I recently sold a point-and-shoot 35mm film camera on eBay to someone named Terry Richardson in New York City. I asked (via email) whether this was *the* <\/span>Terry Richardson<\/a>–the fashion photographer who famously <\/span>uses compact “point-and-shoot” 35mm cameras to do his high-paying fashion photography<\/a>…? Well, I didn’t get an answer. <\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, this leads me even more to believe it’s probably him…(!)
\n(Update: He did eventually email me back. His message: “Hi,yes its me…love that camera its awesome for street shots..and fits in my pocket better then the yashica. keep on clicking…thanks Terry”<\/span>)<\/p>\n

Terry Richardson is renowned for shooting with a compact 35mm film camera that is no longer manufactured: the Yashica T5\/T4 Super. As a result, Yashica T5\/T4 Supers now sell for more used than they did new in the 1990s!<\/p>\n

It would make sense that he would have to buy more used Yashica T5s\/T4s on eBay when they wear out because they’re no longer made–or even, probably, serviced–by Yashica. (Does Yashica even still exist as a company?)<\/p>\n

But that is not what he bought from me.<\/p>\n

Terry Richardson–this one in New York City–bought a compact, point-and-shoot camera from me that was not<\/strong> made by Yashica. It was another relatively famous point-and-shoot 35mm film camera that was manufactured around the same time as the T5\/T4 Super.<\/p>\n

Now I’m inclined to keep it a secret so that the price on this gem doesn’t get as inflated as it’s become on the Yashica T5s\/T4s. However, if someone guesses it, I’ll come clean and tell you what it was.<\/p>\n

Note: anyone who posts a “Who Cares!” comment has become too jaded for their own good…;-).<\/p>\n
