I have a Connon T-70 with a 200x lense and a 2x multiplier. I put on a tripod to use for a spotting scope. When not shooting it sits on my mantel with an old accordion Polaroid Highlander, my first hand held RCA DVD recorder, and my first Digital ViviCam. Nope never throw anything away. Ha Ha

The spelling in your description above is getting closer to a phrase I like to use.

"Canon's (read 'cannons') are only good for make noises and leaving rubble strewn around."

That said, your use of it as a spotting scope is pretty spot on outstanding, especially with that lens/extender.

Ha, never calmed I could spell or put a sentence together correctly, but I try to get the point across. Thanks for pointing out my errors, I really do not mind.

Well guess what, you aren't alone in the spelling and composure of sentences.

(Or, should that be "composition" of sentences?)

So I ended up buying the Yashica last year from Hangfire. I suspected it would need some work and it proved to be correct. I replaced the light seals and a little piece politely known as the "pad of death" that affects how the camera resets and exposes. Finally got around to putting a test roll through it.

Pretty good little camera!

Black and white film photography is cool. Here is one of my favorite taken with an old Nikon FM3.

Yes, black and white is cool. However, I had a young man claim to me that black and white was the ONLY way to go. A few months later, I was asked to do a class for the kids at church that were interested in photography. So, I made up a PowerPoint presentation to show them tips on photography, and in that presentation, I included a black and white of a boat docked at a marina. This young man chimed in and said that the B&W was the best photograph of all that we had seen. (It was near the end of the presentation.) Then, I showed them the last picture which was of the same boat but in color, and the color showed that the boat was on fire, but the color couldn't be seen. I then said that sometimes B&W isn't the best, especially if it takes away the "full picture."

I remember in Vietnam aI had a 35mm camera that I'd bought in the BX and this guy shows me photos he took with his Kodak. No difference, the Kodak had very shaep pictures.
