I am selling off most of my Canon cameras, lenses and accessories. I have multiple F1 and F1n cameras including 1 brand new, never used, F1 body. I also have AE1, AE1 Program, EFs, A1, AT1, FTB-QL, GIII 40mm 1.7. Winders, motor drives, filters, F1 focusing screens, battery packs, and FD mount...

Hasselblad S-Planar 5.6/120mm Close Range Lens In very good condition, in hard storage case. The glass is clear, no swirls, no dust, no fungus. Mechanicals are good, focus is smooth, shutter fires as it should. There are two minor scuffs on the barrel which I have noted in the photos. The lens...

Yes the EF is a very nice camera and very capable too. I used my EFs (3) as a backup to my F1. For general all aorund causal shooting I always used an EF and was never disappointed.

More than likely it was a Compaq Portable which came with a 9" green CRT, (later models had grren or amber CRTs) 5¼" FDD. New that unit sold w/o a hard drive for around 3000.00. You could ad 10MB HDD with controller for about 1500. Although the screen was green monochrome it supported CGA...

I watch the computer industry grow up and a lot of "us" computer people were instrumental in the industry's growth. It wasn't just the Silicon Valley "whiz kids" but a lot of people like yu and I. I have a little factoid for you. Prior to becoming the industry PC and Server giant, for a while in...

I try to stay off 6 as much as possible, especially at morning and afternoon commute times. To make matters worse, there is construction going on related to the new Amazon warehouse and distrbution center. I use the back roads to 44. even 44 is a challenge because of the overpass to 295. The...

Hi, We have a Del's near us on Route 6 in Johnston. I am in No Scituate.

We worked primarily on the hardware side. We provided LAN servers, desktop PCs and all the hardware infrastructure needed by our clients. All fo our servers and desktops were built in house and we were very successful at it with as very loyal customer base. Once we installed the network hardware...

Hi, I had pretty much the same. 4X5 down to a Minox too. To me the Minox worked fine but was more of a novelty. For medium format I used my Hassleblads or Pentax 6x7. I started with a Rolleiflex TLR back in 1962 when I was at prep school in Thompson CT. I still have it, stored away. But my...

Thanks, that is sound advice. I appreiate it.

That's a good question. I don't really know,

Isn't it something how something that once was is no more. My company was a Compaq reseller and service center. Compaq "dethroned" IBM as the lead PC maunfacturer. Now people ask, Compaq who? Same for Lotus 123, Supercalc, WordStar and a lot of other names that marked our generation is the IT...

Hi, Thanks for the welcome. I look forward to meeting more of the members. I see you are retired. Was your career in IT? I am retired too after owning an IT company in RI and Southern New England from 1982 through 2017. I cut my teeth on Xenix and then on to SCO Unix. My area of expertise was...

Hi, Thanks for the welcome message. A very long time refers back to the mid 80s. I will have to learn the new types as I am used to the names Plus-X Tri-X, Ekatchrome, High Speed Ektachrome, Kodachrome, and the rest of the film types. for starters I am going to shoot primarily in b&w. When I...

Thanks for the welcome Larry. I have been going over each camera, lens, and accessories. I hope to get started soon. All I can shoot now is 35mm. Years ago I sold off all my medium format equipment (Hassleblad, Pentax 6x7) thinking I wasn't going to use them again. I guess I was wrong, but I...
