Man I should really make the trip there to look around. It is only like an hour away…

Not sure what map you're looking at, it's clearly the left side of PA ... ... I'll show myself out

As a British person hearing “wrong side of “insert state here” is mind boggling

Wrong side of Yorkshire for you.

Do you get your film processed there? I'm curious how their scans are.

u/JonPhoto1391 Dec 09 '24

Yes! I get all my film scanned here, everything is on my profile. Not too much so far but I should get my next roll back of Kodak 400 from Green Bank WV this coming Friday and I’ll post whatever I get back that looks good.

Thank you! Looks great, I'm going to give them my film next time I'm in Reading.

You should stop in and see for yourself….. 😉

I was just in there a few days ago and they’re all untested but most likely working is what one of the guys said. They had a huge sale going on. You can follow them on Instagram to see everything they have. Huge collection of analog cameras!

Second the Bolex, looks like it doesn’t have any lenses tho. I do see some Olympus OMs in the back and a 4x5 studio camera.

Good eye spotting the old Calumet view. Be a nice score if the ground glass isn't broken.

I would go thru that box of filters.

I think I see some Kodak PC filters.

u/DeepDayze Dec 08 '24

Looks like that Calumet's groundglass looks unbroken and hopefully not cracked so that's a good sign.

u/Secure_Teaching_6937 Dec 08 '24

Those cameras were tanks. Great student camera. Just can't break em

Just the Nikon F was a classic tank in the SLR world. That Calumet might have been in the toughest places that the F can go and take a bit of abuse.
