I recently picked up a late model Yashica Electro 35 GSN. After unsticking the shutter and obtaining a battery & adapter, it seems to work. I have a roll of Kentmere 100 in it right now. The weather is grey and cloudy today, perfect for b&w film.

The blades may be gummed up with fossilized lubricant. If you can disassemble it from the rear (some tiny parts could get lost), you might be able to clean the aperture diaphragm in naptha.

A Quantaray 70-300 from another forum member.
I sold my HD DA 55-300 a few months back and missed it a little bit.

My father gave me his Canonet QL17. He purchased it in 1965 while on layover in Tokyo as he was being deployed to Viet Nam.
I grew up with this camera. In my father's own words, "Its a Tri-X eating MONSTER!" He brought back hundreds of wonderfully exposed photos to back that up.
Fortunately, the photos are all of farmers and relaxed soldiers, as things were still pretty quiet in 1965-67.

Now you can adopt all the orphaned FD lenses out there. That is very noble of you. Here - let me send you a few dozen...

I bought my sister a Fuji Instax Mini-90 NeoClassic several weeks back.
That little camera was so much fun that I bought myself a Polaroid Auto 100 Land Camera to play with.
I'm still waiting for it to arrive, but for $19, its either a win or a winter project.

I sold a DA-70 Ltd and bought two wide zooms.
Though I said I wouldn't, I got the Sigma 10-20 F4-5.6.
In order to justify getting the Sigma 10-20 instead of the Pentax 12-24, I got the Pentax 10-17 Fish-Eye.
I'm moving cross-country in a week. I think these new additions require a detour passed the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam.
Now if I could get that 645 A-35mm in time for the trip...
