I might go for the sky blue one. ;) http://aki-asahi.com/store/html/sx-70/LightBlue/E/LightBlue.phpAshley Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13596705204541872386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38517993.post-86630795060967669732012-02-17T08:44:15.512-07:002012-02-17T08:44:15.512-07:00wow, you did a fantastic job on reviving that old ...wow, you did a fantastic job on reviving that old camera - now you have a 'new' one that you can use -- it's a beauty!lisahttp://www.thelongwayhomediaries.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38517993.post-82112340538990061842012-02-16T16:25:02.239-07:002012-02-16T16:25:02.239-07:00Using a hair dryer to remove the old skin was the ...Using a hair dryer to remove the old skin was the best advice I ever got. Works like a charm! The crumbly leather of the later SX-70s is a real pain in the a** to remove! I always use a hair dryer now, even for non-fiddly bits. <br /><br />Great post!
