The other day I noticed a box marked "Antique Camera" at a local house sale.
It was a pristine Canon AE-1.

I'm ready for my walker and respirator.

Seen in the for sale section of my work's intranet:

Give Away Slide Projectors (Hanimex)
Date Entered: 05/05/2009
Detail: Two very old slide projectors with 8 carousels. If you know of
anyone who would make use of this antiquated equipment, please let me
know.

At the first couple of international conferences I spoke at, about
10-12 years ago, I had PowerPoint presentations made into physical
slides at the uni photo lab.  At the conferences these slides were
projected as I spoke.  Obsolete I can understand, but it's interesting
the short space of time someone is willing to regard as 'antiquated'.

My Leica slide projector still gets used, although I must admit to
taking almost all of my colour shots with my M8 since I got it in
2006.
