Today is film camera swap meet today! I’m giddy with excitement.

I couldn’t promise my wife that I wouldn’t be irresponsibly splurging cash on obscure film cameras today, despite me also purchasing a new phone this month. We’ll see how the day pans out.

Today’s spoils are a new in box Nikon Speedlight SB-28 (includes papers, pouch) and a Bronica Zenzanon MC 200mm f/4.5 lens for my ETRSi.

Quite a few Leicas and point and shoots today, not that many Hasselblads anymore, and a larger contingent of female patrons which is great to see as photography and camera collecting are typically somewhat male dominated.

Toot

There was also someone selling 3 Sony Mavicas, one of them being an MVC-FD91. Very well used and worn (paint worn off in some areas) and none of the 3 turned on, so I didn’t bother asking questions. I didn’t know the MVC-FD91 even existed, it’s such an odd-ball kind of digital camera.

I unfortunately didn’t take a photo of it, but here’s what the FD91 looks like, courtesy of dpreview.com: https://www.dpreview.com/articles/7734530884/throwback-thursday-the-sony-mavica-fd-91

The 90s were wild in context of photography!
