Anybody still use film? Free Camera

shmike · 12-18-2010, 01:30 PM

I know most of our photogs here have the latest and greatest but maybe someone's kid could use something to bang around with.

My wife's old Minolta 35mm SLR.

I figured I'd offer it up here before it goes to Goodwill.

I don't know what model it is. It says XTsi on the body. It has a second lens and a fancy carrying bag to go with it. There also are some very professional looking things in the bag: an empty film canister, a lens cover, some papers and a Trident wrapper.

Free (you pay for shipping) until Christmas. If nobody wants it, I'll donate it.

I'll take it.

Sorry Scott I should have waited to post this.

I posted it on my local board and by the time copied and pasted here, someone already had it claimed via PM.

If homeboy falls through, I'll send it out Monday, shipping on me.

Think of the children.

I have the same kit minus the 70-210 lens (ex "lost" it somehow). That was a dang good camera, mine's gathering dust too. I think about shooting some film once in a while but wish I could afford a comperable digital. I like being able to shoot 100 pics to get 5 good ones for bascially nothing!

I miss film. Digital is too lazy. I appreciate good film artists that don't rely on things like photoshop and photomatix.

My brother just set up a dark room in their spare bedroom.
