Alpha 1-B
Camera: Crown Graphic + 405 back
Film: FP-3000B
Settings: 1/5th second, f/16
Yet another Alpha - my second, so to keep track I'll refer to this one as "Alpha 1-B". This one was originally going to be sent to Mint for SLR-670m conversion, however since it turns out they DON'T return the actual camera you send them: that plan has changed, and it will instead remain unmolested.
DOB: November 9, 1976, A-shift. Previously owned by artist Mike Beyer: in an awesome twist, this is the first SX-70 - or any secondhand camera for that matter - where I've actually seen flicks taken by its previous owner.
This camera has a ton of miles on it, but still works and looks great. Viewfinder cap needs to be replaced sometime, though - one of the rails for the concave mirror to slide along inside is broken. I just have to be careful about opening and closing it is all.
