Kent T Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I used the Minolta SRT 201 with the 50/1.7 Rokkor-X and the dent on the side. Finished the roll of FujiColor 200, and shot part of the roll of Kodak ColorPlus 200. Had fun at an adaptive sports event in Lenoir City, Tennessee on Fort Loudon Lake. The Festival Of Friends. Didn't get to Sit-Ski (SI joint very inflamed, CP not playing nice). Did get to ride the Pontoon Boat, and take photos. Had a blast in spite of having to take precautions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthonymarsh Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 IKOFLEX II wonderfully "bloomed" viewing and taking lenses. This filter was on a ROLLEICORD that I bought. I cannot find information about manufacturer or rarity. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I have this nice-looking Vivitar (Kino) 28-85mm f/2.8-3.8 lens attached to the good old Minolta XG-M, just waiting for the clouds to clear and the sun to appear. It's been a week since I got out with a camera and I can feel a dose of cabin fever coming on... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJG Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Contax IIIa w/Zeiss torpedo finder and (new to me) Nikkor 8.5 cm f/2 lens. This is a bit shorter and lighter than the comparable post-war Zeiss Sonnar 85 mm f/2, and feels just right in my hands. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_van_Nooij Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Still got the same roll in the Leica I(a) as last week. Weather this weekend is going to be filled with lots of rain, so probably not much chance to go out and shoot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georg_s1 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I will probably shoot another roll of Agfa APX 100 (the good old stuff) with a Braun Paxina 29: [/url] Braun Paxina 29, shot with Nikon FM-2 and Nikkor-Q 135/2.8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bryant Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 My newest FM2n. It has smooth shutter blades and a serial number over 8 million. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels - NHSN Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 This weekend I will try out my purchase from yesterday: An Olympus OM-2n with a 28mm/3.5. This is my first Olympus OM camera and I can already say that I love the size. 5 Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 Started a roll in this one earlier in the week and will finish over the weekend. I will likely use the Minolta 24-50 f 4 MD Rokkor zoom and maybe one of my 135 telephotos. I'm testing some Kentmere 400 to see if I want to invest in a bulk roll. Currently it is just over half the price of Ilford HP5+ and even less than half the price of Tri-X. The meter is accurate in the XE so it's a good camera for testing film. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_foreman1 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I have played with the shutter all winter trying to get the charging of the shutter consistent. It isn't but I will wing it anyway. I admired some photos from 10 years ago using this Biometar on "the other" Exa. The other lens is the Flektogon these lenses including the Pancolar. . came together with Varex IIA and all needed service except the Pancolar. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m42dave Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Just finished replacing the prism in a Zenit-E. If the weather cooperates, I might take it out for a test. Its selenium meter is still accurate. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I've had a film in this pretty Agfa Ambi Silette for about a month, but due to a succession of grey and wintry days I just haven't got around to using it. Perhaps I'll get a chance this weekend. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameragary Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 not so much what i am using this weekend.but my latest finds locally.the Canon AE1 was a garage sale find w/50mm 1.8 ssc lens and a case.the X700 Minolta was a throw in as it did not wind.i always keep a selection of batteries in my pocket and when i showed the owner it did not work he gave the camera ,3 lenses , a bag ,the minolta winder for it ,and a remote shutter ,and about 10 rolls of film ( expired )for 20.00 bucks. the AE1 cost me 20.00 the Sunpak 611 Auto was an E-bay find for 9.00 bucks complete woith al the cables ,charger and battery pack that still charges and after testing still changes power output as described.will be cleaning the camera's and working on the minolta.meter still works and does not die out when you press the shutter all the way so i am thinking a dirty magnet.we'll see. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick_van_Nooij Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Finally finished the roll in the Leica. Loaded up a Canon Dial 35 with a new LR50 battery and some Double-X. Lowered the ASA setting by one stop to compensate for the voltage difference. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 Those Dial 35's are fun little cameras, Rick. Great lens and slightly wide angle work well. I used to own the Bell & Howell version (including hard case). Mine was given to me around 1977 or so (it was traded in at my family's camera shop) and it quickly became my carry anywhere camera. I sold mine a few years ago as I wasn't using it much. I wish it still had it. One favorite use for it was to shoot a roll of transparency film and have it returned uncut so it would fit in one of the old filmstrip projectors. Also shot some E4 Ektachrome that I processed at home. Mainly, though, Plus-X and Tri-X. A few from my Dial 35 family camera shop around 1977 younger sister and brother (I think I had a Sunpak 201 flash at the time) my '71 Impala I look forward to seeing your images, Rick. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another immaculately clean camera... I think you have one of those filters they used in the 1970 s washing powder commercials brand A- vs our new improved Drawbridge Magik tata makes it simply brilliant. I suppose your history in advertising photography is to credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
