New Camera Day (needs some help)!

On vacation with my wife and I always like to check Facebook Marketplace to see what I can find…I snagged this Canon Canonet QL17 GIII and the Canolite for $120

I’ve been looking for a rangefinder and my last few purchases had some issues.

Well…long story short, the aperture ring is a little sticky. Any advice on how to clean it up or loosen it?

Looking for trails!

Planning to visit with my wife, I am looking for beautiful nature walking trails that would not be a hike… She has no desire to hike, but would enjoy a beautiful walking trail.

Also, looking for slight offloading, gravel roads, dirt roads that we go on a nice drive-through

Thanks!

I do have 100 rolls of expired film. If anyone wanted a trade in addition, I have some C/Y lenses as well.

Federal donuts, permanently closed?

Saw on Lancaster takeout and dining Facebook page that federal donuts is already permanently closed. Does anyone know anything about this?

The source was an employee that worked there, she says in her post that federal donuts told them all to leave and that they were closed permanently because they could not afford the repairs to air-conditioning and plumbing system in that building.

Worth Fixing?

Hey everyone! I received this Leica ii Model D (at least that’s what I assume it is) in a trade a while back. I’ve shot M3, M4 and M5 before so I thought this would be a cool addition.

It doesn’t fire and needs a CLA, lens could probably do with some love but I don’t see any haze or mold.

Is it actually worth fixing? If fixed I imagine that I would shoot it over selling it.

Anyone have one of these that you can share some shots from?

KR1 - Best way to break in?

I grabbed three KR1s on the sale for my kiddos (all under age 10)

What is the best way to break in the stiff straps? They love the bags but hate the straps. My GR1 is 10 years old so it’s been a while…

Please don’t say - just wear it, they can suck it up or anything like that. They are kids…I want to take them on adventures and I’d rather have broken in straps and a happy kid.

Contax AX | Zeiss 50mm f/1.7 | Expired Fuji Superiora 400

I wanted to try out my (new to me) Contax AX. Popped a 30 year old roll of film in and asked the wife to be my model. I was super happy with the results and LOVED the pink hue from the expired film!
