zoom My grandfather’s camera. My mom went by the house today and got it for me after getting my hopes up and saying he and my uncle had a slew of them hanging around.  Since no one lives in the house anymore and they’re just sitting there, I asked for them.  I was afraid it wasn’t going to be what I pictured in my mind since I’d never seen it before but now that I have it, I’m absolutely ecstatic that it is in my possession.  I mean, I don’t own it.  It is still my grandfather’s camera but hopefully he’ll allow me to have it after its been fixed up.  According to my mom, it was dropped or accidentally submerged in water and needs to be cleaned.  He never got around to doing it and I haven’t the slightest idea how to so I’ll either learn and give it back so it can be handled.  For now though, I’m going to learn whatever I can about it so that I can start using it.
