For camera lovers


My friend took me to a camera swap meet today.


I have been looking for a new tripod, so I was hoping to find a nice tripod. unfortunately I counldn't find what I wanted. I saw one which was well made. It was solid enough to be used as a rocket launcher, but it would be too heavy for me to take it to rivers.

Things were mostly old stuff (at least for someone like me got into photography with digital cameras), and I didn't find anything that I can use for my camera apart from one Sigma's zoom lens.

At the end, it was still an interesting morning to see so many old cameras particularly a Hasselblad 500 series with 3 lenses with a price tag of $4800.


カメラのフリーマーケットに友達と行ってきました。
出品されていた物のほとんどが古い
フィルムカメラのボディー(ミノルタかペンタックスが多数)レンズで、唯一僕のキャノンで使えるものはシグマのズームレンズが一つ。

オリンパスのOM-1が日本円で1万5千円位、ハッセルの500シリーズがレンズ3個付いて48万。 Leica IIIf (とボディーに書いてありました)は5万円。 この手の
クラシックカメラの相場が全く分からない自分にとってはそもそもそれらが安いのか高いのか検討がつきませんでした。 売ってるおじちゃん達はいずれも「バーゲン価格だ」とは言っていましたが。
