A Fed-3b...
And I have a Ricoh 500RF (similar to the listed Ricoh 35 ZF).

But where in heaven did these guys get a Mamiya 330C or a Nikon F3 for under $50,-???

Here are links to my Yashica J-7 review by the way (hope I haven't already posted the link and forgot Embarassed )

I guess the most interesting parts is the camereview and the full roll of shots as slideshow. Everything can be found on my collecting page

But I will continue, next will be a roll of the Kodak TMax 100 ASA in the Yashica J-7, and I'm really looking forward to it! Smile

Junk shop or flea market finds, not impossible. Remember the guy who found a lovely Leica for five dollars?

Well, I just had to pull the trigger on this one:

Click here to see on Ebay

22mm wide lens, f11 @ 1/125, sounds like fun to me!

Nice work Jes! Smile


You other guys, I'm a bit confused - did you write one of the reviews or do you have the same cameras? A bit hard to find all amogst the 80, didn't find my own first Embarassed Wink

Mattias, (I guess I'm one of the other guys) I saw this cam in the link you
posted and looked like fun. When I checked out the 12,500+ pic gallery at
flickr, it was a no-brainer, had to try one. There are some true stunners in
that gallery, plus a lot of garbage pics.

Mattias, thanks for the J-7 link! Some familiar Japanese scenes and in one
there's a picture of a Daihatsu pickup newer than the blue one I had, the first
5 years I was over there! Great little vehicle, 550cc engine that sat under
the seat! Loved mine so much that I was considering shipping it back to the
states until I found out how much it would cost to "Americanize" it even with
leaving the steering column on the right hand side...

Thanks again, Cool

Bill
