OT: FS For Sale Film Cameras, Olympus OM-1, Nikon F

[Mark Roland]

I've seen the occasional post for film cameras here on RBWOB; if I am out of bounds let me know. These are for taking photographs of your Rivendell bike. Will consider trade for Platypus or Charlie Gallup. I love the idea of shooting film , and I did when I was younger, including a few courses in college. But after shooting a couple of rolls recently, I realized I do not currently have the life style to support this pursuit. Hopefully someone here does.

1. Olympus OM-1 I put in one of those batteries for the light meter that, once you open package, has a limited life from what I understand. This can also be converted to take a more traditional battery. Camera works great, includes straps, case, and manuals.  $95 plus $20 flat rate large box.

2. Nikon F.  A real 1970s work horse.  $40. Plus shipping 8x8x8 box, 4lbs from 12508.

3. Diax 1a 35mm viewfinder See here for info: https://www.shutterbug.com/content/diax-family-lineup-versatile-35mm-cameras

$30 plus same shipping as Nikon.

4. Minolta SRT-100 My old camera from college. $20, plus same shipping as Nikon. (strap is worth it!)

5. vintage canvas domke bag.  Like this one, but in better shape. I had vague ideas of turning this into a cool handlebar bag. But I have a cool handlebar bag. Plus I don't really use handlebar bags, cool or otherwise. $70 shipped.

Please reply off list. Thanks.

Cool cameras Mark. I used a SRT100 on jobs at a giant factory in Los Angeles, on the west slope of the Rockies, superfun_d sites in CA and TX, and in England and Turkey. Ioved being able to control the exposures, but man it was heavy some times, the electronic point and shoot won out eventually.

I get a kick out of us taking photos of film cameras with, I assume, is an electronic camera. An anachronism at its best.

Thanks for the responses. Update. What's left:

Olympus OM-1 I put in one of those batteries for the light meter that, once you open package, has a limited life from what I understand. This can also be converted to take a more traditional battery. Camera works great, includes straps, case, and manuals.  $85 plus shipping.

Minolta SRT-100 My old camera from college. $20, plus shipping.

I guess I will keep the domke bag for another few years...

Mike, not too late to recapture those days with an SRT-100!

Update:

Just the Minolta is left, and the Domke bag. I'll consider this a wrap. Thank you.
