Camera Check: Nikon FG-20

Another day, another camera check! This one isn't as throwback as the Polaroid 440, but just as cool. Check out that Nikon leather case! It has been used but not abused.
Nikon FG-20, its a film camera with a 50mm lens! Honestly this older glass looked cleaner/clearer than the 50mm I'm currently using. 
Leather grips
Low profile with that Sharp strap
Such a beauty! 

They currently don't sell the FG-20 anymore but they do sell something similar, <this> bad boy! The Nikon FM10 is a very similar looking camera, but for some reason I like how the FG-20 looks!

Camera Check: Polaroid 440

One of my friends has a really throwback camera ... literally. Check out this rugged leather case.
The plastic case cover protects the lens and just pulls out. The viewfinder pops up. Crazy innovative design Polaroid.
Can you say throwback?
The shutter is a bit different. The best I can describe it is double action. 7/8 press to click and get ready, last 1/8 click to actuate the shutter. 
There are two view finders on this camera. The obvious one in the center and the circular one on the left. You use the large one to compose the shot, the smaller one to focus. It's pretty fun.
External Flash
So this is the bulbs for the flash
It has 4 separate light bulbs which you can rotate when one burns out.
