Sherri is accurate about the "never dropped a camera anywhere". She did quite a save of a Minolta SRT 101 (out on a narrow extension of that dam) and thereby almost falling herself, into the dam, but she managed to hang on to the camera and herself.
And another time when she did slip into a cold, icy river she held the camera high and kept it dry and safe!

Plus, I hear you throw cameras in the water Sherri. Randy It is true that Sherri certainly has a history of coming close to throwing cameras and herself into the drink..... dam1 by bob40caliber, on Flickr I think it may been another section of this area shown above.....I'm sure Sherri will chime in here and correct the record.... :-)

Good afternoon all, I have just signed up. I got into photography around 2 years ago. I found myself picking up older camera and other kit. They might not be worth anything but I like them and learning about them. Welcome John. Glad to have you join us. What types of cameras have caught your interest? Enjoy Bob

Oh how I long for the stupid cameras. Three settings. Shutter speed. Aperture. Focus. Instruction manuals were often little more than a pamphlet. No batteries. No beeps. No Bokeh. They always obeyed the photographer. Today their film and processing costs have put them on the shelf for good. Mickey Mickey--not for all of us......some of us still love film and are stubborn as all heck.....(that includes me).

Check out thedarkroom.com they seem reasonable. I just sent them 2 rolls of 120 film this morning. One was started about 3 years ago. And one was started by a friend of mine about 40 years ago.....

I neglected to say that I have 5 Nikkormats. 2-FtN and 3-FT2. And currently they are my favorites. Not to mention the 2 Nikon F I have. I use the Nikkormats all the time...but I find that I do not use the F's.
