I collect vintage cameras and am rather picky about which ones I get.

Currently I have an Olympus OM10 from the late 1970s, which was originally my grandma's (she can't see very well anymore and just gave it away). Came with filters and 3 lenses. :)


Much like this one...

I also have an old Eastman Kodak No. 2 Brownie, which is a box camera from around the 1910s. My uncle gave me this one as he found it in the bottom of a box he had purchased at an estate sale.


Such as this one...

And now for my new toy...  

 
This is it!!

A Sankyo ES-66XL super 8 film movie camera. I am still doing some research on it, but I am absolutely intrigued by this camera. It'll be my first video camera I've owned, so it's something different for sure. But the moment I laid eyes on it... I've fallen in love with it. It came with filters, which made it even more interesting as they make a frame on the film for special occasions and such. And it also came with a light meter (which is something I've been wanting to get as well).  

Sorry... I just got really excited and felt I needed to let it out somehow, lol. BUT... while I'm at it, it would be helpful if I could get some help out of this. I'm trying to find some info about this camera, such as date and even company info. Maybe even a manual (such as in pdf form)...? I don't know what exactly, but really any info about it would be nice. Please and thank you!

You are officially my favorite mod ever.

My nana has a brownie tucked away in her attic and won't let me have until I pass my first semester of college.

Aww... that's just evil of your grandma to do to you. lol

I honestly can't wait to even try it out. It runs and such, as it doesn't seem to have any damage to it or anything. My older brother told me that I may be able to find the super 8 film for it so I can try it out. Even if I do find it, I'll probably have issues finding somewhere to develop the film for me... but I'm still anxious despite all that! :)
