Oh yes! That's the SLR I used to use in high school on loan from the photo club teacher. Those are good solid ones and really common, too. quote: The shutter mechanism is screwed up somehow, but i really want to get it fixed, because its a really nice SLR otherwise... Does the light meter work? One of the most common problems is the battery leaks and corrodes the wires that go to it, breaking connnection. It's not very hard to fix and you can probably do it yourself, considering your experience with 68ks.

llamaboy487 Full Member USA 516 Posts	Posted - 25 Jan 2003 : 15:40:42 hmm... perhaps this belongs in the "offshoot of 68kmla" thread, but I have a phpBB that's not being used for anything at all, and i'd like it to get used ... I toyed with dedicating it to "retrocomputing" but with all of the camera enthusiasts present in the 68kmla, would anyone else be interested if i converted my forum over for use as a "vintage camera liberation army?" I think it'd be a good idea, kind of an illegitimate child of the 68kmla.

llamaboy487 Full Member USA 516 Posts	Posted - 25 Jan 2003 : 16:22:31 lightning stalker: I think the problem might just be the battery. I'm going to get a new one and see if it works then... or actually the person who gave it to me said it wasn't taking "good pictures" and that was the reason they got a new camera... so actually it may be the light meter. i'll have to get a 6v battery first to see if that whats going on. how DO you fix it? Trash80tog-4: hmm. i guess youre right, i just had in mind something like the 68kmla for cameras. Well, i still have a forum with no purpose and no registered users (except a friend of mine) so i think i'll do it anyway... it's here but i haven't created a vintage camera forum yet. ------------- Special Ops, 578th Performa Division 68k Macs Liberated: 2 ...because no one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

The Lightning Stalker Full Member USA 747 Posts	Posted - 25 Jan 2003 : 20:23:05 llamaboy487: quote: how DO you fix it? I'd try the new battery first to make sure it's not just the battery. If that doesn't work, then: I don't recall off hand exactly where the AE-1 battery hole is, but usually a SLR camera is in 3 main pieces. The top, bottom, and middle, or the rest of the body. The top and bottoms are like "pans" that cover up the gutz inside. There are usually a few "jeweler's" size slot-head screws around the top and bottom that hold them in, and then there might be others on the film rewind and advance knobs. Sometimes there's a little bit of creativity involved (such as the way Performa 630s are put together). If the top or bottom won't come off easily, try to figure out what's still holding it on and avoid pulling hard, otherwise you could break it worse. Just make sure you don't take off more than what you need to get at, as this also risks damaging other parts. For instance, only take off the top if the battery is in the top, or the bottom if it goes there. Once you can get at the wires, look for some green around the battery terminals or they might not be connected at all/pull off. That means the battery leaked on them and corroded them. Volia! There's your problem. What cleans up those white battery acid crystals best is lemon juice concentrate. It should bubble them right up. Make sure you clean those out really good, or they will eat the wires again. Now that it's clean, cut off as little of the damaged wire as possible and strip&tin it. Then solder it back on. You do know how to solder, right? Then test it with a fresh battery BEFORE putting it back together to make sure the light meter works. If it works, then put it back together and hopefully it will still work and you didn't break any of the mechanical parts in the process. If it doesn't, then something else is wrong. Take it to someone who knows more about it and can get parts, ie. a real camera store. Or, just cut your losses. Edited by - The Lightning Stalker on 25 Jan 2003 20:25:56
llamaboy487 Full Member USA 516 Posts	Posted - 25 Jan 2003 : 20:59:14 Awesome! I'll have to try that if the new battery doesnt fix my problem.

It's a HUGE Newvicon Tube based (shoulder mount) Proline Camera that has amazing image quality. Never did get the portable VTR to go with it. I've always hooked up to the inputs on a standard VCR using a Power Supply and a loooooooong extension cord made specifically for it.

Because I didn't get the VTR, I bought mine with the special AC Adapter.
