The good news is that a widow gave me a camera bag full of her late husband's equipment. There were 3 lenses and the one I tried out today is a Tokina SD 12-24 (IF) DX
I mounted it on my Canon 70D and shot a few frames on my home from work before it got dark outside. I shot at 24 mm and then moved it to 12mm but got an error that the lens was not communicating. So I turned off the camera, took the lens off and and turned it back on. That worked but it wont shoot at 12mm. I noticed in the viewfinder the black edges or vignette. I never had a lens this wide and was hoping to get some real estate photos. The camera in the bag is a Cznon EOS digital rebel XTi. So the question is Canthis camera and lens work together?
This camera, Argus C3, was part of the plot of the movie I watched last night Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. The movie is set in the 1940s and a reporter named Polly Perkins has this camera and at the end only has two frames of film left so she has to decide to click a photo or wait for something better to shoot.
You got a good deal. All the features in a small camera: autofocus, auto exposure, auto wind and rewind
Pop up, flash and a zoom lens.
Small, light and functional.
I started shooting with a 35mm SLR camera when I was in high school. The photo club had a black and white darkroom and I was amazed the first time I saw an image appear on the photo paper as the tray of developer was gently rocked. Sime then I have been hooked on photography.
I would like to find someone who wants this collection of vintage flash bulbs I acquired while back.
This was part of a huge lot of cameras and photo equipment. Perhaps there are a few special people using the old cameras. Maybe some one wants these not necessarily to use, but to add to a collection of vintage camera equipment. I can pack them very safely and ship to the USA only. Here is the list:
11 Sylvania 40B press (screw mount)
12 Focal/Kmart 5B (bayonet mount)
12 Sylvania 25B press
7 Sylvania M2B
12 Sylvania M3 (5 clear and 7 blue)
4 Sylvania M2B
11 GE M3 B
12 Focal/Kmart M3B
4 No. 5 Westinghouse
6 tiny not sure of the manufacturer
3 Sylvania Flash cubes
