So now I have a Yashica T, T2\u00a0and T3 and to finish it off the Yashica T4 Super Weatherproof all fitted with their fantastic Carl Zeiss lenses.\u00a0 I can hardly wait to start shooting with my new camera.<\/p>\n
It was a last-minute decision to go inside a thrift store as I drove by on my way home from the library my front seat so laden with photography books the airbag system\u00a0 probably\u00a0registered there was an adult sitting there.\u00a0 I had been in that store before never finding any cameras that I really wanted or felt I needed.\u00a0 This time though I came across a great looking Olympus Stylus Epic.\u00a0 My new find in hand I went over to the glass counter to see if there were any more\u00a0 to be had.\u00a0 As I waited for someone to assist me a\u00a0gentleman walked up nearby I could see he too had a camera he was going to purchase.\u00a0 It had that champagne colour that screams ‘this is from another decade past’\u00a0 I thought poor fellow he has a Minolta Big Finder or something similar while I have an Epic. I guess he saw my camera too because he came over to say hello\u00a0and we\u00a0exchanged the secret handshake that only camera collectors know.\u00a0 I could see besides his nice jacket and carefully chosen glasses he had a well-worn canvas camera bag and it was then that I also saw that it wasn’t some 1990’s cast away camera he had but a Yashica T4 super. A\u00a0desirable model of camera which I had never seen in person before.\u00a0 I must have been extremely excited because\u00a0after we determined that we knew of each others blogs and shared an interest in cameras he handed me the Yashica with a ‘I want you to have this’\u00a0 I think I was beaming\u00a0 the entire way home. And that is why cameras and photography make you a good person.\u00a0 (Okay I don’t actually have proof of that but it does prove that JJ Lee is a nice person)<\/p>\n
