I visited them today and saved a fortune with the 10% off. Away from home and having to tap in character by character so no elaboration yet.
Looks a bit small for you, where do you put the dark slide and where’s the dark cloth?With the help of @MatBin and a German camera shop with a hand in that online auction site, I have a new toy! I bought it to replace the 645 super which should be up for sale soon, and to try a direction I want to go in on top of landscapes on the LF. Can't wait to use it! Thanks again, Matt!

At least you won’t need to leave the house to shoot now with that zoom on [emoji1303]
That’s good to hear.No no, not at all. I'm likely to keep shooting LF for landscapes for as long as the materials are made to do so; I absolutely love it still. The change is that I've decided not to carry the 645 system in the same bag, so I've downsized the main pack to lowepro Whistler for carrying just the LF gear (camera, 5 lenses, light meter, DDS's, loupe, filters). Conveniently, and maybe an inkling of 'by design', the 645 system will be used for things, and in such weather conditions, that the LF can't realistically be used anyway, so it's now a case of really just deciding what I want to shoot and grabbing that camera bag
Who knows, maybe now I'll shoot more than just a few frames per millennia!
Think I have a dead OM707 in my morgue. I'll have a rummage this weekend and see if my memory is reliable. If it has the bit you are welcome to it.My latest buy arrived today, an Olympus OM707 with 50mm f1.8 AF for £1 from eBay. The camera is missing the battery cover but the lens is in great optical condition. It has some marks around the front of the barrel but works great on my OM101.
I will keep an eye out for a replacement battery cover for the OM707 though.
That's great news, thanks. It looks like it's had the handgrip on it, which might explain why it's missing.Think I have a dead OM707 in my morgue. I'll have a rummage this weekend and see if my memory is reliable. If it has the bit you are welcome to it.
My goodness Steve, I am definitely a Pentax fan but that thing looks uglier than Brian's T70/90 whatever!Today I visited the flea market and came back with a Pentax SFXn body for £20. I also got a Sony DT 18-70mm f3.5-5.6 for £6.99 from Tyne Bargains.
I have a few KA and KAF lenses around but this Miranda one that I got with a Samsung NX11 was closest to hand.View attachment 118597
Yes it's definitely been hit with the ugly stick. At least the T90 has curves, I think it was influenced by Darth Vader.My goodness Steve, I am definitely a Pentax fan but that thing looks uglier than Brian's T70/90 whatever!
and just to make your morning!!!!

and to really add a nsfw and to make the Pentax SFXn body feel at home-let me present the unholy trinity View attachment 118637

its the rubbish low light pic I took-followed by raising the shadows to compensate, the iso was 25600The Chinon CP-7m, that I have, has similarities to Pentax and T70:-

H'mm the T70 looks sand blasted as mine looks shiny
ive had 6 (I think!) t90s now. if they were 100% reliable the price would be so high, they really are great cameras. ive only had one bad one tbh, but I keep going though the "a don't need this many cameras" madness I think the thing with the t70 is it just works, and they are cheap to buy, and I don't care to much if it gets knocked about, but tbh if it dies I don't think I would get anotheryou know, I don't mind the T90's appearance - it's such a good indication of where Canon could see themselves going with the next generation pro AF lens stuff.
I've tried a couple of times to get a reliable one, but been thwarted by electrical gremlins on one of them (the dying LCD's) and by a bad re-assembly on another (the previous owner had the camera in bits to free off the sticking shutter, and had managed to stuff up the lens mount somehow - to the extent that the lens and mount wobbled by nearly 1mm - not the best aid to precision focussing) - both got sent back for refunds. One day i'll drop on a working example I guess, just for the sake of owning "the missing link". Thing is, my A-1 is pretty much capable of all the "set and forget" stuff that the T90 can do - with the exception of some of the fancier coupled flash stuff, so there's no urgency - and - if I want bomb-proof reliabilty and "must get the shot" on film, then I've got the EOS-3 anyway. So, it's more from a "complete-ist" angle than a real desire for a solution camera - but it doesn't stop me thinking about buying one occasionally.
The T50 and T70's though... just... No!
I agree with the p30t is a real dark horse, its light and fits the hand so well-but don't tell anyone or the price will go upI’ve got a Pentax P30T and quite like the styling - especially how the controls are set flush into the body. It’s very compact and the ergonomics are great thanks to the protruding grip.

I was defending the T90. It's the only T series Canon I own. I bought it at the same time as my Mamiya C220, £50 for the pair from a charity shop. The Mamiya was boxed and the T90 had a Canon 35mm f3.5 SC on it.you know, I don't mind the T90's appearance - it's such a good indication of where Canon could see themselves going with the next generation pro AF lens stuff.

I read that they are very hard to come by because of that reason. I bought the camera for the lens and it only cost £1, £5 if you include p&p. If I ever come across a battery cover, that's a bonus.Sorry to raise your hopes. We are now BOTH looking for a working P100 or P300 power grip. It is the P100 grip on my OM707 that is faulty, lots of battery corrosion, missing spring in battery compartment and leaked into shutter button electronics.
I have both, don't forget Nikon and Minolta, the F50, F401, F601, F801 and most of the early Minolta AF either had big bulging grips or very angular ones.I think there was a 'Style' going on in the 80s - take a look at an OM101(motor drive and power focus 1988) and OM707 (motor drive and Autofocus 1986) -

You remember I've still got your other OM4-Ti, right?OM4 Ti, pneumatic shutter, Lowepro 200, Bromaloid book. Not a lot really...
