Look what I picked up on ebay!

Picked up this vintage cam on ebay for 20 bucks! Believe it or not, the camera is still functional. I bought it just for show, looks great on my desk! The background on the pics is a bit distracting, but these were some quick snaps to show everyone my find!

all you need to do now is add a digital back to it, and you are set!

looks to be in great shape too..

that is so cool! nice find!

Awesome desk decoration! ++ That it still works!!

is that a twin lens reflex? Looks like an old Yashica twin my dad had. Have fun cocking it and listening to what shutters used to sound like doubt you'll find film for it lucky if you find the other lens sets.

BTW sjafari I want one of those digital backs too, where you said I find one?

Oh and I picked up this beauty today on ebay, paid 44 for this one. It's a 1946 Canon FX, it's fully functional, and is in pristine condition, you can see it at the link below, it's not a similar one, it's the one I'm getting. It even has a lbuilt in lightmeter! Here is the link from the seller http://www.vintagephot​o.tv/canonfx.shtml

wow, very cool. original box and instructions too? congrats on the find!

how many megapixels is it?

It would look really good in B/W or sepia to give it a look of ye olde fashiondy.

dont they still make twin reflexes today? I can Imagine you can get film...we'd LOOOOOve to see some shots from that beauty!!
