Recently, while clearing out my MIL’s place I came across some film cameras. I own quite a few Minolta, Canon and Nikon 35 mm cameras, as well as Kodak Instamatic type cameras and of course several Polaroid instant print like the SX-70 cameras, but I found a Canon Elph Jr
and a Olympus XA in her garage. Both were wrapped and safely stored away as a result they are both in great shape.
. The Olympus actually sells for a little money.($150-$200) https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001JI5WZA/ref=dp_olp_0?ie=UTF8&condition=all
Interesting to me was the discovery of APS film, called Advantix film from Kodak. I really didn’t know much about it when it came out, but it is required for the Elph. Anyone ever used it? Apparently, it isn’t made any longer, but available from several sellers as cold-storage film.
As I have recently recovered several old cameras from my MIL I’m beginning to think maybe I should shoot a roll or two with them.
Anyone else nostalgic about these old film cameras? Have you had good luck with them?
