My favorite shots from my $3 “display piece” Taron Auto EE, before it broke for good

I got this camera at a used camera store for $3 as a non-working display piece. The camera is a 1965 Taron Auto EE (rangefinder with aperture priority mode). The artifacts in the beach pics are because the film got jammed in the camera and I opened it in a room that wasn’t perfectly light tight. The color photo is an accidental triple exposure. That was the camera’s last hurrah before the aperture petals broke off and the focusing ring disconnected.

Fujifilm FinePix A210 (2003) vs Nikon Z8 (2023)

I went to see the tall ships sail into port with my dad. This was my first photo outing with the FinePix, which I found in the give/take area at the dump a few years ago. My dad was shooting his Z8 with 180-600 telephoto lens. It’s a fun comparison to see the difference between 20 years and different camera types (entry lvl compact vs professional mirrorless)
