rick_drawbridge Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I've been putting together an album of photographs of some of the cameras that have found their way onto my shelves. It's a work in progress but, mercifully, the rate of acquisition has slowed to a trickle as the supply has diminished and the prices have risen. Many of these images have appeared on CMC over the past years; there's nothing of great rarity or value but you might find a few of interest.

davecaz Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Awesome! Now, if my wife says I have too many cameras, I can say "But look at all these cool ones I don't have, yet." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_elwing Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Nice collection; great condition. Even the Argus lacks the traditional aluminium corrosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Horton Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Great collection! I've never seen the Konica SII. And I'm envious of the Minolta 24 Rapid. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCL Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Lovely camera porn! With all those beauties around, how do you find time to actually go out & shoot, then develop & print all those terrific shots?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_drawbridge Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 Thanks for the responses! I'm pleased the album meets with approval, and sharing these images makes the project worthwhile. ...how do you find time to actually go out & shoot... With difficulty, SCL. It's deciding which camera to use that takes the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart_pratt Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Blimey Rick, you've got it BAD! Super photos and an enviable collection. I especially like the fruit with your SRT 202! What are you going to get next I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred_haeseker Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I'm jealous! The photo of the Minolta SRT-202 is a wonderful classic still life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 I am missing a Minolta SR-2 ;-) Oddly enough, a SR-1 turned up this morning. I'll attach a snapshot of the outfit. I haven't had a chance to clean it, but it looks very tidy and seems to be all go, and has the original 55mm Rokkor PF f/2 lens. It's interesting to note that, now many people such as myself are using the old lenses on a digital platform, it's becoming apparent that many of these "lesser" f/2 or f/2.2 lenses perform as well (and in some cases better) than their more hallowed f/1.7 and f/1.4 brethren. I still don't have a copy of the original SR-2, oddly enough the predecessor of the SR-1. They seem to be a little hard to come by. Thanks Fred; that pic is one of my favourites, too.

Mike Gammill Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Very nice example. I have an SR-3 with the 55mm f1.8 Auto Rokkor and the 100mm f3.5 Auto Rokkor. I've heard there were two versions of the SR-3 with the first one having semi auto aperture. One source stated the first version had split screen focusing aid. The version I have has fully auto diaphragm but microprism focusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
