I found the Coronet Flashmaster at the local antique market last month and got my husband to get it for me for Christmas. It’s a simple, point-and-shoot, medium format, bakelite camera from 1950s with no […]

Solo | Brownie Hawkeye Flash
Solo passed away today at age 25. He was one of the donkeys at the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada. I’m saddened by his passing but glad that I caught this moment in his life on […]
Bulb Exposure | Brownie Hawkeye Flash
Just wanted to show what could be accomplished with a Brownie Hawkeye Flash on Bulb mode. It’s about a 1-minute long exposure. The film I used was probably the discontinued Kodak Portra UC (I used […]
Water Skis | Sawyer’s Nomad 620
The Sawyer’s Nomad 620 is a rather bulky, bakelite camera with cool-looking design on the front plate (Google Images). It was made in the USA in the 1950s, I believe. The camera’s manufacturer was the […]
Old Timey | Ansco Shur Shot
The Ansco Shur Shot is my first box camera. Picked it up from one of those antique barn places out in the country for, I believe, $5. I took it with me to a cottage […]
This Morning Sky | Polaroid ProPack
I was about to list this Polaroid ProPack camera for sale on Etsy, but then I took some shots with it and fell in love with the results. Now I’m not sure I want to […]
French River | Polaroid Land Automatic 100
Once upon a time, I bought cameras just for the sake of adding quantity to my camera collection. Not really for using. The Polaroid Land Automatic 100 was one of such cameras. Only two years […]
Fallen | Pentax SP-1000
Bought the Pentax SP-1000 from a garage sale on some sideroad in the country. I think we paid $15 for it. Anyway, one of my husband’s best friends got married that same day so I […]
Rake | Praktica L2
The Praktica L2 is my first 35mm SLR camera with a decent lens. It came with a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm f/2.8 lens attached to it. Not really the fastest lens but it is […]
Old Automobiles | Fujipet EE
The Fujipet EE is one of my prized possessions, mostly because of the sentimental value. We bought it during our honeymoon from a barn sale just outside Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. I picked it up because […]
From The Hip | Akira 2000
The Akira 2000 is yet another crappy, plastic camera that was made to look like a SLR camera. I haven’t touched this camera for ages but I think you can adjust the aperture setting, and […]
Fly, Birds, Fly | Diana
I own several Diana clones, including the Lomography reproduction, but the original Diana is still my favourite of all. As far as toy camera goes, the Diana and the Holga are my go-to cameras as […]
