Beginner question here: My grandfather gave me both of his cameras, because he’s suffering from Macular degeneration and can’t use them anymore. One of his Cameras is the EOS IX which works with the discontinued APS-films. Is there any way to still use this camera? Or will just be a (relatively) pretty paperweight?
The other camera is a Canon A-1 in a very good condition, so I think i have a decent foundation to start a new hobby.
Not really possible. Besides APS film being smaller, the sprockets are spaced differently, the film has a magnetic strip and the cartridges are basically unworkable without the right equipment. It’s a dead format…
