Happy SUNday! – rare Pokemon Center New York baseball cap

March 19, 2023March 19, 2023Chris and Carol Leave a comment

It’s down to the final 12 hours of bidding on my rare Pokemon baseball cap on eBay (item # 285182215981). We purchased the cap at the Pokemon Center New York in the Summer of 2002 which was soon after the store opened in the heart of the City. It’s time to pass it along.

It was made in a limited number and few have survived twenty years on.

Port and Company is a maker of limited-run hats with unique designs.

If you’re a fan of anything from the early days of the Pokemon Center New York than this is for you. Very few hats ever come up for sale at auction. Check out my eBay store if you’re interested or just curious.

Happy SUNday! – another super nice Canon AE-1 Program

March 12, 2023March 12, 2023Chris and Carol Leave a comment

They’ve always been a favorite of mine for their versatility, design, and functionality. The Canon AE-1 Program is an interesting A Series camera that’s kind of a Canon A-1 “Lite”. I’ve put together this wonderful set for you – a film-tested, super-clean AE-1 Program.

I’ve added another super nice Canon AE-1 Program camera to my shop. This one is from 1981. It’s been fully film tested, is as clean as new, and the Canon NFD 50mm f1.8 lens is clear, clean, and sharp. The Fujicolor film is fresh (10/2024), I’ve installed a new battery, and the instruction booklet is complete and in mint condition. It’s ready to shoot right out of the box – guaranteed.

Nikon advertisement from around 1983.

It’s a fun (and easy) camera to use and gives excellent results. There are two versions of the original shown here – an ISO 400 and an ISO 1000 version. The two versions look exactly the same it’s the ISO dial above the lens that’s different (this is actually the ISO 1000 version just set at 400). Thanks for stopping by, Chris

Happy SUNday! – Kodak EasyShare Digital Camera

February 5, 2023February 5, 2023Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Twenty years ago this was easy technology for the masses and today it’s a fun throwback camera to use that produces “film-look” images from its tiny CCD sensor.

These “vintage” digital cameras are fun to use and often create surprising images. This camera has 8 GB internal storage or insert an optional SD card to record stills and movies. It’s available in my camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com – Thanks, Chris

Testing my Nikon L35AF compact point & shoot 35mm film camera. – 1983

All of these images were taken using Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 400 color negative film.

If you are unfamiliar with the Nikon L35AF, it was released in 1983 and was Nikon’s first autofocus point & shoot camera. It features a sharp 35mm f2.8 Nikon lens.
