Any old 35mm film camera fans here? Advice on buying a used Canon
Feeling nostalgic and pulled out ye old Canon T90 to take on vacation last week, much to my disappointment ye old T90 has ceased to function (batteries were clean everything looks good but will not fire up).
I'm thinking probably cheaper to just buy another old 35mm body that my Canon FD lens will work with.
Looking on eBay I see I can get a T50 for around $30-$40, I would love to pick up another T90 body but those are more like $70-$90 and obviously this is just a silly antique camera fetish I have and I don't want to throw a lot of money at it... however I do have a collection of lens I would like to keep and use.
Started with a Canon FTd, moved to a AE-1, then the T90 served me well for over a decade.
There are some other interesting options, for instance a few F-1's on eBay.
Anyone have any ideas/recommendations on a good old Canon film body?
Yeah, yeah, I know... Film is dead! What are you nuts?!? Can't you just take pictures with your phone like everyone else?!?
Just humor the old man with the camera in his hand...
BTW I shot our vacation pictures with my medium format Yashica mat... some things never die.
