Put them in a box and send them to me with a check for $ 20.00. I will throw them out for you so you don't have to!


OK, maybe MT's idea was better!

Can't see the attraction with a digital, but with classic film cameras.... c'est fantastique!

I bought these especially for the lamp. The one on top is a Russian TLR commemorating the 1984 Olympics. I also have an Argus "Brick" and a Zeiss Ikon. I wanted something unusual. I have a few others waiting for their chance in the spotlight.

Hi all. I recently had two cameras stop working. They were the Canon 40D and Canon 50D. They both quit within 3 months of each other. Both no longer activate the shutter when you press the shutter release button, nothing happens. I'm having a hard time just throwing them away, but I don't want to pay the money to fix them. They both have a lot of shutter counts and I feel they don't owe me anything more. I have purchased a Canon 7D MK II and am thrilled with it. Has anyone had the same decision to make and what did you decide. Thanks.

I put them on a history shelf to look at and use for education.

I wonder who would make a lamp out of a camera???

Someone who did not want to use their clarinet for lighting.

Encase them in a cement block and use as a boat anchor. LOL

Now that's funny! I play clarinet in a symphony orchestra, and that's what I tell people to do with
their crappy metal clarinets. Run a threaded rod up the center and make a lamp out of it.
Unfortunately too many novice antique dealers think that they are worth money, and some sap gets stuck with one.

You could sell them for parts only and get $50 or more.

I, too, play clarinet. I figured there were some clarinet people here and that would pull them out of the woodwork. Cheers.

Uhhhh, I made one out of my wife's old metal clarinet.
You been spying on me?

Obviously, you did not have any old cameras to use.

3 Nikkormats, but couldn't get past using perfectly good lenses.
