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

The bet was actually about the placement of the field flattener and Dr Tronnier claimed that he could place it as a first lens element. Later designers took up his idea, so if you have a look at the Zeiss (Hasselblad) UV Sonnar 4.3/105mm for NASA, you can easily see how his idea has manifested in the heads of lens designers!

I think Tronnier also designed the Schneider Angulon. Speaking of Pentax, here is mine:

Just thought i would let you know there is a Super-Farrand 0.87/76mm on eBay at the moment, it looks like it needs a lot of love, but it is very cheap.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Large-Super-Farron-Lens-f-87-76mm-Farrand-Lense_W0QQitemZ230378508098QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCamera_Lenses?hash=item35a3a10f42&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

I assume it would be a fairly collectible lens?

Not to mention, the "Post-Gaussian" complex designs of some of the newest and sharpest ever Leica lenses!

According to Albrecht Tronnier jr., son of A.W. Tronnier, the design of the 50/1.8 - on my favorite "M42 adapted" camera here -



- was initiated by a talk between Tronnier and his good friend Dr. Back, jewish parentage, emigrated out of Nazi Vienna to the US, designer of many famous lenses incl. the ZOOMAR - which has a FLAT front element... Back asked: Well, every 50mm lens in the world needs to start with a convex front element, right? Tronnier: No. The next lens I calculate will have a concave one!

Believe it or not - but it's an excellent lens even by today's standards!
