This is my new (to me) Canon FTb, 50mm f/1.8 and 200mm f/4 S.S.C. (the lens hood I happened to have in a box of random gear. The price I paid? Well nothing really. About 4 months ago my girlfriend Jenny and I traveled to Boston to attend a wedding of some friends of hers from college. While there I ran into an interesting gentleman with whom I started what would become a length conversation about cameras. He told me he had a few older cameras lying around his house and if I was interested just would like to see them go to a good home. We exchanged information and I came home to Portland, he home to Alaska. Fast forward to earlier this week and I received a surprise email from him saying he had found the cameras and would love to send them my way! Well the package showed up today and I couldn't be happier, I can't wait to give these cameras a good workout after all these years. And just think, if I hadn't had a film camera or been outgoing at the wedding reception, these pieces of photographic art would still be in a closet somewhere! I will write more about the outfit later on. But I figured I would share my excitement (and get that image hosted somewhere so I can post it other places) with you!
