Every Sunday there is a flea market here in Koszalin right around where I live. Besides some shops selling regular goods, it is mainly a place for people to sell their useless junk.
Although it might be garbage to some, it can still be awesome stuff to me. Scavenging through loads of old computer hardware, video tapes, power supply adapters and giant cable balls, I unearthed myself a little treasure: A Canon Canonet Junior camera, built in 1963. Except for some discoloring of the top plastic and a non-working selenium electric meter, it is in a good condition. It still needs some cleaning, but I am convinced that it will work just fine for some experimenting. Quite an amazing find!
Even more to my surprise I noticed there was still a film inside. I rewound it when I got home. As soon as I am back in Germany, I will get the film developed. How old is that film? Does anybody know when AGFA-Gavaert produced CNS2 135-36 (ASA 60) film?
Any revenue from ads will be invested in a Nikon 105mm f2.8 Macro lens
