My little Kodak Signet 35c Rangefinder. This little camera was actually given to me by my friend John. He used it specifically as a prop camera, as when he received it, it was not functional. Heck, the glass was dirty (fungus) and the shutter was stuck.
Well, a little bit of TLC has opened up this camera turning it into a very fun camera, with an exceptionally sharp lens!

Talk about suspense! I spotted what I thought would be a good shot for the theme, but the only camera I had with me was a 1953 model I had only just bought online for $40, and I had no idea whether it worked or not, not to mention if I had bungled the exposure or focus. This is the first roll of film I tried in it. So I've had to wait until I shot through to the end of the roll to see whether the picture came out. I guess it's not too bad.
