Vincent Peri Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Thanks, James. Fortunately, it looks like we'll only get wind gusts up to 40 mph as things stand now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddlefye Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Pentax LX just finished a roll of Ektar 100 and is now loaded with PanF that I'm going to try shooting at ISO 25 (with appropriate changes to development) to see how that works in terms of dealing with contrast. I've also a roll of HP5 in the Canon 7 currently on the trot. Not perhaps a classic manual camera, but a classic in its own right, the Nikon D3 and 24-70 f2.8 will no doubt get a little love as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m42dave Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hope to take out this Miranda Auto Sensorex EE, which I picked up this summer at an antique mall in exchange for some non-photographic items. I don't typically look in antique stores or pawn shops for cameras, as prices can be on the high side, but interesting pieces do turn up on occasion, and the owners are sometimes willing to take offers or do trades. This camera was in great cosmetic shape but I had to fix a few issues such as a loose shutter speed dial, jumpy meter, and stuck self-timer, as well as the usual door seals and mirror foam. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Another old favourite currently in use, the Pentax Super A . Somewhat surprisingly, the 35-70mm SMC Pentax-A f/4 lens is one of the better short zooms in my collection. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Bowes Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 US Mail delivered my order of EDU films, so I have loaded a 136-36 roll of 100asa into the Fed-2 and will be off to the Farmers Market tomorrow. Aloha, Bill 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels - NHSN Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 My first Nikon lens was the 35mm F2.8 AiS purchased in the early 80's. Years later I bought the two previous versions; Nikkor-S Auto 35/2.8 and the <New>Nikkor 35/2.8 just to explore the differences, (and because they were cheap). Therefore, when I noticed this Nikkor 35mm F2.0 Non-Ai in the window of a local camera store, it took a bit of inner dialogue to convince myself that I needed a fourth 35mm Nikkor. Outer barrel was a bit worn and the price reflected that, as did the fact that it was not Ai'd. Glass was pristine though, and when I came home I found a source of a NOS Nikon Ai conversion kit for this lens. This weekend I will exercise it with a roll of Ilford XP2. I don't bother with C41 but develop XP2 in regular BW chemicals (HC110) and they come out nice. Until I get the AI ring mounted, I will use the lens on my Nikkormat EL. 5 Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 For this weekend my SRT 101 fitted with MD Celtic 28mm f 2.8. This lens was a Christmas gift from my parents to me in 1978. Still works like new. Loaded with Kentmere 100. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cary_chin1 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 This is my family's SRT-101, it has been used by three generations of my family. Purchased by my father in 1968, my sister used it in high school as a yearbook photographer and by my nephew and niece for a photography class. I just got it back last year and will be sending it to John Tillerington for a CLA. Attached to the body is a semi-rare 100mm f3.5 Rokkor.

Mike Gammill Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 I have the same lens. A good performer and very compact. I also have the Auto-Rokkor version that I use with my SR-3. Of course the Auto-Rokkor is usable in stop down metering mode on SRT and later. I'd love to find the 100mm f 2 at some point. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 When I bought my first SLR (Minolta SRT 201 in spring of 1978) I never thought I'd need a wide angle lens. I thought the 50 mm and the 85-210 Tamron zoom would meet all my needs. A camping trip to Vicksburg with one of my friends changed my mind. I quickly found I couldn't back up enough to include all the buildings downtown that I wanted. So upon my return I borrowed 28 and 35 lenses from the family camera shop and decided the 28 was what I wanted. My dad noticed I borrowed the 28 the most so that was my Christmas gift that year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cary_chin1 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Our family lenses consisted of 28mm f2.5, 50mm f1.4 and 135mm f2.8 MC Rokkor lenses. Very nice to see people posting photos of their Minolta's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels - NHSN Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 This late Rolleiflex T from the early 70's was part of the last production of T's (version 4, "white face"). The British Ministry of Defence is said to have ordered 3500 cameras, and Rollei made 4640. The remaining 1140 were sold to the public. At the time the Carl Zeiss Tessar, previously used in the T models, was no longer available to Rollei and since the Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar performed within the specs agreed with BMoD it was used instead. My stash of expired 120 Tri-X was larger than first anticipated so I will burn a roll or two through the Rolleiflex this weekend. 5 Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 A Celtic day I think. Still have film in the SRT 101 with Celtic 28mm f 2.8 MD that I posted a photo of last week. Another Celtic lens that I remember well from the camera shop was the 135mm f 2.8 MD. I picked up a mint condition one a few years back for only 20 USD so I'm taking it out with me today as well. I may put it on another Minolta so I can just switch cameras rather than stop to change lenses. Kentmere 100 in both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
