Here we have my dads old skool camera that he used to take drag racing pics from back in the day :

It may look old and shitty but wow this camera takes incredible pictures.
 
You typical SLR. I got one almost identical, but my flash quit working for some reason...

My grandfather has one too. It IS identical to mine, but he has many other lenses. He has one that's about 600mm. It's amazing how huge it is, especially when you compare it to my Panasonic digicam which has a 432mm zoom but is smaller than our standard lenses.

Do you have any idea where I open the film compartment in my camera? I can't get it open.

I just flashed the flash in my eyes and I have a massive headache now and seeing spots and im blinded Loll. Won't do that again.
 
Did you try pulling up on the rewinder knob? :P

And yes, those flashes are quite powerful. Not a good idea to flash it too close ;) I originally had hoped to use that pictured flash on my Panasonic. But unfortunetly, it's dead as I mentioned...

Also how do I snap a pic with it??

Dude, I'm not going to type a step by step guide on how to use it :P But yes, any standard 35mm file should work.

aw this fkn sucks. My dad just told me that the camera doesn't work anymore.

What a downer.... Just the zoom and flash are still good. Im so pissed at that :mad:
 
I'll take them... Haha. if you really want to use an old 35mm, I'm sure you can find one on ebay. You'd just need to check on the lenses. I don't think they followed any standard(IE, I don't think your lens would work on my camera) But then again, I don't know much about the older 35mm. I have only REALLY used one once.
