I confess that I’ve been wanting this camera for quite a while now. Perhaps for several years! I saw one for sale quite some years back but the price was a little on the high side (for me) and after giving that a miss … I somehow forgotten about it. Phew! Well … that’s until recently I chanced upon this unit for sale that is in very minty condition and comes with the original pouch and box! I contacted the seller and (pushed my luck) offered him an amount and who knows … he agreed! I’ve seen some other units with signs of use, without the pouch or box … going for some price that’s pretty much more than what I offered him. After a short ‘rest’ from buying cameras … I finally bought my first camera for the year!
Almost flawless!
It wasn’t all the rave about this compact (maybe for those old days) camera that got me interested in it. Look at this photo below and you’ll probably be able to tell why …
Yeah! All those cool looking analogue displays!!! Those are enough to set me drooling!
The seller also gave me a very nice looking original Nikon 35Ti/28Ti brochure and a file containing some of those instructions/reviews/info about the camera. Cool ain’t it? 😀
Although I don’t have big hands (ermm … just fat fingers), I agree with the reviews about this camera about the super darn small buttons. It is really pretty difficult to press them without using my fingernails.
I hope I won’t smile in my sleep tonight. 😀 The camera is loaded and I’ll definitely try finish a roll this weekend.
Some info about this camera can be found [here] and [here].
I also received a parcel today! No … not more cameras but a 2 DVD + 2 CD set of Metallica’s ‘Orgullo Pasion Y Gloria : Three Nights In Mexico City‘ concert. This set is supposed to be availably only to some Latin American countries but thank God for Amazon.com … I got it shipped here. Can’t wait for the weekends to watch the DVDs! I’ll just go put on my headphones and blast the night away. Wish I could be at Green Day’s concert this evening but there are just too many other things I need to spend my time on.
