I'm glad I kept most of my digicams - have a Canon S100, SD110, Elph 110
HS, and a handful of others as well. I may sell off a couple of
unsuspecting hipsters who want that 2000s low-fi look.

Is selling hipsters legal now? :D

Not everything is political. Canon point-and-shoot cameras are making
a comeback, and people are paying absurd prices for used models -
almost as much as new!

If I had someone paying attention to trends, I wouldn't drop prices
either - especially if I could blame tariffs.

Hi Kurt! At the risk of being 'off topic', I am a Canon camera buff and
I own 5 of them. The only digital one is an SX110is. The others are 35mm
SLR's from the late 70's early 80's.

Thanks for interjecting! I appreciate your view of current events.

Have a great day!

Don

Off-Topic we are! I have a Canonet QL17, 2 Canon FTbs (one black, one
chrome), and shot with a Canon AE-1 Program for several years. Great
camera.

I found a guy nearby in Oakland, CA that did a CLA (clean, lube and
adjust) on the FTbs, and while he was in there, adjusted the meters to
use 1.5v silver oxide batteries instead of 1.5v mercury batteries.

Whoa! Brother's in arms! The FTb's were slightly before my time, but I
have read they are excellent cameras. I have my original bought A-1, an
AE-1, an AT-1 and an AL-1 QF (quick focus). Had them all CLA'd within
the last year and they all work perfectly.

Nice to hear from you Kurt!

Have a great day!

Mechanical shutter, match-needle exposure, takes the same FD lenses as
the newer ones. The meter doesn't do great in super-low light, they had
an add-on meter booster that I've never seen in real life before.

Always wanted an A-1, winder and a 50/1.4...

I have an autowinder and FD 50/1.8, 35/2.0 a 35-70 zoom and a 70-210
zoom and of course these will fit all the A series cameras.

The mechanical shutter on the FTb is new for me, never used anything
that didn't require a battery for the shutter release. Alot of people
say that needing a battery to shoot is a detriment. Are you in need of
an SX110is? Let me know, It's an 'extra' for me.

Have a great day Kurt!

I thought one of the "oddball" A*-1s had a mechanical shutter, or at
least a 1/90th second shutter speed when the battery died. Oh, well...

Thanks for the offer, I'm set for now - on top of a handful of
Canon point and shoot, I started finding those twisty-body Nikon
Coolpixes - the 995 and 4300. They accept threaded filters, have lots
of manual controls and are fun to shoot. And, I always wanted one in
2001 - and couldn't afford them!
