A Tiny Friend

Today at lunch I decided fill up some water jugs at the natural grocer and check a couple of thrift stores for goodies.

Honestly, I was hoping to find some old digicams that I could give to the kids so that they could do a bit of point and shoot at the zoo. But when I started digging through the cases at the front of the store I was in for a huge suprprise.

First I found a Minolta MC mega zoom lens. This thing looked like a bazooka. It was pretty clear from what I could tell but it looked neglected and I didn't want to take a risk that it had fungus so I moved on from it. It was only $8 so I'm still kind of torn on that one.

Then there were a bunch of those lenses that you can clip to a cell phone. That isn't really something that interests me all that much.

And I came to a case marke 'Rollei.' Oh boy. If you are a camera person you know the name Rollei.

Inside I find a clean a110 sub-micro camera. So lovely. What fantastic engineering.

I need to get a battery and some film and verify that it is in good working order but I just know that it is going to be.

I'm going to order some of the lomography lobster red film. Really can't wait to see how the pictures come up.
