@zen_zanon I spent ten years at Dalhousie. It's a great school. To get the most out of the experience it really pays to get involved with the societies. You'll meet more people, do more things, have MUCH more fun. Best years of my life were spent at Dalhousie.

As for a camera swap- I haven't heard of any yet. I do know Atlantic Photo Supply gets KEH to come in yearly and they'll buy cameras from you, but as for a swap, I don't know. As for buying chemicals, I know Atlantic Photo Supply doesn't stock it, but might be able to order it in for you.

If you're looking for some obscure part or lens or something for your camera, chances are you'll find it at the camera repair centre. They have like 60 years of bits lying about there. I got an old strap there that had holders for film canisters sewn into it. I haven't seen anything like it on amazon. They have sales on old lenses/cameras every few months, but even their full price isn't expensive.

I don't shoot much slide film myself. I find (looks both ways before saying this) scanning it is kind of tricky to get accurate colours. That is a great price though and I might take you up on your offer in the future.

I have brought a numbers of Hasselblad lenses and Nikon cameras from KEH. Good people.

That's awesome to hear KEH comes through town. I definitely have a few cameras I may want to offload on them. Thanks again for all of the information!

Hi, I'm in this forum too! <3 instabuddies

Ayyy good to see familiar names here!

Yeah, the safety is always off and he's got work to do!

I worked in Halifax for a couple of years at the tv station -- ATV. It's a beautiful city and I miss it dearly.

I shoot with a Bronica SQ-Ai, as well as the S2A. Just picked up the 40mm lens which is amazing for wide angle stuff. BTW, If you haven't already discovered this, here's a great YouTube channel from a guy who shoots primarily landscapes with his Bronica: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDvq7BPaphEIhBlyDN19rvQ/videos

Cheers,

I've been shooting landscapes with my SQ-A for over a decade, will definitely check out this youtube channel! Thanks.

Welcome.

Cheers!

Thanks so much!

My mintest lenses were all BGN purchases from KEH. Never had a bad experience with them.
