So many excellent camera , nice to see them ! I got also a Cosina Dave as lens donor. Did you ever try out ?

It's not had a film through it yet, but everything works as it should. Speeds are good and the metering seems ok. I'll shortly be getting some B&W films to run through the various 35mm cameras for some proper tests. Actually, I'm quite looking forward to using the Nikon-fit 19mm Vivitar on the Singlex and see some proper wide-angle action again.

The Cosina Hi-Lite and the EXA 1b are both very cool cameras, great to see them here! Very Happy

And of course, all the SLR's are great to see... Very Happy

My collection is far from done. I will finish collecting the Fujica line and I may start adding some Olympus OM's and a few more Penatx cameras to my collection. I may even add to my Chinon camera collection.

Here's my remaing 35mm gear:

Mamiya CWP 1964



Sears/Mamiya TLS 1974



Chinon CE-4s 1980



Chinon CM-4s 1981



Pentax Spotmatic II 1971

Never seen also Shocked I have a Pentax MX that is super small also, might be too small. How about 6x7 not too big ? I am perfectly happy with 645.

Here is my K200d with a Auto-Tak 35mm f3.5 and a Super Tak 35mm f3.5. Both have the same optical formula but the auto tak is smaller.






K20d next to the MZ-3 film body.

The 110 film is getting hard to find for the Auto 110. I order it from Blue Moon in Oregon. They develop 110 and Dewayne's in Kansas also develop it. You get used to the 6x7. It also has mirror lock up if needed. I have a waist level finder for the 6x7 as well.

The lens on that 110 was the longest one Pentax made for the 110 and was the nicest as far as build goes. It is built a lot like a ltd.


Edit: All of the above bodies are in good working order except the Mamiya NC1000. I also have a nice Praktiflex that the winder/shutter seems to be stuck on.

Pardon the crude photoshop, I originally shot and mailed this for my insurance company Embarassed



Top shelf favorites are the Zeiss medium format folders, shooting with them is what is back to the essence of photography.

Lower shelf also has workhorses but another favorite hiding: F100 and Zeiss ZF 85/1.4 is a combination I like to take out when I don't need to think about how to pay next months bills.

I love seeing all this gear,some of these cameras are on my wish list. That 1958 Pentax K that Blue posted literally made my mouth water, amoebahydra SV was no slouch either ... Smile

I have some new used cameras on the way, I'll post them as soon as they arrive.

Yes, great thread!

Did you know that this concave element was a result of a bet? The designer was betting that he was able to design such a lens, he won and actually made one of the best lenses ever calculated.

"HE" is Dr Albrecht W. Tronnier and I personally know his son, who sent me some of his fathers original hand sketches.



He also designed (amongst other famous designs) the famous Super-Farrand 0.87/76mm lens http://www.macrolenses.de/ml_detail_sl.php?ObjektiveNr=317
