pics, or it never happened
I've never seen a 645 with bellows
It looks like some kind of prehistoric filter holder actually lol.
I'm pretty sure that's a bellows lens hood which would have slots for filters.

Hey great to see another Fuji owner on TP - even if you don't use it these days. I still love my 3-year-old S3 Pro - it's a great portrait camera but sadly showing it's age a bit compared with the latest generation of Nikons. Play back is really slow and it can't cope with RAW+jpeg, which I'd fine really handy. But ... it feels great in my hands and I love it to bits. Ahhhhhh

No self respecting photographer should be without a bosch jigsaw and an old shelf

All my cameras I have had for more than twenty years, I couldn't find find sufficient reason that made economic sense to replace them , profession photography is about building your bank balance, not your muscles lugging more gear about.
I'm now retired and am happy with my "old" cameras, because I am so familiar with them I can use them without thinking, and it's not about the equipment, it's about results.

Me too, when I was a lad, but I never owned one,the lenses were legendary, and this lens is probably better than any standard lens you own , It's a shame not to use it, as far as I remember the Contarex system had interchangeable backs and was a top pro. camera at the time.Some interesting stuff coming out of the lofts here.
Sorry Steep but the undisputed coolest camera ever just has to be...
God, how I used to dribble over these in the mags when I were a lad!

Still got one of these kicking around somewhere, not used for years:
I sometimes use this, not very interesting though:

Decided to delve into the darkslide....
Paid a visit to Mr Cad in Croydon to pick up this little number - Bronica ETRS and two fistfuls of Ilford Delta 100 and Fuji Reala 100. Still getting to grips with all the bits and pieces on the camera and trying to work out how the separate light meter works. Might test it out tomorrow if the weather is good...

The thing is, while you are allhauling out your old film cameras....do you notice just how much lighter they are than modern camerasof the same kind of calibre?
The OM1and OM2 for instance...they were so handy and light and just worked beautifully. I used to use Olympus before they decided to drop their pro support whichis when I swapped over to the yellow and black, waspish lot. Even their old cameras are so much lighter...the FE2 is still with me and has the titanium spark eroded shutter blades. First camera to have a 1/250th flash synch (back in 1981) and a top shutter speed of 1/4000th - pretty hot back then.
