Thanks. Of course it is not new; there are enough spots here and there, so I'm not afraid to take it out Smile

I do want to have it adjusted, even though 1s is indeed 1s on the shutter. But the front part is wobbly (not uncommon in Bessas), I hope this can be adjusted too. Any ideas for a good repairman in the EU?

Trifox can manage to send to Slovakia. My repairman was too slow last time.

I think first try it out, perhaps don't need to adjust at all. Half on my Bessa RF did work immediately fine. Some of them need to adjust RF but shutter was fine all above 1s. None of them has working B.

I will try it out first of course. But I have just checked and both B and T work perfectly. Maybe your examples work too because with B and T, the shutter does not have to be cocked first (it cannot be cocked in those two settings, but B and T definitely do work).

I can't set them to B position.

Just added to the bunch: a minty Super-Takumar 85mm f/1.9 complete with the matching hood, caps and case. I'm a happy camper! Very Happy

My other 85/1.9 is already spoken for, by the way.

I have finally moved my lenses (which were scattered all over the house) to a dedicated cupboard. They are now safe behind glass!

Looking at them now I do not appear to have that many lenses so there's enough room for the 80mm f/1.8 Komura Wink Photos will follow shortly.

how big is the cupboard Rolling Eyes

Not that big Smile

Most accessories and cameras are still in their boxes, so I don't have them in this cupboard. I haven't even found them Laughing

Anyway, here's my little collection of lenses. As you can see there are not that much lenses... Rolling Eyes

Your lenses not get light , due front cap is on, I suggest to remove them and put on cheap used UV filters as front cap and if temperature can be hot , better to store them upside down due in this position grease can go to aperture from helicoid.

Can you tell me why that is better? It will never get hot here though... And not humid either.

If not humid should ok. Fungus like dark ,humid places.Most of the fungus born on those lenses what owner took care as well kept them with both caps.
Here at every photographic shops lenses are stored without caps and upside down. We have hot days and humid too.

But how does light get in there when the lenses are stored upside down, Attila? Wink

Rather complete kit also. But I prefer the design of my 67, I don't like the 645 with this big box Confused The problem of the 6x7 is its weigh Razz

I contemplated about getting the 67 too, but in the end I decided that it doesn't fit my photographic style (outdoor), the 6x7 is more of a tripod/studio camera.

I was hand held fun too till I saws how much more sure to make good images from tripod especially with low ISO films. Film, process , time to make it, quite costly so I try to do maximum as possible to get better result include using tripod or mono-pod at least.
