Mike Gammill Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Time to start our next weekly thread. I hope everyone has had a great week. I'll start with a few. I'll post a mix of both classic manual film cameras and some modern. From the "way back machine", all the way back to 1989. Every Labor Day Weekend we would cover the windows of our family camera shop with past Prairie Arts Festival photos. My dad would spend a couple of days putting them up. F.J. Gammill in front of camera shop, 1989, Camera was likely an Olympus OM-1 Next image., Another from the Fuji GS645 from recently.

m42dave Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Greetings, No scans this week and it's just been too hot to get out and enjoy much photography, so I thought I'd do another mini-review. Here is a nice GAF L-ES (rebranded Chinon CE Memotron) with the excellent Argus Auto-Cintar 55/1.7. I picked up the body for just 99 cents on eBay (plus shipping) in near-mint working condition a few years ago. The Chinon Memotron cameras were sold sold under various brand names including Argus, Alpa, Porst, and Sears. Chinon also offered a nice series of multicoated lenses with distinctive tapered "corncob" shape and gloss enamel finish, also sold under the Auto-Alpa label. Shown are the Chinon 85-210/4.5 zoom and the 28/2.8. The zoom has 1:3 macro focusing and is an excellent performer. Apparently, the same lens (with some minor cosmetic differences) was sold by Tamron. I always thought these lenses had some resemblance to Tamron's BBAR lens series. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m42dave Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 The whole outfit above was quite a bargain, actually. The 85-210 was $15 with shipping, and the 50 & 28mm were paid for by reselling an equipment lot they came with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 The Tamron 85-210 f4.5 was the best selling zoom at our family camera shop for several years. I still have one in Tamron trim. I'm guessing the Chinon version is a Tamron F (fixed mount) rather than Adaptall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_drawbridge Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Something of a mixed bag here, as we had only one day last week that was suitable for getting out with a camera. I'll try to post a few more later in the weekend. Here are three from the Mamiya 645 1000s with 55-110mm Mamiya Sekor f/4.5 lens. The film was Bergger Pancro 400 developed in PMK Pyro. Stormlight Hinge The End of the Line Here are two from a Bronica ETRs with a 150mm Zenzanon MC f/3.5 lens; Berrger Pancro 400 developed in PMK Pyro Ponies Winter 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_ Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Mike, like the light and shadows on the 'House at Corner' shot. Recent photo of the entrance to the kennedy-warren apts. (Nikon one-touch/fixed 35/2.8 Gold 200). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thanks, Richard. That little Oly 35RC is great for bringing along on cycling trips. The meter went south a couple of years ago so I just use sunny 16 and bracket a little more. I was fortunate a few years back to find a K2 filter to fit the odd 43.5 mm filter thread.

Rick_van_Nooij Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Near "Bloody Gulch" in Normandy, some 10 days ago. Leica IIIc, pre-war Sonnar 5cm f/1.5 with K2 Yellow filter and Kodak Double-X. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Looks like our weekly thread is off to a great start with some fine images. I have another roll of FP4+ that I shot in my Yashica FX-3 Super 2000 that I need to scan. Might post a few from that roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m42dave Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 A few more Chinons in various forms: Argus CR-1, GAF L-ES, and Chinon CS. I only have the GAF now. Mike--the Chinon version of the 85-210/4.5 is a fixed M42 mount. The focusing grips and distance scale are different from the Tamron model. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
