So you can't find what you want for your old SLR camera….

  • Canon doesn't make a case or flashgun or winder for the AE-1 Program or other cameras of that era.
  • Nobody's got a new case for your Pentax K-1000
  • Where will you get a new winder for an Olympus OM-1?
  • Your Minolta Maxxum 7000 won't work with the flash guns they make now, and nobody has a used Maxxum 2800AF to fit.
  • Hoo-boy! Have you seen the price of a Nikon zoom lens that will couple to your old Nikkormat FTn?

Consider these economical and available alternatives:

Although only a few inches long, this provides the effective magnification of a conventional lens 19" in length! For air shows, auto races, it's unexcelled. Light enough to hand hold if you have a steady hand. Because of its fixed aperture, it requires practice to get the most out of this or any other mirror (catadioptric) lens.
