Re: Kodak Tourist camera

That was quick! (and you're welcome...) What's with the trumpets on the lower shelf? Are you some kind of a closet musician? I spent 20 years in the Navy as a Musician. Played trombone and baritone.

Re: Kodak Tourist camera

Re: Deadin gifted me a camera

expose a film at the different speeds That's the problem... The manual says the shutter speeds are 1/60th through 1/500th but there's no way to set them. Must have something to do with the "automatic" function. Besides, I don't have any film that will fit or a way to develop it if I did. ...

Re: Deadin gifted me a camera

Neat!! That took better pictures than I expected. (And they even look "vintage".)

This makes me want to shoot a couple of other vintage cameras I have. One is a Super Ikonta BX folder and another is a Rollei 16 miniature.

Thanks again,

.455 Triplelock with History

Here's a S&W .455 1st Model (Triplelock) that I used in a display to be entered at a S&W Collectors Association Symposium.

The theme of the Symposium was "If this Old Gun Could Talk" and it was awarded the trophy for the best theme display.
