 |
|
Trying to find OEM extension tubes for my Kowa has been impossible on
ebay (at least ebay this side of the pond). So today I ordered a closeup
lens set in 67mm (1,2,4, and 10) as I want to take some flower shots
this spring. If I have anything worth posting, I will. |

I didn't know you had a Kowa! Wow, a dream machine, at least to me. I've seen images from the Kowa from "another Bill" from the camera club. Stunning camera, just a magnificent piece of mechanized metal and glass!

Larry, I think you can console yourself with the Rollei/Planar combo
you have! 
Hacksaw just got a Kowa, been curious to see how he likes his...

Oh yes, the Rollei is a definite piece of gear that consoles me. 
Which model Kowa are you using?

It's the Kowa "Hannibal Twin-8"* model...no, just the Kowa Six, no
removable filmback, but can handle 120/220 film.
*What movie is this from? |
