Canon camera stuff?

A bunch of bodies, lenses, bellows, motor drive, filters...some as new
in OEM canon boxes with original receipts! I also have a color
enlarger. I will keep my 2-1/4 stuff for a little while yet unless it
could sell reasonably.

If you have a 'Blad or a Maniya, you can get a Leaf digital back for
it. The fancy one is $12,000, but you can get the cheapie for $7,000.

I only shoot to document stuff anymore and a
digital will do. But nothing comes close to film for esthetics.

I consider digital cameras as throw-away conveniences. The most I spent
on one is $300 for a Fuji 5mp many years ago and I still like it a lot,
it has a good lens. I keep one in each vehicle and one in each desk. I
do shoot a half dozen rolls of 120 every year and keep one or two
slides...maybe.

Yeah, well, for me, it's an essential part of my work. I resisted
digital as long as I could. bur I took my wife's little Fuji FinePix
on a business trip to Belgium last year, not wanting to lug bigger
cameras and not knowing whether I'd find film there, and the results
were at least as good as I'd get with my 35's.

So I bought a Sony NEX-7 when I got home ($1,200), got a converter for
my six Nikon lenses, and I haven't looked back since.
I have a Nikon camera (EM?) that I used to use a lot, both for
personal and project photography - havent seen it for several years.
Junior was working in a computer store when I expressed an interest
in digital photography so he brought me home a camera which I found to
be of no use - probably about 0.2mp resolution. Next effort was a 1.2
mp Kodak which made me quite happy. After the battery compartment door
catch failed (elastic band solved that for several months) I recieved
a Canon 3.2mp for Xmas. This camera proved quite satisfactory but yard
sales/thrift shops have provided a couple of HP cameras, HP-M517 @
5.2mp & HP-M425 @ 5.0mp for $3.00 & $1.95 respectively.
Now I can feel free to snap at will and throw away (yeah right!) 90%
of them. When grandaughters were here in August. I sent home a 8Gb
thumb drive of holiday pix with them.
When one of my aquarium residents developed a white spot, I took a
picture, printed it and took it in for diagnosis. no end to uses for
digital photography, I'm hooked!
