I hope this is the right forum to put this topic in. Please feel free to move it if need be. I am going to use this topic for two reasons:
1) I am wondering about 35 mm photography today. Is there still a place for it? If so, how is it usually used today?
2) The reason for #1 above is because when my Dad died a few years ago; he left me some stuff in a box, and a camera set was one of the items. It is a Konica camera, with some pretty fancy-looking lenses. I would really like to find out more about this equipment, as I don't even know what half of it is, or how to use it.
Guess I am wondering how feasible it would be to start using this stuff, and what kinds of things I could use it best for. But first I need to know what I have got, etc.
I will post a few pictures I guess, first, and we can take it from there. I know this stuff has got to be around 20 years old, but some of the lenses seem pretty impressive to an amateur like me. Seems like they might still be quite usable?
I would really appreciate any input on this stuff. I will make a series of short posts, with each new item.
The shutter does not work on this camera; so I am wondering about where to get it fixed, (Alberta Canada), or where to buy another, used one, that would fit all the lenses, which I will detail a few of below.
