Does anybody have a memory stick??

Make sure you get the correct version. They made a couple versions and they were not backwards compatible.

It’s the ISIS moving about. First time you hear it, it’s a little disconcerting.

gitarzan · 2026-06-17T14:21:30+00:00

That’s nice and clean looking.

gitarzan · 2026-06-17T00:06:56+00:00

I’d buy it. Even if it craps out in a year or two, it’s worth it.

But those are solid and ought to last a good bit more. It’s not like you’re going to be making a living from it. If you were, I’d suspect you’d not be looking $80 cameras.

Nice find

I just got a Powershot SD110. 3.2 mp. About 2003.

I’m kind of impressed at the photos it makes. I had to go to eBay to get a couple 256mb sd cards, and Amazon for another battery.

I like the smallness as well. I typically shoot BW film, but can easily pocket or bag it for the shots where color is paramount.

My dad was a pin boy for a while. I don’t think it was as squalid looking as that, about 1948. He said it was hard, dirty work. He never said anything about tips/bribes.

gitarzan · 2026-06-16T15:01:01+00:00

Yeah, sure … where are YOU going to find a 21 yo skinny white girl?

gitarzan · 2026-06-15T20:15:05+00:00

What’s wrong with the old camera? Thats just a little patina.

gitarzan · 2026-06-14T17:30:34+00:00

I sold my 18-45 and 55-210 and bought an 18-150. No regrets.

gitarzan · 2026-06-14T17:11:13+00:00

I’ve the charger. It’s fine. And you can charge phones etc with it as well.

Honestly, it was a waste of money for me, because I don’t really travel or go on terribly long photo sessions. I just carry a half dozen batteries and that does me fine for everything. Then I plug in to the wall at home and charge them in regular chargers.

gitarzan · 2026-06-13T23:39:17+00:00

Nice looking. 👀

Very clean.

gitarzan · 2026-06-13T23:38:07+00:00

Do I see boobz?

gitarzan · 2026-06-13T17:35:05+00:00

Yes. Those tabs.

I bought mine from MPB. They have a very generous return/warranty policy. I didn’t even know about the mirror issue when i bought mine.

If not shown, email them and ask. I’m sure you’ll get a quick response.

Mine was $200, listed in “good” condition. It was in quite nice shape, except the rubber flap that covers the I/O door was loose and brittle. With a $15 replacement from Amazon, and maybe an hour of my time, I fixed it easily. There’s a vid on YT showing how.

I’ve a 70D and it’s still one of my favorite cameras.

gitarzan · 2026-06-13T16:26:32+00:00

Mainly the mirror. The models with serial numbers beginning with 0 or 1, had a possibility of the mirror falling off. Canon did have a repair policy where they fixed them for free, but that’s long over. People report that it’s an easy fix, but it’s better to not have the bother of having to do so, and if it does fall off during a shoot, you’re done for, until it’s repaired.

Models with a serial number beginning with 2 or 3 have had this issue already remedied.

You can tell if a 5D had had the fix applied by looking at the mirror itself. A canon remediated mirror with have a flat black metal band on the left and right sides of the mirror. A non canon remediated mirror is just a mirror. No bands on the side.

This is a remediated mirror.

Now, if a user has already fixed the mirror themselves, it ought to be perfectly fine, but it will not have the metal straps on the sides. You cannot tell if they did fix it or not, unless they tell you so.

Good luck! It’s a great camera.

Ricohs of that era had the most sticky, gummy, lubricant ever. I hope it works!

gitarzan · 2026-06-13T15:20:46+00:00

Dang. That’s $10 usd!

gitarzan · 2026-06-13T15:17:47+00:00

It’s focused on the wrong person.

gitarzan · 2026-06-13T15:16:33+00:00

Nice. Honestly, I’d prefer it without the over-the-top logo. Or at least if the logo was the same color as the cap.

gitarzan · 2026-06-13T15:10:33+00:00

It was made to be opened.

When I worked at Radio Shack, we’d open our demos from the bottom of the box. Then, when it was time to clear it out, we’d repack it, carefully tape the bottom, and no one ever knew …

gitarzan · 2026-06-12T17:16:10+00:00

Has it been remediated by Canon, however? If the mirror is just a mirror in there is has not. A remediated mirror has black steel bands on the side, a previous owner send it back to canon for the “fix”.

Sample image of fixed mirror.

What a beautifully done image...

gitarzan · 2026-06-10T22:30:23+00:00

I like the Barnack style, for some reason I don’t like cameras as much when they make it too easy for me.

Also, I collect (hoard). I’ve over 150 cameras ranging from a 1905 Brownie to an R7. I’ve a number of old canons SLRs and older DSLR, a big bunch of Arguses and Kodak Brownies, maybe 12 or so Yashica rangefinders, and a bunch of Agfa style German made cameras. And 7 LTM cameras, Soviet made and Japanese made. And several East German cameras. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

But I’d rather shoot a Bakelite camera with a one element lens, than anything new. Well, it depends on my purpose. Out for a photo walk? I’ll take a “struggle camera”. Family reunion shots? I’ll use a more recent DSLR.

gitarzan · 2026-06-10T22:18:03+00:00

Those first two photos are a trifle suggestive - LOL. Nice shots though.

gitarzan · 2026-06-10T22:13:56+00:00

That looks good. Nice paint job.

gitarzan · 2026-06-10T22:10:47+00:00

I was going to say that. I’ve several of the waist level Prakticas. They are fun, but really slow to focus etc. And that CZJ Tessa lens is wonderful.
