My New Camera Set


I've lost my camera sets 2months ago. Some bastard broke in my car and stole my 2 cameras (Nikon D50 and F4s) and 5 lenses. Despite my friends would advise me not to leave anything in my car when I'm away from it since LA is tough city, I wasn't careful at the moment so that I sufferd more than 4 thousands dollars worth of damage. Hence, I had to manage my photography life with just Nikon N65 film camera and one zoom lense recently so far. I need Digital SLR so much considering high price of purchasing and developing film. Somehow or other, I happened to buy 2 more film cameras this weekend. well... I've been searching for DSLR camera on craig list and yet what I found was not ad of selling DSLR but one about 2 manual film cameras with incredible price. they were minolta X-700 and Nikon FE2 and they both are in my hand now. Both are legendary mecanical cameras and I have my early 20s' nostalgia of taking picures with one of them when I majored in architecture in undergraduate school. I used to handle Nikon FE2 owned by architecture club but never owned it since its price was too high for poor myself at that time to dare. Anyway as time flies, all old goodies' price bacame so nice. I bought these two camera out of nostalgia and unmaterialized desire of my-20yrs-old-self. I just paid 170 bucks for both include 2 single lense, 2 zoom lense and 2 strobe lights, which is unbelievable price on not only reflecting those original price but also considering those used market price.( current market price is like 200 for one camera and one sigle lense). I give them a nice cleaning and they are lying down on my bed neatly. I better make plans for going somewhere to expose themselves and myself to the wind this weekend.
