As usual, I am always looking for cameras, and as usual I am often finding them. I thought I'd attempt another video to see if I can get a bit better at making them. My recent finds include a steel developing tank in the package, another Polaroid Sun 660, a Polaroid SX-70 Model 2, an Argus C3, a Konica Auto S2, and several Olympus compacts (XA2, Infinity Stylus, and a Stylus Epic Zoom 80).
It's funny, because I was really pining for an SX-70 Model 2 about a month ago, so I bought one online. Had I only been patient, I would have stumbled on the one I just found instead! Oh well. The one I took in a month ago was a little more desirable to me anyhow since it had strap lugs and a tripod socket, while the one I just found does not.
Also, I am pretty impressed with the Konica Auto S2. Compared to other rangefinder cameras in its field (such as Canonets and some Olympus models) it is very large. However, it feels really nice in the hand. The rangefinder patch is also very clear. Add in parallax compensation and I'd say the viewfinder is really excellent. I also like the feel of the focus lever on this one compared to the Canonet. I heard the lens is super sharp, and it also takes a normal filter size (unlike some Canonets and Olympus rangefinders). I think it is really cool.
Anyhow, pretty good finds this last week!
