Yashica Electro-35 GSN</p>

<p>Oooh shiney :)</p>

 

<p>Great to see all of these, I knew that chrome would stir you all up! Richard, what a great take on an Easter Egg hunt, must suggest that to my wife.<br>

Love the Konicas too, big and heavy, and Rick..that M3 and case is just gorgeous!<br>

The set of Canon chrome nose lenses is a nice touch too.</p>

<p>Thanks Tony, I've got a few more, but we'd be venturing into the 1930s and 40s Chrome Era ;)</p>

<p>Here's another contribution fitting the description!</p><div></div>

<p>Great looking Contessa Chuck, they are a really fine picture taker.</p>

<p>I don't see any Miranda's so here is one of mine.</p>

<p>Great subject matter for this post and pictures from everyone.</p>

<p> </p><div></div>

<p>Thanks for the Miranda Marc, I have one on the way from the US. What lens do you have on there?</p>

<p>Can't believe no Exaktas, so here is one.</p><div></div>

<p>Tony,</p>

<p>It is a Soligor 28mm f/2.8. It cost me $1 plus shipping. I was the only bidder.</p>

<p>I don't know why I kept the lens cap on.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Amazing Marc, that is a fine lens. My new (old) Miranda will be here next week, I do have a few lenses but the current camera has issues with the mirror return.</p>

<p>Here's one you don't see everyday. It's an Ansco Titan. I need to get around to fixing the bellows on this one.</p><div></div>

<p>Did you say chrome? I think this is a real pretty camera. The shutter is sticking and I don't like rangefinders enough to get a CLA. <br>

I did manage to get a few worse than banal photos out of it one hot day when the lube on the shutter leaves was less viscous. </p>

<p>See Louis Meluso's great post with more photos and details on this camera. <a href="/classic-cameras-forum/00TLFY">http://www.photo.net/classic-cameras-forum/00TLFY</a></p><div></div>

<p>I forgot to say that Louis caused me to buy it after his May 2009 post.<br>

I really should get Clarence Gass to do a CLA before he retires.</p>

<p>Yes Tim,that was a great post from Louis, and the Aires is a top class RF, well worth getting fixed because I think this early Japanese RF is only just getting the recognition it deserves. The later Aires SLR's sullied their reputation, but these remain class act.</p>

<p>Better keep this thread going with a Voigtlander.</p><div></div>

<p>Quite some chrome and satin here, too... Zeiss Super Ikonta BX (533/16) and Agfa Automatic 66.</p><div></div>

<p>Rick, wonderful still life photography.</p>

<p>Nice pair of folders Bonsignore, love that Super Ikonta.</p>

<p>Thank you Tony - I like my Super Ikontas, too (I also have a III- 531/16 and a A - 531) but the BX is my favourite.</p>

<p>Glad to see Gene posted a Kodak Retina Reflex IV! I can't help but post up a III.<br>

<p>They weren't chrome they were all black, but i nominate the Canon EF, and the F1.</p>

<p>Jason, cool brochure and the chrome on the later RR's was the shiniest of all the chrome age cameras. Q.G, there is nothing that beats those older satin chrome Zeiss lenses for the Hasselblad...these were indeed Zeiss's finest moment.<br>

I can see a 150, 250, 50 and an 80 on the camera...what others do you have there?</p>

Tony,<br>80 mm Planar on the 1958 camera, then from left to right, 150 mm Sonnar, the 250 mm Sonnar behind the 120 mm Special-Planar, and two Distagons bringing up the rear, with the 50 mm hiding behind the 60 mm.

<p>How about a couple Yashicas? In front is a TL-E with the 75-230mm f/4.5 Auto-Yashinon zoom (so big and heavy you could use it as a weapon if you weren't taking pictures with it). Second is my trusty TL-Electro with the 50mm f/1.9 Yashinon.</p>
