I still buy a camera now and again

I started this forum for any collecting hobby and it turned into my camera collecting and using forum. I use it mostly to keep a record of my photo adventures. Nobody but me seems to have photo adventures that visit here....but however. I have so many cameras now that I forget which is which and which ones work and which ones don't. If you have cameras and adventures you would be welcome to post here.

I still buy a camera now and again

Post by Niner » Sat Nov 02, 2019 3:20 pm

After the photo upload went away I still was playing with cameras and adding a new one now and then. While the site was in limbo I had been posting my adventures on a facebook site for vintage camera users. Of course facebook is a here today and gone tomorrow proposition. I liked being able to post here.... I can go back and see what had posted and revisit some older possessed cameras to remind myself if they worked and some of the oddities of function many cameras have. Here is one I posted recently on the facebook page.
I picked up a Canon EOS 630 the other day to go with my Canon EOS 620 and EOS 650. Like the others in the 600 series this camera was a late 80's wonder. It was before the dial with the program images stage and there were a list of numbers on the back you could run through for programs and dial them in if you want. It does auto focus and auto programs as well down to manual settings. Multiple exposure, bracketing and other good features. It feels substantial and reliable in the hand. My developing time was off enough to produce really thin negatives ....but the camera works fine for something manufactured 30 years ago.
