    Those were some very interesting cameras. The Nikon FA was probably the most advanced camera of its era. Well worth picking up if operating and if a good price.

      Yeah there were some cool ones! :) We also went back for the yellow polaroid Impulse but it had been sold by then.

    Interesting market, although sometimes with much too high prices for untested gear.

      The prices were definitely up there, but on the other hand there were a lot of cameras to be found. :)

      Haha yeah it’s quite the event. I read they had 9600 visitors that day. 🙂

    Aah I love this place! I've been coming here the past few years, and found so many gems. No time this year sadly, so thanks for still making me feel as if I was there!

    The slides are stereo pairs so now you need to look for a viewer at the next flea market.

    I found some nice Vinyl LP’s that where very reasonably priced at a French flea market

    Excelente video . Adorei os diapositivos , pois como faço ampliações são para mim um pedaço de historia que contam a vida de alguém.

    13:15 The camera has a roll of film in it, I think it says Fujifilm Superia. Are you going to get it developed?

    • @elsvanopstal
      @elsvanopstal  5 місяців тому +2

      Yes it’s superia indeed! We will finish the roll and develop it. The other camera also had an old roll of kodak gold in it. 🙂

    Nice find. The flea markets by me in the states never have good stuff just garbage. The Thrift stores have better stuff such as cameras. I used to help promote a monthly camera show but the owners died and The pandemic hit . I was suposed to revive it with the owners grandson but never heard back from him.

    Dre✨amy Elza and swe🍭et as always 😊.
    I also like going to flea markets, but the prices are sky high. I buy cam📷eras and the rest on my Poli🇵🇱sh portals: Allegro and OLX. I avoid eBay🥺

    • @elsvanopstal
      @elsvanopstal  5 місяців тому +1

      I’ve heard of Allegro but never tried it. Sometimes you can get good deals on smaller flea markets here in France, but you have to be lucky. 🙂

      I'm glad you bought this nice 📷 Zenit👏. It looked very nice. 20 euros is no money.
      My first analogue was Zenit TTL.
      Antique fairs are atmospheric and there is always a chance to buy something good.
      BTW.
      In high school, I had to study French for a year. This was Dante's hell. Latin and English were added. I only remember how to say in French - my name is Blaise (my name).
      See next your film 🌹
