Happy SUNday! – Kodak EasyShare Digital Camera

Chris 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.

Sharp glass Kodak 37mm lens.
It’s all there!

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.

Nassau County (Florida) Courthouse – 1891
Fernandina Beach Post Office – 1911
Post office building as seen from across Centre Street, Historic District, Fernandina Beach.
F-4U Corsair reproduction, Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport terminal.

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.

Nikon’s first and maybe best.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris

Happy SUNday! – nothing fancy, just home

Chris and Carol Leave a comment
A simple Thanksgiving dinner with family. This is as fancy as we get!

The plates and glasses are my mom and dad’s passed down to us. I believe they received them back in the early 1950s. It’s a very small way to have them share dinner with us.

A mess but it’s what we like to have for our Thanksgiving meal.

I hope everyone had a chance to spend the day or weekend if you were lucky with some or all of your family and friends. I can remember more than a few that we weren’t able to do that and are thankful whenever we can. Thanks for stopping by, Chris, Carol, and Tim.

Happy SUNday! – fun with Fuji

Chris and Carol Leave a comment
ISO 800 color film was made for shooting in full sunlight to be able to take advantage of the film’s full capabilities.
Image trickery.
I’ve decided to sell my Fuji. It’s available in my camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com

The Fujifilm Instax Wide 300 is one of my all-time favorite instant film cameras. The large 62 x 99mm picture is a format that I more easily relate to (6 x 7cm). The fill-in flash feature is nice since it “fills in” shadows in bright sunlight which is the best way to take advantage of the color and sharpness of the film. I haven’t used the Mono Chrome film yet so I don’t know how well it actually performs. Thanks for stopping by, Chris

Happy SUNday! – Minolta Madness

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Another beautiful Minolta has found its way into our collection and to be quite frank, we have more SLRs than we could ever possibly shoot with or even display. So, this lovely Minolta X-700 MPS is available in our camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com

Minolta X-700 35mm film camera set.
Minolta X-700 MPS (Minolta Program System) with sharp Rokkor MD 50mm f/2 lens.
This Minolta can be shot on full automatic exposure, aperture priority, or fully manual where you set both the shutter and aperture.
The X-700 is super easy to use and to me is lightweight enough to carry around all day.
The full-color brochure (over 40 pages) is filled with charts, tables, lists, and features of every Minolta lens and accessory available. The brochure is rather har-to-find and it’s included with the camera.

The Minolta X-700 is truly the heart of a complete system (MPS) of data backs, motor drives, flash units, lenses, focusing screens, close-up and macro accessories, meters, and cases. It’s one of our favorite 35mm SLRs to use. If you’re interested, pop on over to our shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com which is hosted by Etsy. Thanks for stopping by! – Chris & Carol
