Nikon F Photomic T. This was my dad's. I spent many hours with this one when I was a teenager. The serial number dates it as 1967. The meter doesn't work anymore and the batteries (mercury) are an issue. Haven't used it in a long time. I think it still works fine, though. As a manual camera.

Ed, you can buy replacement cell batteries that have no mercury now. Did it for my Canon FTb

Cool I will look into it. LAst time I looked into it a few years ago the voltage on the replacements was not right so the meter would give an off reading. I guess maybe it's changed.

Old cameras need old batteries. Amazingly these old Eveready C-cells still show no signs of leakage or corrosion. "Nine Lives" indeed! They still showed about a 1/4 volt charge the last time I checked them. 
In the background is a Kodak DuaFlex IV and flash that my parents used for years.

A few newish, and many old cameras. All get used - nothing collects dust at my house.

I used to have one of those 50mm 1.4 lenses on my Ftb, it was a great lens that took terrific pictures.

I tried to use a converter for my digital cameras now, but, it looked like back when we used to use Vaseline on our filters to get that soft focus effect, which is cool, if you want that. heheh
