Which "beauties" do you have?

I'm not going to sell it, (at least not until I've run a few films through it) I always use the full picture mode when using APS as if I want to cut a picture down once I've finished developing it, I can do it myself.
 
I don't mean to say you would sell it. I'm just comparing with my personal "taste" about these cameras :)

You are right, we could use the full format but even using it it is smaller than the 35mm. I'm not looking for great pictures and 100% crops so it would be cool to relax, point and shoot.
 
I forgot to add to my list the Carl Zeiss Tessar T* 200mm f/3.5.

Remembered that now because I got another one... So I have 2 lol
 
Oh - do lenses count... I do have another little Pen EE-S, the Rollei SL35E and a very nice little SL400R came yesterday :D
 
Here is my modest list.

Nikon FG
Nikon F601
Minolta XE-1
Kodak Retina Reflex III (x2)
Pentax Spotmatic
Pentax SP500
Pentax s1a
Zenit E (x2)
Argus C3
Voigtlander Vitomatic
Voigtlander Vito B
Kodak Retinette 1B
Yashica J
Olympus XA
Olympus XA4
Zeiss Ikon Nettar 6x6
Zeiss Ikon Nettar 6x9
Ansco Speedex Super R
Mamiya RB67
Rolleicord V
Bronica ETRS
Home made 5x4 camera
Polaroid 110A converted to 120 roll film
Under construction - A wide angle panoramic (see link in my signature line)

I'm sure I have missed some out.

On top of that I have inherited my father's collection of around thirty which is a much better collection than mine and includes 2 x Nikon F, 4 x Mamiya TLR and a Rolleiflex.

Steve.
 
We allways miss something :p

Lenses count. Without them we have to do pinhole... hehe

With this post I think I can use the Marketplace now lolol
 
Maybe not yet hehe. I'd like to sell some gear but I have to wait...
 
Yup - me too. I don't mind the wait though as I appreciate the necessity. Hard though sometimes!
 
That's cool. I like this policy of waiting for the right time to could sell something. It avoids scam sellers and non trustable people.

Meanwhile I'll be using my gear :D
 
One local shop is selling the Canon 7 + Canon 50mm f/0.95!!

I'm negotiating it and maybe I can afford it (we'll see...)

That's an amazing lens and I'd love to get a slice of history in my collection!
 
I took pictures of the Mamiyas today and the Nikkormat FT2 The FT2 could do with a seal kit fitting as the seals are getting a little squidgy, I'm sure I've seen them for sale on ebay though.

They look nice, I still dream of a C3 one day.

Arthur

PS - they sell irons on Ebay too :D

If you are happy cutting it to size yourself, I have some 1mm thick black self adhesive foam.

If you want some, send me your address by P.M.


Steve.
 
I'm not a collector, but I do have an F2 and an FM, with some lenses. There's nothing else I particularly want. A Leica rangefinder is appealing, but I doubt if I would buy one even if I had the money. For me, it would just be an indulgence.
 
We all need an indulgence Martyn... :D
 
Wow there are some film gear junkies hiding in this thread!

My relativly small list...

Mamiya C330
80mm F2.8

Canon Ae-1
50mm f1.8 (going to upgrade to a 1.4 as its in two pieces at the moment)

Afga Billy

Canon EOS 500

and a fridge full of film.
 
Today arrived the Leica Motor-Drive. The camera becomes even more beautiful with it.

I'll post some pictures soon.

The little Comets are great, technically all the same, in detail all different. I am getting out of the Tarons right now - need to concentrate on taking pictures so need more pennies! See them soon on an Ebay screen near you!

interesting, I have only 5 cameras and I still think that it's more than I need :))
 
Pah - same thing. Need, want and get - those are different :D
 
One of my little beauties. A small camera with a great history, which has the stamp of Zeiss, Rollei and Voigtlander - the 3 german greats ( arguably Voigtlander was a Swiss brand, at least to begin with). The lens is really a Tessar. With a hood that extends in and out - reminder of the CZJ lens. From the early 70s, AFAIK

VF1011.jpg




And the one which started the small camera revolution. An engineering marvel, with one of the greatest lens - a Tessar. The lens folds into the body; something no other camera has achieved since. From the late 60s, AFAIK

And a Japanese beauty; most think its a great little camera with a great Zuiko lens

Oh dear. I have a Nikon 601 and a bag of lenses. Plus an MPP 5 x 4.

The best photographs I ever took were in the 70s and early 80s on an Olympus OM1 that became utterly instinctive to use. The camera I enjoyed almost as much was a Nikon F without a metered head which taught me a good deal about guessing exposure to half a stop.
But the camera that took my most valuable images was my first, a Chinon SLR from Dixons bought my dear old mum that recorded the changing scene and people round where I used to live, an area that no longer exists. Although I took a lot of shots, learnt how to process film and set up a darkroom in my attic bedroom, I should have taken many more. If only we knew how quickly things were changing back then.
 
Although I've never had gear envy I once worked with a chap who had a shed load of Nikon rangefinders, multiple bodies and every lens they ever made including some real exotica.
That gave me a green twinge.
 
Great, this is like the 'real' AA :naughty:

My weakness for some reason was 50mm Pentax fit lenses.

I've got:

Pentax SMC-A 50mm f2
Pentax SMC-A 50mm f1.7
Pentax SMC-M 50mm f1.7
Asahi Takuma 55mm f1.8
Zeiss Electric Pancolar 50mm f1.8

:help:
 
Clearly I was wrong; the chinon was made later. Seems like an interesting camera; shame its a zone focus as well.
