Welcome Back To 60's With My New Camera

(Edited)

I was walking with my crushes about 2 months ago, just before the quarantine when I saw this in a shop window...

Wow, being fond of old things and objects and vintage, I could not continue my way.

And many more so, I came into the store to ask for information and if it was functional especially ...
Which was the case.

I feel like I acquired a masterpiece from the past. For me it is very special. I really like! From then on my choice fell on that one ... The Edixa Prontor 500LK

Look at this wonderful! Entwined with a shell and supported by a leather strap. I bought two films of 32 captions.

I feel amazed, it's just wonderful.

The shell, by the way I was sad to do not have any other informations about it :( Don't hesitate to lighting me.

I am really happy. I have started to take some pictures and I will not wait to develop them and see how many pictures I lost and the negatives :)

I have my Grand father's old Canon camera AE-1 and the thought is intriguing.
Right now I'm too lazy to try and find film and someone develop it, lol!

Hi @misschance. We owned a vintage camera also. A Poloroid. It was one of those instant cameras that took your picture and spit it out right in front of you while it developed.

Thanks for sharing your find.
