A very simple 35mm SLR camera with outstanding features that hold up well even today. The EOS Rebel G was released in late 1996 featuring the latest in Canon’s autofocus and auto exposure technologies. The Cano EOS cameras also used Canon’s well respected EF family of lenses which could be switched to manual focus in an instant. I’ve always found these cameras to provide excellent results without the crazy weight of a more traditional SLR. I also have the Canon EOS Rebel 2000 that immediately followed the Rebel G in late 1999.
I believe that the Canon EOS Rebel G and EOS Rebel 2000 are underrated cameras in today’s marketplace. If you can find one-owner, gently used cameras and matching lenses they make great 35mm film cameras that are perfect for the beginner and the seasoned film photographer.

Hello all! I’ve been super busy these past few weeks gathering some of my camera bits and bobs from my collection to add to my camera shop hosted by Etsy at http://www.ccstudio2380.com

One little camera with three different names. Canon released the North American model (PowerShot SD1300 IS) in early 2010 so this little gem is already 11 years old. Back in 2010, 12 megapixels was a big deal in such a compact point and shoot digital as this.
Here’s mine in cool blue.
This Canon is equipped with a super sharp Canon 4x zoom lens with image stabilization (IS). The zoom’s 35mm equivalent is 28-112mm so it covers a comfortable shooting range (up to 16x with digital enhancement).
It uses a CCD sensor with TTL autofocus so my pics come out nice and sharp 99% of the time.
I don’t normally shoot with the date time stamp on but I thought I’d give it a a try.
It’s a fun and easy camera to use and it’s also quite compact – it easily fits into almost anywhere. I like playing with these older digital cameras as their build quality was generally quite high. By the way, the macro ability is good with closest focus at just over one inch (3 cm).

2020 was a pretty dynamic year as far as our camera collection was concerned. Lots of outgoing cameras and lenses and a few (well more than a few) additions. Here’s my top 6 new members of the hoard.
An eclectic mix of cameras presented in no particular order.
Canon EOS-1N RS. The Superman of Canon’s 35mm SLR film cameras. This one is from about 1998. The high-speed motor drive is built-in and at its fastest its capable of shooting 10 fps! Here it has a gorgeous Canon EF AF 50mm f1.4 USM lens mounted.Zeiss Ikon Contax IIIa from 1951 is a 35mm interchangeable lens rangefinder film camera. A fully operational Contax IIIa from early 1951. Here it’s pictured with the exposure meter flap in the closed position. The Carl Zeiss Sonnar f/1.5 50mm lens is in excellent condition as is the camera. Even the exposure meter is working!The last in the long line of Leica L39 (LSM) interchangeable lens rangefinder cameras. This is the famous Leica IIIg with the Leicavit winder attached. The lens is a wonderful and sharp Ernst Leitz Summaron f3.5 35mm wide-angle lens.I didn’t need to add this full-frame monster to my collection but when the opportunity came along to own it I couldn’t pass. At 36 MP it will laser etch your eyes with it’s resolution. Here it’s got a sharp AF Nikkor 50mm f1.4 lens. The only downside to this camera is no built-in image stabilization so you need a tripod (at least I do) for any shot with a lens over 135mm.My favorite Yashica hands down. This classic 35mm SLR film camera is in mint condition and came with its original box. From May 1970.Yashica-Nicca YF – August 1959. Mated with a sharp Yashinon f1.8 5cm lens. This Yashica is a 35mm interchangeable lens film camera that uses L39 (LSM) lenses.
Believe it or not but there’s a few more not listed here. I’ll blog about those soon. There were many more outgoing cameras in our collection in 2020 which is always a good thing.You can’t keep them all.
Thanks for stopping by and a big thanks to all of my new followers that joined the blog in 2020. Also a very big thanks to all of my followers since day one back in 2015. I couldn’t have ever imagined over 700 followers in my wildest dreams. Thanks!!! – Chris

Back in late 1994 Canon released the newest member of their EOS 35mm SLR film camera family, the EOS-1N. This hyper-talented camera series would be the last 35mm film cameras made by Canon on the dawn of the digital age.
The motor drive in the RS was non-removable and was capable of up to 10fps in the high-speed continuous mode!!Scan from the Canon EOS-1N sales brochure for the RS – 1994Scan of the instruction manual – Japanese Edition 1995Pictured with its standard lens – Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM Fast lens, fast camera.
Do I need the high-speed function of a 35mm SLR film camera that goes through film like it’s a movie camera? Heck no, but it’s a blast owning it (kinda like a Corvette). You don’t need it but it’s fun to drive.
As the weather turns more favorable for out and about shooting I hope to take this marvel for a spin around town (pandemic appropriate of course).
