Almost every nice weekend I go with a friend or three to the local Casbah, the Flea Market. This was the nicest day we've had in months let alone on a weekend and the Casbah was rocking this Saturday afternoon.
I picked up a couple of old SLR cameras today, one Pentax with a nice 50mm f1.7 SMC Takumar-A and a Yashica with a modest Yashinon zoom, both lenses in very good useable shape. I find collectable camera stuff about every third or fourth weekend, no one else seems to be looking for that sort of thing so I get really good deals. My kitchen, shop and wardrobe are largely filled with items I have picked up at the Casbah.
On one end of the Casbah we have the Authentic Mexican Taqueria/Carniceria and on the other there is a Soul Food barbecue grill (which I managed to miss getting a picture of), in between is the oddest collection of stuff.. About half the people you see in the pictures are the dealers I have considered my friends for years and the rest are random shoppers.

(34,582 posts)So far I have a Minolta SRT-202, X-700 with a motor drive, and X-370. So far, the 202 is my favorite. I lusted.for a motor drive camera in high school, but that 202 just has the right heft.
