Canon EOS 1000 FN

I bought a Canon EOS 1000 FN camera at the flea market because it had a Canon EF 35-80mm lens on.
The camera feels and is plasticky, it has all the main functions of an EOS camera (P, Av, Tv, creative modes etc.) but lacks the Depth-Of-Field preview.

I tried a 100 ASA Fuji film with some manual old lenses. In order to mount a non-Canon lens in the camera a lever in the lens mount needs to be stuffed with something (paper tissue) to stay cocked.

Here are some results, all taken in Av aperture priority mode.

with an old Tele Tamron 135mm/f2.8 lens

With an old Hokunar 35mm/f3.5 lens that is very soft at the edges

With an Exaktar 55mm/f1.7

Kiev 4 with an external viewfinder

I found an external viewfinder for rangefinders cameras in the flea market. It has lenses for viewing with the 135mm, 85mm, 35mm, 28mm lenses. So, I put some film in the Kiev 4 with a working light-meter and tested my Jupiter 9 85mm/f2 and the 35mm/2.8

These are my Kievs with their lenses

Here are some photos

Nikon L35AF, a second try

I liked the performance of the Nikon L35AF so I put another film in it.

Once the ASA/ISO of the film is set the camera takes pictures automatically. Just press the button!

The camera delivers nice crisp pictures with accurate exposure.

Olympus LT-1, a stylish wallet?

The Olympus LT-1 is a basicaly an Olympus Mju-I camera covered with leather. I found mine in the flea market and easily paid the 2 euros asked by the vendor. Mine is brown and looks like a very stylish wallet.
It has a 35mm/f3.5 lens, same as the Mju, so I knew that this camera will take nice pictures too.
ISO range is great, from 50 to 3200, but shutter speeds are limited, slowest speed starts at 1/15th sec
