Vintage cameras

When we are out on our picks we are not only looking for vinyl, we also keep our eyes pealed for cameras of any kind. We've had some luck lately finding a few cameras. 
The first camera id s Kodak 35 that we bought from St. Francis in Bluffton. They seem to always have camera stuff so it's always on our list of places to stop and check out. The day we bought this the shop was having a 50% off store wide sale. We ended up getting this late 40's early 50's beautiful vintage piece for $5. When we got it home we cleaned it up and found out that, now matter how hard we try, It will not fire. As sad as I am that I won't be able to shoot on it, it will look great next to our other cameras.

 The next camera is this 80's Contax, that we also got at St. Francis on that same day. It's in great shape and came with a whole bunch of stuff in it's camera bag, like a battery grip and all the original manuals.  Mr. Empty put in some new batteries and popped some film in and it was ready to shoot on! 

The last camera is one that I bought as a present for Mr. Empty. I bought it from a mutual friend and it's in really good condition. He was been looking for a Canon AE-1 at a good price for a while so I was really happy to surprise him with this! Our friend was also happy that it was going to a good home.
