I'm staying at my cousins house in Denver, and we were talking about camera's and he said: I've got something lying in the basemant, take a look at it, maybe you'll like it. So, not expecting much, took a look at the camera:

BOOOM! Mamiya M645 1000S. What a beauty. With winder as well! Now I've got two camera's to shoot medium format on (old 50's Rolleiflex copy and this). Happy, happy, happy. It's substantially heavier than my TLR, but can't wait to go shooting with it! The battery is empty, so I need to buy a new one (weird old type), can't wait till it arrives!
He doesn't use it (never has, it was a gift from someone) and gave it to me, yeaaaaah!

Also: comes in a very nice Lowepro bag. The lens is a 55mm f/2.8 and he also has a 150mm f/3.5 (both Mamiya-Sekor). Stoked, soked, STOKED!

Since I'm starting photo school in the fall and will be shooting all of my stuff for school exclusively on BW film, my grandpa sent me his EOS-1v. Didn't tell me either, just told me he found an old film body he didn't need anymore and sent it my way. I opened the case and lost it when I saw that it was inside!
