pauledell Posted May 28, 2010 Share #2 Posted May 28, 2010 Larry, A great shot of the antique with the wonderful lighting, sharpness and tones. That camera probably has taken its fair share of pictures in its days. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

likalar Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted May 28, 2010 Paul, Alberto, Dave, Thanks; I'm glad you liked it. My father had this for many years; I think it's from a flea market in the mid 60's, about the same time he stopped taking us to church and started taking us to flea markets and garage sales. Old cameras were so inexpensive then. Larry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
