Amongst others I have bought recently this arrived yesterday
I have some more to add when they arrive although maybe they should be posted in the 'this is what happens when I drink to much and am bidding on ebay at 2 in the morning' section

I didn't realise Sony made film cameras
To be fair Darren threw a spanner in the works with his talk of lighting gear but we'll let him off because he's going to use it to light his film work

Yup
Actually, it's just a trigger to close the aperture and fire the shutter at the same time - there should be a remote cable from the handle up to the shutter release. Lets you use the lens on a manual camera... there's also am aperture lock as well to let you close the aperture to a setting and use the camera shutter release instead.

OK, so it may be a little tatty and weigh a bit more than a small car but I'm liking it already. I'll try a run a film through it this week and give it the Tesco treatment, just to make sure it works. I already know the lightmeter's not working I think the cell is kaput (or whatever the Russian for kaput is сломано apparently ) is this fixable, is it worth fixing?

Hi Andy, what speed was it showing? You do know that the speed will not change from 80 (or is it 8?) until you wind on one or two?
Hope this helps.

From my dad's attic ...
Gorgeous camera. The Fujica's are the best M42 cameras in my opinion.
Just starting out film photography, I bought these two recently
Another Praktica MTL 5B here
(came with 2 lenses, Pentacon Auto 1.8/50 & Pentacon Auto 1.8/50 MC)
Nikon FM10 (came in its original case which was a nice suprise, Only came with the stock Nikkor 35-70mm lens but i'll be buying a 50mm soon)
Already got my eye on a few more

Just received a T90 with a 50 and a 28 and the 300TL. Ditched a Sony Alpha setup in favour of a film SLR. Had a T90 many years ago so didn't really look at anything else. I still have a Ricoh GX100 for digi snaps.

Postman just brought a very tidy example of the original breechlock FD 135mm 1:3.5 S.C. lens, complete with both the original lens-caps, BT-55 Hood and the dedicated Canon leather tube-case. Lovely tidy lens, real portrait special I reckon (which is a bit of a problem as I don't really DO people photo's) but i'll take it out for a walk soon and see if it's a bit more versatile.
I joined the Canon clan recently, Nikon glass trading just got too crazy. A 35mm 1.4 with minimal desciption went for close on 300 quid via the Bay. FDs are still showing sane prices so I've been making hay. A little too much use of green paint compared to Nikon but I'll live with it.

Just picked up a Canon EOS 600 body for all of £6.23, so might try and run a film through it tomorrow. Seems to be working fine, that is after I found instructions online for it.
I will use it for my Rollie IR film as I h`ve found out my EOS3 will fog it due to te frame counter.

Image quality is not all it's cracked up to be though - looks a bit murky to me...

Have you made a cappacino in that there lens?
Anyway here's my new toy(s). I bought an F3 from Real Cameras last week but when I got it home the shutter speed dial didn't work so on thursday I took it back. Well they could not have been more helpful, immediately found another one (a £20 more expensive one) and swapped over the eyepiece from the broken one. Also knocked a tenner of the E series 50mm lens I bought and threw in a roll of film for my inconvenience. Top shop and I will be going back.
So far I'm really pleased with it, lovely piece of kit.

That looks like the mother of all fungus on that lens

Nice lens and I have one too, IMO in comparison with my Vivitar and Hexanon and Pentax 135mms, gives better results...not by any scientific tests, but just after seeing my shots over time.

Finally! As a collector of Konicas, it is kind of rather important to get an example of the first one (well, the first rangefinder - I am still chasing a Pearlette ). Today I have at last managed to get one...
Konishiroku Konica (First Model) 1948 model Sn.11046 with 50mm f3.5 Konishiroku Hexar in Konirapid Shutter
Arthur
PS - also on the way - another Konica C35 (AF this time), Zorki 1 (replaces the one I have with knackered curtains, comes with 50 and 110mm lenses), Kiev-4, Super Westomat. Arrived today a couple of FX-D bodies and a KR-10s. I am dead when Mrs A gets home... :nono:

Bought this Nikon F80 and grip the other week. I wanted one a few years back, but with a grip you'd struggle to get them for less than £350. This cost £40 on Ebay. I've had the 28-80 kit lens kicking around for years, as it was the kit lens for my old D70, and has seen very little use.
Used a a roll of cheapo Kodak 200 in the back yard and got it developed at Tesco, everything seems to work OK so far. It's certainly smaller and lighter than my F100 and D700, so it'll be great for taking places where I need something more discreet, or less valuable!
