Cameragasm

My grandfather, aware of growing interest in photography, recently gave me his old cameras. He was quite the shutterbug when he was younger, even converting the downstairs bathroom into a darkroom so he could develop his photos.

The first was a Minolta X-700. This thing came with a sexy telephoto lens that would make any man feel self-conscious. This thing is probably worth more than a semester's tuition. I incredibly happy to see this camera and I hope to use it for my beginning photography class this semester. My other film camera (given to me by my paternal grandfather) is also a Minolta, along with three lenses. I am hoping that the two cameras use the same lens mounts, so I can interchange the lenses. 

The real treasure is the 1961 Rolleiflex 3.5F. I was completely in awe as I lifted it out of the case and inspected it. I barely managed to resist the urge to hold it up and say "my precious."
 It is in perfect condition. There isn't a single scratch on it, and it's fully functional. It even comes with an attachable flash. From what I could tell from my research, it will take 120 format film. I intend to pick some up as soon as possible. (And of course all this arrives on the ONE TIME I forget to bring my camera, so all I have is the crappy webcam to take photos. A part of me likes the irony, but higher quality photos will be arriving soon.) 

This thing is my new baby, I am completely in love with it. 

Why have babies when you can have twin lens reflex cameras?
