Fun Brochure! Konica Kanpa!
A fun little sales brochure from Japan. The Konica Kanpa! (Kanpai) is a party camera – it was designed to be used on a motorized tripod that would swivel the camera to the sound of someone yelling “Kanpai” (Cheers!) or other sounds and then the camera’s microphone would pick up that sound and the camera would focus in on that person or group and take a picture “hands-free”.
Check out the cute little shoes for the tripod!
Stop by our store – https://www.ccstudio2380.com – lots of new and interesting things!
This just in!!! Our good friend Peggy from CameraGoCamera is sending us her Konica Kanpa! Cheers!

Rare First Edition Canon F-1 Book – 1971
Rare first edition of the Canon F-1 instruction book. This one was printed in Japan in September 1971. It features a unique cover shot of the F-1 – all other books after this one are different.
The Canon F-1 featured in this book carries a super early serial number – 100251
Comparing this book to some of our others there are quite a bit of changes which would be typical of a first edition book.
It’s available for purchase at https://www.ccstudio2380.com
Thanks for stopping by!

Pentax IQ Zoom 105WR – Weather Resistant 35mm Compact Camera
Are you looking for a compact 35mm camera with a powerful 2.8x electronic zoom (38-105mm) and the ability to be able to plunk this camera into water, sand, snow, and mud? Of course you are!
Too many compact 35mm film cameras have to be babied – can’t take them out in the rain, snow or down to the beach and definitely a no-go for white water rafting! Not so for this super tough compact from Pentax!
The gray portion of the body is a rubberized grip which makes this fun compact easy to use when it’s wet. A powerful 38-105mm Pentax zoom lens with zoom macro is super sharp.
This camera is brand new, never used but fully tested by us – the complete set is still new in its original boxes with all paperwork including the operating manual!
This camera is guaranteed by us to be ready to use right out of the box! Just add film and your creativity!
One of the more sophisticated 35mm compacts of the late 1990s, this Pentax features a 5-point multi autofocus system, auto exposure, power zoom lens with zoom macro, power winding, and multi-mode flash with red-eye reduction.
This Pentax features a large true view viewfinder and big LCD. Easy to operate controls even when your hands are wet or gloved. The date/time feature is super easy to set and we’ve even installed a new lithium button battery to power that function.
This set includes a brand new Pentax soft case to protect your IQ Zoom 105WR while traveling.
Some of the many outstanding features of this fine camera. Still made by Asahi Optical too!
Also features an adjustable diopter eyepiece with an easy to use thumbwheel – something not normally found on a camera of this type. The on-off switch is easy to grip and the camera switches easily to the panorama mode.
Easy loading and positive closure of the film back to seal out water, sand, snow, and mud!
This wonderful camera set is available through our online store at https://www.ccstudio2380.com
If you’re looking at trying your hand at film photography then this is a perfect camera to start off with. If you’re getting back into film photography then you’ll be satisfied with what this camera can do for your creative spirit.
Thanks for your visit and we think you will be surprised at the great price we have it listed for. All of the cameras we sell are guaranteed to work right out of the box! We’ve installed brand new Panasonic batteries in this one – just add your 35mm film and you’re good to go!

The Last Leaves
It’s been an odd year for our trees weatherwise and otherwise. What with a prolonged spring drought, wildfires into the summer, the close passage of a tropical storm, and then three well established nor’easters, our maritime forest here on the island has taken a quite a beating. Now we have a second hard freeze. These hardy souls are the last leaves in our yard on a bradford pear tree.

It’s technically a bad photograph – I deliberately shot into the sun under breezy conditions so nothing is in focus. I love the shallow depth of field and the sun rays on the left of the image. I’ll check this morning after sunrise to see if the leaves made it through the night.
Do you explore your yard photographically? There’s so much to see. How about a mossy gate on a fence from a different viewpoint?

Technically all of these images are not properly exposed or focused and lack sophisticated techniques in their composition and received no post-production. They’re just shots taken on a whim – but we like them nonetheless.
Thanks for your visit and have a beautiful day!

Holly Berries – Tuesday
Wandering around the front yard yesterday, the stark contrast between the deep red of the berries and the vivid greens of the leaves caught my eye. Shot with my Samsung Galaxy S8+ with only a touch of post-production on my part. What I like best is that the image doesn’t look digital – it has some texture and depth not often seen with the eye etching resolution of DSLRs.

Hi! Mickey Mouse by Fujifilm – 1996
New arrival at our store! Straight from a collector in Japan – this cool little compact P&S from Fujifilm.
These are nearly impossible to find outside of Japan as they were only licensed by the Walt Disney Company to Fuji Photo Co., Ltd. with the Fujifilm brand on it. This one was sold at the Mitsukoshi department store in Tokyo.
More to come on this one soon – we have the original box and all papers and it’s never been used!
Thanks for your visit!

Kodak Brownie 127 Starlet
We enjoy reading her posts – she always introduces us to cameras that we would normally not even consider.
This was one of the 3 cameras I bought in Hong Kong. This cute little thing was sitting on a shelf, in a small shop, at the very top of Sim City. I had given up buying a camera while on holiday, they all seemed overpriced. This one was just $20HK, even if it was overpriced, it was still a good price for a holiday treat. Inside the shop, a man was taking apart and Olympus Trip. I watched him a while then I went back to the shelf. I looked at the other cameras and decided to buy two. I will talk about the other one in another post.
This one is a 127mm camera. It is my first 127 camera, but not my first bakelite. I had read how to load 35mm film onto the cassette and really wanted to try that. When I asked to…
