I'm beginning to suspect that @stevelmx5 is not one person but a collective.
We go away for a week of sun next month....
What??? 130 cameras to build and he's already taking holidays!!!
A 1960s cigarette case?Wonder what an acrylic skin SX70 would look like..
Colour processing is here again

Paid £200 for it which seems quite reasonable as it is in excellent condition
I should probably add. This is a holiday camera that I wouldn’t use much here at home (mainly because it’s £18 for 8 shots!). Assuming it actually works, I’m going to clean it up and get some film through it so shouldn’t take up too much time. We go away for a week of sun next month so I’ll hopefully get some good results from it.
Behave man. get some film through it! Ha. I have been using my SX-70 more and love it.
Did you get that EOS-3 you mentioned?Added another EOS to the collection.
You should have some fun with that lot Shane, and it should keep you quiet for a bit just looking at it all let alone using it! Once the brighter weather arrives try some rolls of Kodak Ektar 100 colour print film and Fuji Acros 100 black and white print film in that Yashica and see what you think. My Yashica 635s seem to like those films and give nice looking results with it. And don't forget to show us your results with it.
None of my cameras sit on a shelf unused. I haven't used more than 4 shots on the EOS 3 so far, I've had the A-1 in my bag since I bought it and have taken maybe 7 shots. I haven't loaded the EOS 1 or the Nikon F-401 that arrived on Thursday I think, and today I bought this T80.The A1 seems to be missing the hand grip off the front but it can't be bad at that money if it works OK and there's no shutter squeak - oh, and be careful if opening the battery door as they can become very fragile with age, so don't let it spring back against the side of the lens mount box! You should enjoy using the EOS-3, first thing to do would be to re-set the eye controlled focus memory then spend some time calibrating it in both portrait and landscape mode, I find it works very well if set up right. Certainly easier than scrolling around on a modern DSLR to select a focus point. Don't forget to show us your results from them once you've put a film through them... they're all too good to sit on a shelf unused.
You say that like it's a good thing.Brian will like it
How about one of Beauty and the Beast?It's a good job you say it works well because I don't think it's got much else going for it; looks wise, I think it must have fallen out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down! Quick Steve, post another photo of that Canon A1 to redress the balance!

I did notice when I opened and closed the T80 it seemed to fire off 3 or four shots, it seemed a bit excessive.
I have the T80 stereo, on a pneumatic tripod head, someday it'll be worth something..
As a Canon user, I don't normally like Nikons, but you've got to admire a piece of kit that looks at a quick glance something like the skyline of New York!
I guess I just need the black version for the skyline silhouette... (Any excuse lol).As a Canon user, I don't normally like Nikons, but you've got to admire a piece of kit that looks at a quick glance something like the skyline of New York!
Got me a Bronica SQ-A. Someone has touched it up with a bit of black Dulux gloss (at least that's what it looks like). TBH they haven't done a bad job but it still looks hand panted in places but hey-ho I guess that's why the price was good
