    New toy from an old friend

    Bakerman35, a new member of PR, loaned me his mid 80's Canon film camera. It's a Canon AE-1 35mm. It has 4 lens's a tele converter, two flash units and a digital guy behind the viewfinder. I took a few pictures with it and immediately looked at the back of it to see the picture. LOL, I guess it is going to take some getting use to. I put the 50mm 1.8 on it, sense Alison seems to like the 50mm lens group the best. I'll keep it on for a while. I'll also post some of the pictures here as I get them. I do have a scanner.

    You will love that 50mm. Nothing like one of those. Good luck.

    All I have to do is learn how to get that darn roll of film on photoshop! Can I feed it through my CD drive? I still havn't found the USB port on the Canon.

    Take you negatives outside, hold it up and take a macro shot with the 500. Then upload the pictures.LOL
