Hey /p/. I asked here quite some time ago but didn't get enough responses. I found these locked away. What should I do with them? I can't seem to find any tiny 6v batteries.

Canon A-1
FD 50mm 1.4
FD 24mm 2.8
FD Zoom 70-210 1,4
Motor Drive
Speedlite 188A

i think it says 1:4, so f/4 not 1.4

Oh, right

Also, I've been able to use the 50mm reversed for macro. Here's a 3.5mm earphone jack.

Use it, really. No excuses. Write down the number of the silver battery you need, and bug every electronics store in town.

It'll be worth it. That's some nice glass for a nice camera right there.

Too bad, but you can't get those batteries anymore. I suggest you send the camera to me instead.

send the equipment to me

I have batteries for it and a friend with another half dozen compatible lenses. Including a bellows for disgusting macro photography.

Any other good ideas? I'll definitely be trying to get it up again.

Ebay a battery (yes, they're still available). Probably doesn't even matter how old it is -- they hold charge for a decade at least in my experience (Dad owns an A-1). Buy some black and white or color film, and enjoy.

Though the 70-210 Zoom isn't probably that great, the 50 mm should be fantastic and the 24 mm should be pretty solid.

Of course black and white film. Duh.
