Tried to buy a photo album

Go to a thrift store. They are plentiful used but likely not much demand for new ones.

A second F2, this one with a working meter. Because apparently buying an entire camera body is somehow cheaper than the meter by itself.

Good news! The meter on the camera that I just got works! Bad news, the meter that was on my old camera… also works on the new camera. And neither meter works on my old camera… FUUUUU

You might laugh…. Tried to buy a photo album at W, earlier today.
Three different people I asked looked at me like I was crazy! I mentioned it to my niece, and she thought I was talking about getting a printed book with my photos…. Apparently there is such a thing today. She’s gifted various family members these sort of photo books.
The search continues. I’m not ordering thru the internet. I’m determined to find one locally.
Wish me luck!

(I realise you are not buying on the internet, but the links below are provided as examples. A good paper or crafts store is likely to have something similar.)

You can make a cool bespoke album by buying a blank scrapbook book like this:

... and using these to mount pictures in it. It's a nice throwback to how it was done in Olden Tymes (tm):

There are many different such blank books available, and - depending on your needs - you may want to find one with acid free paper.

These make for a nice custom gift.

I’m definitely going with these tabs! That’s how I remember albums being back in the day.
Thank you for the link, C!
Peace.

Well, now...that's a perfect opportunity to buy a plain prism for the old camera!

Probably just gonna send KEH back their camera and get refunded TBH, unless anyone here wants it? Idk if $225 inc. shipping for a tested/working F2S is still a good deal or not.
