my wife and myself went to my grand mother's house last night for an early xmas dinner with her and my aunt,well she walked out with a dusty duffel bag and said ,"this was your grand father's and it's yours now",(he passed away in 79),
.
well I was amazed,

Ahhh... back in the day! I remember when a friend bought a new AE-1. I was shooting a Pentax Spotmatic at the time. Great times. Great stuff. Congratulations- enjoy.

Nice collection, I have a FD 70-210 F/4 as well for my new F-1, its nice and the macro is nifty. I actually came across my new f-1, 50mm, and 28mm in a similar way, it was all my fathers ( he passed away a few years ago) while he was younger. It actually started my interest in photography.

To me they don't get much better than this, taken with a Sigma FD 70-210 APO on my 350D. I get lots of pictures of this quality, so I am happy.
