I crapped my pants at my girlfriends house today /p/. Let me tell you why.My g/f used to live in the ghetto, and they got robbed twice about ten years ago. They were getting screwed by the insurance, but they did get one thing out of it. My g/fs uncle worked at wolf camera and gave them a reciept to turn in to their insurance, so they atleast got a nice camera out of it.Fast forward 10 years, and her mom sees me carrying around my camera bag and she remembers that she has her own camera. She pulls out this old tamrac bag covered in mud and hands it to me.Inside I found:A Nikon FM2, chrome50mm f1.4 AF28mm f2.8 af70-300mm afSB-23 flash, cable releasefilters, and 1 roll of kodak 800 that probably expired when I was 12.This thing is mintier than mint. Not a single mark on any of it. It had the original goddamn roll of film in it. It was kodak gold 800, but the ISO dial was still on the factory 100. The 50mm and 28mm had tiffen filters on them, but other wise looked untouched. They have no idea how to work it, and wonder why it won't autofocus. "It just keeps flashing little red lights inside the window" they tell me. It was loaded with film and 5 pics were taken.And then I did a stupid fucking thing, I told them how much it was all worth. I want it. Badly.Her parents have warmed up to me over the past 2 years, maybe I'll get it for my birthday in Febuary, they sure as hell have no idea what they have.
>>and wonder why it won't autofocusits a MF body.
I wouldn't have told them what it was worth. I'd have bagged the lot.

Being seen with camera bags works wonders.My aunt saw me walking with one."Ohh! I have one you can have if you really want, it's something like, uhh, leika? Can that be correct?""...<3"
>>110135Maaaan. So far the best camera that that technique has netted me was a Minolta HiMatic E.
>>110137That's how I got the D40 and the N6006 :)
