Photography Gear Updates

Hello Everyone!

Wednesday, June 18. 2025

Hello, everyone! I'm in a tight spot. Here’s a realistic breakdown of what might actually work given my gear, finances, and goals:

---

🎯 My Goal:

Replace my Nikon Coolpix L110 with a DSLR (with a viewfinder) that can shoot pets, people, events, and nature in a retro/vintage-inspired style.

It must accept my Canon EF 35–80mm Lens.

I can sell my film Camera's, additionally $3 and some change, and i don’t have access to online banking or modern payment systems at the moment.

---

🧩 My Options – Sorted By Reality:

1. Sell my Slr Film Camera's but keep my Canon EF Zoom Lens, buy a Canon EOS Rebel T7 body.

2. Sell my film camera's and save until I can buy a Canon Rebel T7 with either a EF-S 18–55mm, or EF 75–300mm, or a EF 50mm.

3. Trade in's and or Swap's.

P.S. I still have my Nikon Coolpix L110.

The film Camera's+ I currently own:

Film Cameras + Meter & accessories;

Canon AE-1 w/ FD 50mm 1.4.
Canon Rebel G w/ 35–80mm.
Ricoh KR-5 w/ Ricohnar 55mm.
Olympus Trip AF S-2.
Minolta Freedom Action Zoom 90.
GE PR-3 Meter.
Grey Camera Bag.
Canon Eos EH8 L Covering.
Tiffen 52mm Sky 1-A Filter.
Made in Japan 52ø/52mm Haze Filter.
A Really nice Camera Strap.

What I'm Keeping:

Canon EF 35-80mm Lens.
That Really nice Camera Strap.

I could potentially pull together $250+ if sold right — more than enough for a Rebel T7 used.

For the photos of these that I've taken so far; check below for "September 16, 2024."

I received another Film Camera, and another small Telescope.

I've kept everything so far, except for the two small Telescope's.

I've given the two Telescope's to my mom, as her Mother's day gift.

Since she loves to feed and watch birds. Perhaps she'll enjoy using them for bird watching.

I still have the Grey Camera Bag, a small Telescope. A made in Taiwan Canon Eos

Rebel G w/ a Canon Eos EH8 L Covering, a 35-80mm 0.4m/1.3ft. AF, and MF Canon Zoom EF. 1:4-5.6 III. ø 52mm Lens, Made in U.S.A. Tiffen 52mm Sky 1-A Filter. Aswell as a Made in Japan RICOH KR-5 W/ a Riconar 1:2.2 55mm Lens, Made in Japan 52ø/52mm Haze Filter. To use the battery function I'd need to get fresh batteries for it. For the Canon, it cannot function without Batteries. Therefore, I'll need to invest in some for that. Who knows if I'll keep them or sell them. If I sell or trade them. Obviously, that will be towards getting a Camera that excepts SD Cards, not relying on Film alone. I do prefer these Camera's over most others especially more than my Nikon L110. Yet without a steady flow of money. It seems investing in film is not happening anytime soon so far. I'm thinking in saving up for a Decent Film Scanner so I can convert the rolls to film. Or that "I'm Back Film 35mm Project". So that I could keep at least 1 of these film Camera's. Without being stuck using only Digital Point and Shoots, Cellphone's. Yet that "I'm Back Film" Project is pretty Pricey. Therefore, it might not happen, or it would take a pretty long time to afford.

This Change is due to the fact I discovered that the RICOH KR-5 happens to be my number one Favorite Still Camera.

Wish me good Luck.

As of Yesterday, I received, two Film Camera's and one Silver or Grey Camera Bag, a small Telescope. A made in Taiwan Canon Eos Rebel G w/ a Canon Eos EH8 L Covering, a 35-80mm 0.4m/1.3ft. AF, and MF Canon Zoom EF. 1:4-5.6 III. ø 52mm Lens, Made in U.S.A. Tiffen 52mm Sky 1-A Filter. Aswell as a Made in Japan RICOH KR-5 W/ a Riconar 1:2.2 55mm Lens, Made in Japan 52ø/52mm Haze Filter. Sadly, my Ricoh currently has no Film; to use the battery function I'd need to get fresh batteries for it. For the Canon, it came with a roll of film but idk if it's blank or not, it cannot function without Batteries. Therefore, I'll need to invest in some for that. Who knows if I'll keep them or sell them. If I sell or trade them. Obviously, that will be towards getting a Camera that excepts SD Cards, not relying on Film alone. I do prefer these Camera's over most others especially more than my Nikon L110. Yet without a steady flow of money. It seems investing in film is not happening anytime soon so far.
