OMG! Someone is actually selling this on eBay

Over on the Coffee Can Collectors forum, they are complaining about all the vintage coffee cans being turned into pinhole cameras. It's all a matter of perspective.

Why the hell would you use a vintage coffee can?
I can think of three reasons why not and six reasons for using a new one.

I sympathize with the coffee can collectors. It always makes me cringe to see a vintage item mutilated.

For example, I love classic cars but it bothers me to see them customized or turned into hot rods.

I have to admit that I was not aware that coffee is sold in 'cans'.. "She who must be obeyed" has just returned from her weekly shopping 'trip' and handed me 4 bags of Melitta 'Dark' coffee beans that will be ground but a minute a before the water comes to a 'boil'. i will never 'allow' pre-ground coffee in the shopping cart since it will probably be 'somewhat' oxidized after sitting in the store 'bins' for a week or so.

I in the "its just an object, do with it as you like" camp. There is still a huge oversupply in cameras to people buying them. Thats why they're so cheap.
