dorkasaurus_rex posted:Hey guys. So my Konica Auto S3 just came in the mail and I have to say it is one of the nicest cameras I've ever seen, let alone owned. That being said, it has no battery, and the battery it uses is banned because of mercury content. It's not unusable, but it means the excellent meter is unusable and the f/stop is left wide open at f/1.8. If I'm interpreting it right, Photoethnography says you can use an alkaline or silver 675 battery and it will just read a stop high. (it says "An alkaline or silver-oxide 375 battery" and "675 silver-mercury" but neither of those are real things so I assume they're typos on the theme of "675 silver-oxide")

I know of two animes nominally about photography but they're both bad. (Flag and Speed Grapher) Does anybody know anything about the Canon Sure Shot? I'm looking for something cheap and small I can shove in a bag or coat pocket when an SLR is too bulky to carry around all day, and the Sure Shot seems like the cheapest f/2.8 compact available on ebay.

That might be good too... It looks like the lens and grip stick out a bit more, and it doesn't have the built in lens cover, but f/1.9 would be very useful. fake edit: Apparently it's loud and the AF isn't very good.

Nannypea posted:I have several Canon P&S cameras. I can dig them out if you are interested. They would be MUCH cheaper than $25. I'm talking $10 shipped. Maybe if there's a fast lens on one of them, but I think I might let the P&S idea wait until I feel like spending enough to get a good one. My DSLR fits well enough in my bag if I don't bring extra books.

I might consider getting rid of one of my serious cameras in exchange for a contax t3. It's too bad you can't hack the firmware on it.

I think all the QL17s I've seen ended up closer to $40, the Canonet 19 is in the $20 range.

Is anywhere local (not Wal-Mart/Sam's Club etc) going to be under $15/roll? That's around the price I was quoted both places I asked + what CVS charges for 1-hour ($9 for 24 exp w/prints, I think they just prorate up from there). Kind of makes sense, Dwayne's is close to $15 for the first roll anyway right? (outgoing shipping + $5 + $4.50 return shipping)

RustedChrome posted:I picked up a Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim, new in the box, for less than the price of the Superheadz clone. It's just big enough to hold the roll of film and it weighs nothing. The only controls are the shutter button and the film advance knob. Fixed focus, f/22 and 1/125 shutter speed I think it's actually 22mm and f/11, f/22 would be totally crazy for exposure and DOF is already huge on such a wide lens.

I think they're around $30 on ebay, along with the Superheadz rebadge/recolor versions.

I've half wanted one ever since Tokyo Camera Style posted about them, but never quite felt like spending that much on a camera with a cheap plastic lens. http://tokyocamerastyle.com/post/307793498/okubo-this-is-a-35mm-tlr-camera-which-comes-as-a

The original Japanese magazine version would at least have something to turn it into a decent display but that's more like $60+ shipped.
