We went to an antique store in Lawrence, MA today. I was looking for camera gear and not expecting to find anything.
I was right that there wasn’t much to see, but I did see one that has me super intrigued.
$79 seems way too much for this, but I am going to spend some time on the YouTube doing some research and maybe I might go back again. Folding cameras from pre-war are sort of what I was thinking of for my first step into the medium format world.
We’ll see.
I probably shouldn’t have done it but…
I went to ebay tonight and put a very small bid onto a very, very old film camera. Does it work? Maybe. I wouldn’t have bid if the top bid at the time wasn’t really, really low because the camera is older than my parents and who knows if it functions at all.
I want to dip my toes into medium format film, and folding cameras from the 1930’s seem like the least expensive starting point… and a $25.25 bid isn’t going to hurt the bottom line.
The auction ends tomorrow… we’ll see.
