I do not drive around checking out thrift stores, but I used to hit the camera swap meets held locally several times a year, and a few hock-shops when really bored. Rather than go in to the store dependent on the store providing batteries to determine whether a camera functions properly, I used to keep a kit of batteries in a couple of little ziplock baggies: 2-AA, 2-4-AAA, 1-123A, and 2-44L(?) button cells. This will cost about $10 to assemble and will power 99% of all cameras, flashes, and light meters you will run into, whether that are $10 P-n-S or a Nikon F3. If you go into a store, thrift store, camera store or whatever, if they sell used cameras, and they say they do not have batteries to let you test the camera, it's more than 50% certain that the camera is broken, and the store knows it.

Got my hands on the AF2 for $40 with the original case and even a Close-up +1 lens filter the other day, it's such a fun camera. The flash actually works on it and I think the non-motorized version just makes it more reliable since there's less that could break on it. Really glad I found this, it's just nice addition to my Minolta collection, and it being a point n shoot with its amazing sharp lens makes it perfect for quick street shots or even parties with its powerful flash and auto-focus

@Francois_L_7933 2 года назад

One of the first things I do when I get a used camera is remove the neck strap and wash it in a plastic pot with some dishwashing liquid. I also use plenty of cotton swabs to clean every little corner of the camera.

@tylerp3327 2 года назад

Found the AF-2 at my local for $10 with the case and lens cap. Luckily people in my city haven’t caught on to film cameras so they generally remain cheap and frequent. Can’t wait to see how the photos come out 🔥🔥

@DM-ti1yk 2 года назад

nice find - I buy lots of used cameras - be careful with cleaning products - they often contain bleach. Best thing to use is Isopropyl - sometimes called rubbing alcohol - available in chemist shops. Cotton buds are awesome !

@alexandermetodiev7854 2 года назад

Last Saturday I found one for 3$ but it had bad batteries from 2012 which I barely removed.. cleaned it afterwards and everything works very smooth! Looks like a really nice quality camera!!

@mariopiper9256 2 года назад

Great video!!! Found a Nikon Action Touch (basically L35AW) for $3.00. Took it home, shot the roll of film that came with it (expired Kodak 200 from who knows when) and developed it. Great camera and very very clean! A gem! As far as your Minolta AF2-M, excellent find bro!

@patrickempty 2 года назад

I used to see yashica t2 and t3 cameras in LA sometimes, but i have been striking out since the pandemic. In fact I just kinda gave up and paid the fee to have my 1998 FM2n cleaned and tested so I can use it as a change of pace setup for casual shoots along with my D850.

@jing4492 2 года назад

I used to own this camera, but didn't fall in love with it when I shot a roll through it (ultramax 400). The photos came in underexposed. Had the same flash issue, similar to your copy of the AF2. Try shooting a roll of film with a higher iso, that would help you out with your photos exposure.

@richardt1792 2 года назад

In the early days of digital, it was the golden age of thrifting film camera. Many people thought film was dead and eventually would not be made anymore. Bins were filled with all matter of point and shoots and the occasional SLR. There were so many, I passed on many that have become cult classics, and they were only a few bucks. I have stopped looking because the pickings have become so slim.

@RustyX2010 Год назад

Same with computer stuff, everyone was throwing out their computers and other electronics fearing the Y2K Bug and it died down after 2005 when thrift stores started getting "smart" and were posting all the good stuff on eBay.

im using this film camera. using like 2 years or almost 3 years i think. its amazing but now the shutter button itself stucked. i don't know why. maybe I'm using it like past 2 or 3 month ago without taking out the film (BCS the roll not finished yet) and battery.

It would be dope if you tried doing a professional model shoot with various cameras, maybe some vintage lighting gear? Some 90's style thing and compare the different results from them on some portra film maybe? Cheers man.

@ripemangosmdm7997 2 года назад

Buy the rip offs! They are still cameras that can make images! Not if they are over priced though. But the more cameras in circulation, less in the landfill, the better.
