Aaaaaaand STILL spreading the Holiday cheer!
we have a very interesting item up for donation today. I have a few of these, and have been considering selling one of my sets, but decided instead to share the joy of these little guys and donate one to our online photography community.
this is a complete set for the Pentax auto 110 SLR system. this is a 110 film camera. if your not familiar with it, read the wiki article.
Pentax Auto 110 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ive included almost everything that came with the boxed set originally. the camera, auto-winder, hot shoe flash, and three lenses.
18mm f/2.8, 24mm f/2.8, and 50mm f/2.8
these are fixed aperture lenses, permanently at f/2.8, the exposure is done in camera automatically.
this is a great little camera, and everything is in working order. (as of the last time I had it out)
the whole system fits into a leather Pentax case about the size of a small purse. this is literally an SLR you can stick in a jacket pocket. great for hiking, biking, general sightseeing.. anywhere you would want a compact camera.
you can still order new 110 film new at http://usa.shop.lomography.com/films/110-film
I cant say enough good things about this camera. it is compact, easy to use, and fun. the lenses are easy to focus, and sharp as a tack. there are no issues at all getting good pictures done in 8x10 or smaller.
Obviously there are certain limitations with 110 film. if you aren't familiar with this format, please read up on it before asking for this.
Don't underestimate the quality of this cameras build, or its lenses. Pentax went all out on this little guy. but enough of my rave reviews. on to the fine print.
You all know how this works at this point. (I hope)
we are DONATING this lens. It is FREE to a good/needy home, and is sent AS-IS with no guarantee or warranty, written or implied of ANY kind. we will pay shipping. continental U.S ONLY.
the criteria for getting the camera is as follows:
1: you live in the continental united states/Alaska if flat rate shipping goes there (im a stickler on this one, sorry)
2: you have been a member of the forum for more than 2 months. (and been a reasonably active member of the TPF community)
3: you have a desire to learn/deal with a film camera and the 110 film format.
(ALL rules are at me and my wife's discretion. we reserve the right to change the criteria at ANY time for ANY dumb old reason)
i will let this thread run for a week or so. If you are interested in the camera, post on THIS THREAD with your intentions for the camera, an honest gear list, what you would like to do with this camera, and whether or not you are already an experienced film shooter, or just want to learn. PM's or emails may or may not get considered.
this camera system is not for everyone. and not for every film user. it is a very nitche-ish format and you may have to hunt around for a place that will develop this film. (we have a local store that has a guy they send it to) If you already enjoy shooting film, but wish you could do so without having to drag around big cameras and lenses, but still get good pictures, this is the camera for you!
thank you all.
