Thanks Simon!

I have a Nikon hood for the 50mm f1.4 rangefinder lens, it was

originally part of the Y2k Nikon S3 reissue.

 

Somone wants to buy it but I dont know what a fair price is, its

like new, very clean, ive been useing it on a LTM Nikkor 50/1.4 and

IIIf but its abit large and blocks most of the viewfinder so I dont

like it.

 

I also have a very clean Leitz OLLUX for the first 35mm f1.4

Summilux but again im not sure what to let it go for. (i certainly

cant afford the lens to fit it!)

 

Any advice is appreciated.<div></div>

Nikkor 50/1.4 LTM and the Canon 25/3.5 LTM

Is anyone lucky enough to have a Rolleiflex wide but is missing the

original metal lenscaps?

 

I have a clean set of genuine Rollei caps but no camera to go with

them and it would be nice to reunite them with a camera.

Im not fond of Epay so id rather not go there.

 

PM or email me if you need em.

 

im trying not to make this is FS post seeing as they are not allowed

here :o)

 

Cheers, rob.

My Wife and I are flying into Toronto from New Zealand in two weeks,

I have Matt M's. ph.number but it would be cool to spend a day with

more TO. Leicapeople.

Ive not been to Toronto in 5 years but its my wifes hometown, were

busy with family commitments alot of the 4 weeks were there but I'll

still have a week or so to muck around downtown with my olive M3.

Its a Zorki lens, the apeture adjustment ring gives that away, also if it were a real Elmar the apeture blades would be right behind the front element and not buried behind more glass down the barrel.

Great car! I have a white 1985 Volvo 240 GL that has somthing like 260,000 odd kilometers on the clock. It always starts and has never stopped untill i wanted it to.

 

My Steering wheel is on the other side though ;o)

Thanks for the hints, ill give the Rodinal thing a go tonight and see what happens.

 

My Kodachrome 64 is 35mm, 20exp roll, it says "film price includes processing by kodak KX 135-20 P"

 

Ive had it sitting on my bookcase with other old film cassettes and i often wonder what could be on it.

No idea David! Ive never used D76.

I have a 120 roll of Kodak super xx that i found in an ensign

camera, anyone know how i should develop this? would it be OK in

Rodinal?

 

I also have an old roll on Kodachrome 64 that i pulled out of a

Voigtlander, what can i do with this??

 

any help would be helpful! :o)

Are the Geiss Kontakt thingys really that valuable??? i have two of them, one to fit the IIIa and one for the IIIc that i salvaged from the bottom of a box of junk. Handy wee thingys that i thought would be worthless. :o)

Yes the bellows is also red, im not sure what the original case was like, its missing from this camera. perhaps it was also red.<div></div>

Thank you! heres the back of it.<div></div>

Im just experimenting with posting a picture so please bear with me

if it does not work.

 

This is my Adox Sport, a rather pretty folder with a Schneider

Radionar 105/4.5 lens in a Prontor SV shutter. I use it mainly in

6x6 mode with the mask and it delivers superb results so long as i

focus it correctly! I only noticed this today but it has "Made in

Germany US Zone on the back. Its rather hard to see.<div></div>

I work in a camera shop in christchurch so i ordered a new MP to look at when they were first available here, the camera i recieved was very nice, a black paint model but the top cover was actually loose, i could move it forwards and backwards on the body. Not impressed seeing as they are almost NZD$6000 here.

 

I sent it back pretty quickly but Id like to see another one to compare it.

My Olive paint Leica M3 + early 50mm f1.4 Summilux, second in line is my Rollei 2.8f. :o)

Thanks for all your replys, ill see how this roll of film goes over the next day or so.

This camera makes a nice change from what i normally carry around.

All i need to do now is find a leather case for it.

Hello all,

Ive just got one of these lovely Ikontas and ive not much of a clue

on how to load it correctly, im used to Leicas and more basic

folders, Retinas and 'other' Zeiss cameras but this is my first

Super Ikonta.

Can somone offer some advise please?

 

Thanks, Robbie. New Zealand.

The FOKOS comes in both feet and metres, i have one marked in meters but id like one marked in feet.

Really nice rangefinders to use, very bright with a fullsize image.

I dont find the hermes mp particularly fasinating, it feels nice to play with and id dearly love to use it but i cant. its not mine. this one is destined to never be used just like the other one we sold. i bet that one is still in the box, untouched.

New Zealand retail price on the Hermes is close to $16,000.NZD

thats my auction. how funny it is to see it posted here :o)

thats fantastic! i want one! :o)

Heres mine, olive M3, ive no idea who painted it, i bought it like that. I wanted one of those Olive Voigtlander straps to match but now theyre all sold out :o( Lens is the first type of 35mm f2, my other favourite is my old 50mm f1.4 Lux.<div></div>

I have an OLLUX hood but no lens :o( one day ill find one i can afford!

Hey Bill,

Those miserable quickload kits do in fact use a takeup spool, a special one with a slot in it for the leader, it actually works pretty well. I take it youve never used one, or seen one.
