Cameras off the Berkeley

[Vaughn]

What fun - boxing up a few cameras for one of my sons to use for a photo class at Berekely!

For simplicity I am tossing in a TLR Graflex 22 -- basically a Ciro-flex after the Graflex Company bought Ciro-flex out. No bells or whistles on that old thing! Also a Mamiya C220. The 55mm lens will not open its shutter, but I tossed in the 80mm, 150mm and 250mm with it. All seem to be fine, but he might have to exercise the shutters a bit!

Can't find my Nikon N2000 -- so he'll have to do with the K1000 and a 50mm/1.7 lens (and a 50mm macro lens) for 35mm work. K-mount lenses are not hard to find if he needs more!

He'll probably be asking to borrow my LF cameras next...hopefully!

he certainly will have some good choices to experience film!

hopefully some long father and son darkroom fun sessions are in the offing!

Vaughn, a few years ago I bought my daughter an OM-1 kit. She recently asked me for one of my two Stereo Realist cameras. I of course told her she could have one. She also told me that after she graduates college she wants me to teach her to shoot the "big camera" (Wehman 8x10). I can't wait!

You have sewed the seed. Hopefully your son will be asking you to shoot your "big cameras" too!
