Macro Photography

I have been practising my photography and trying out the 'macro' function on my digital camera. I am impressed with the results especially because its all new to me.
 

The photos above are of a nice old Kodak Vigilant Six-20 Bellows camera and I like how these turned out.

The next Camera is a Ziess Ikon Cocarette and the photo's show up all the details even the dust!


The following photo's of some of the things I have lying around including this old Kodak No.3 Folding Pocket camera.

Yashica 35mm Camera

Here are some photo's of a collectible YASHICA MINISTER 700 35mm camera. This is a nice old camera, as you can see in the photo's.
The camera is working fine but requires a new battery for the light meter. The shutter action works fine and fires on all speeds.
The 35mm camera also has a lens filter fitted and comes with original case which is in a fair condition.
The camera would require some cleaning and a new battery but once completed, this would be a great camera to own. Either as part of a camera collection or to use, I don't think you would be dissapointed.

Just in case, if not 100% satisfied for any reason then the camera can always be returned.

Its been a while!

Its been a while since posting anything and its the usual excuse of being too busy, just aint enough time. Anyway, I have been productive with my time and actually started to concentrate on taking a 'better' photograph. Apart from it being fun, hopefully it should improve sales becuase you can see everything including the dirt.
I recently purchased this Sankyo Cine camera of Ebay and it was bargain although it does require a good clean. Maybe I should of cleaned it before taking such detailed photo's but I like the 'honesty' in these photo's. A lot of the equipment I sell usually suffers from wear and shows signs of age. One of the main problems is that they have been used for many years.
The great thing about these old cine cameras is that they are usually 'well' made and most of the one need a good clean and they are as good as new. Anyway, I have 'blathered' on plenty and so onto the photographs, one last thing, did I mention this camera is for sale? Whoever buys this could get themselves a bargain, as I mentioned, I did.
You should be able to find it on my website - www.charliequins.com - with more details. Anyway, the photo's.......
