How about my Praktina IIa or my Exa I? (:
I might add for your information that it feels about like being stung by a hornet....not a good feeling.
Try KEH Camera in Atlanta, Georgia.
That should read, never liked snakes.
I have liked snakes. I was bitten once when I was 11 years old while following behind my father, who was going through high weeds on a bulldozer. I never saw the snake but assume it was a copperhead since they are very prevalent in South Carolina.
When going through security I have had the TSA people have me turn the camera on to show them that it is a working camera and not a bomb. I don't see why that couldn't become standard procedure at all airports. They could set up a special line just for checking cameras.
Changing the subject a little bit...I have a number of 35mm cameras but I have not shot film in a number of years. How expensive is it now to buy film and have it processed after shooting? I'm not a pro.
