Minolta XG7 sample pictures


Taken with a 50mm 1.7 lens. 

Minolta XG7



A Minolta XG7 35mm camera that I borrowed from a friend. Sadly, the shutter speed does not work (it is stuck). Because of this, most of the photos did not turn out.

Minolta SRT 102 sample pictures


Here is a sample picture taken with my Minolta SRT 102. There is a light leak on the camera, which I will fix as soon as I receive the repair kit. You can see the light leak pretty obviously on the bottom of the photo. I purchased the repair kit from a wonderful ebay seller. His username is interslice. He even provides instruction on how to repair your light leak in your camera.

Here is my new Minolta SRT 102. It was produced starting in 1973. It is one of the first cameras to have a metering system in it.

Kodak Instamatic Camera 124


This camera was produced from 1968-1971. It uses 126 type film. Because of this I will not be testing it out, but its still a nice addition to my growing collection.

Canon Sure Shot (New) color photos

Here are a few of the color photographs. Sadly, someone was looking at the camera and hit the rewind button half way through my film.




Canon Sure Shot (New)


This camera was made in 1983 and was an update to the original Sure Shot version. Its sports a 38mm f2.8 lens. This camera uses 35mm film. I have already ran some color film through this camera, and it produces wonderfully saturated results. I am currently running some black and white through it, to see how it turns out. I am very excited.

Time Camera Results

Here are some results of the Time toy camera I purchased recently. It is terrible for low light/ night photographs, but if you take some photos in the daylight its much better.

New camera

I have received a 35mm toy camera that I ordered from eBay last
week. I only paid $7! It's a great plastic toy camera that was
given out as a promotional camera from Time Magazine in the 1980s. Hopefully it will take a nice variety if pictures. We will
just have to wait and see!

Another photo taken on the way to my Dad's. The actual location is unknown. The middle of nowhere in Missouri would be pretty accurate.

First Post


I'm going to start my blog by posting one of my favorite pictures. It was taken while driving to my Dad's house.
