Came with a bag, 35-80mm f/4-5.6 kit lens, 2 rolls of 20yo film, and a roll of APS film (for some reason).
I'll get some batteries in it when I get home to see if it works.
Edit: It works perfectly. The rubber on the hand grip has gotten a bit tacky, but I know how to clean that.
My wife says is fine, but I don't know.
Waymo LLC, an Alphabet Inc. subsidiary, runs driverless Jaguar I-PACE and purpose-built robotaxis whose external cameras, LiDAR, and radar exist to keep the vehicle in its operational design domain. The same stack continuously images streets, windshields, storefronts, and people who never booked a ride. Waymo’s Services Privacy Policy states that while testing and improving the service it processes “limited personal data relating to public individuals,” and that this data “may include faces of individuals and vehicle licence plates.” The cameras-and-microphones help page says the company does not use facial recognition or other biometric identification to identify people. Those two sentences can both be true: pixels of faces and plates are collected for perception and model improvement without a named-identity lookup. Dual use is structural. A perception camera pointed through a neighboring windshield is also a record of who was where. Unlike Flock Safety ALPR poles, which are sold to police as a lookup network, Waymo’s product is a moving sensor platform whose bystander imagery is a side effect of driving—and still personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act.
Waymo does not publish a Google-style transparency report of how many warrants, subpoenas, or emergency requests it receives or how many it narrows or rejects. WIRED documented that Mesa and Chandler police in Arizona have sought Waymo footage since 2016; TechCrunch counted at least nine search warrants in San Francisco and Maricopa County by 2023. The company’s first-responder protocol directs agencies to waymolawenforcement@google.com and says data is produced only under “proper legal process.” Co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana and subsequent spokespeople say over-broad requests are challenged. That policy is not a substitute for counts. Retention is described as “reasonably necessary” and, in an August 2026 Nashville Banner interview, as case-by-case for system improvement. San Francisco police once arrived with a warrant after the clip had already been deleted; San Mateo police received cabin-related material after a Waymo flagged two teenage riders. Parked vehicles continue to perceive. A research agreement with Nexar exists; Waymo denies a Flock-style sharing partnership. Bystanders have no trip-history screen and no practical CCPA deletion path for a face captured at an intersection.
Remote assistance is the other documented offshore surface. In a 17 February 2026 letter to Sen. Edward J. Markey, Waymo’s Ryan McNamara wrote that about 70 remote-assistance agents are on duty at a time across four sites—Arizona, Michigan, and two cities in the Philippines—with roughly half the shift in the Philippines. Median one-way latency is given as about 150 milliseconds domestically and 250 milliseconds abroad. Waymo states those agents advise the automated driving system and do not steer; Event Response Team work, including first-responder contact, is reserved for U.S. staff. The Senate record still shows overseas contractors receiving scene context from U.S. public roads. Markey treated that as a safety and cybersecurity question. Waymo treated it as scale. Neither description creates a public audit of what camera frames those desks can pull, for how long, or under whose employment-screening standard.
Net risk is a privately owned street-level archive that is denser than a fixed ALPR grid, travels into neighborhoods Flock may not have bid, and answers to warrants rather than to a published retention schedule. California SB 34 limits how local ALPR networks share with out-of-state and federal users; no equivalent statute tells a robotaxi how long it may keep a bystander’s plate or which foreign operations center may view a live assist clip. NHTSA Standing General Order crash reporting and California DMV AV rules address collisions and tickets, not bystander video. Oversight that stops at “we do not run facial recognition” leaves the pixels, the warrants, the parked-car recordings, and the Philippine assist desks outside routine public accounting. The comparison to Flock is not that Waymo is an ALPR vendor. It is that a ride-hail fleet can function as one without calling itself one.

The assassination of Melissa Hortman, ICE raids, the murders of Renee Good & Alex Pretti, Flock conventions, disinformation around daycare centers, Ilhan Omar being targeted by white supremacists, far-right marches, the list goes on.
What is it about Minnesota and Minneapolis specifically that has the white supremacists so riled up and so emboldened? I understand that many of these events happen in other places, but it appears to be more frequent in Minnesota.
I'm not criticizing, I'm just curious as it seems like your area is being specifically targeted.
I'm awaiting a response from my dad, but I believe the Brownie belonged to my grandparents. This is awesome!
The Brownie seems to work fine, the shutter actuates and the film winding appears to work. There is some water damage on the viewfinder mirror, but it's not serious.
The Automatic 35 appears to have some issues. I don't think the shutter is firing.
This is Posey, he was purchased (adopted) from a local thrift store.
These photos are from a roll of film that I discovered at a thrift store. Does anyone recognize the band or the location pictured?
Edit: The location had been determined and the musicians found!! I've shared the photos with as many of them as I could get in contact with. The guitar player and singer have been married for 20 years!!
I discovered an undeveloped roll of film in a camera I bought from a thrift store in the Sacramento area. In one of the photos, I see a yearbook from El Camino High School, so I'm inclined to believe that the family pictured live(ed) in the area.
If anyone recognizes this lovely family, I'd love to send all of the photos I have to them.

Hello, everyone,
I'm looking at making the switch to Linux due to a growing number of problems, security issues, & unwanted features present within Windows, but I have one major concern before doing so.
I'm a photographer and I've primarily been using Lightroom & Photoshop for all of my editing, but I know that Adobe does not currently support Linux, it would require a workaround that I'm not too keen on doing, and because fuck Adobe.
Does anyone know of any programs that will work natively on Linux and are at least similar to Adobe in function and capability?
It's like new! No damage at all, glass doesn't have any fog or fungus, everything functions perfectly! The store I went to had no idea what they had and let it go for $10.
