<p>Nice one Marc. Gene Smith's Spanish pics were his finest in my opinion...what a truly great photographer.</p>

<p>Nice set of pics again Rick, really like the tones in "number fourteen". Certainly is a camera that was beaten with an ugly stick!<br> I just found a Nikkorex at the back of my cupboard,and I think that may be uglier. Maybe we should have an ugly off,to see who can come up with the worst looking camera?</p>

<p>Aha, we do make stuff! Great little meter Rick, and I must admit that I didn't know about it all...shame! I have seen the Palec multimeters though, so the company is somewhat familiar.<br> Thanks for the post on this little gem.</p>

<p>The EXEE was certainly not junk, a bit odd to be sure. It has interchangeable front elements and you could get, apart from the standard 50mm, a 35mm, 90mm and 120mm.<br> The cameras wasn't cheap and I'm not sure of the marketing of Canon on this one. Unlike many front element changers, the Contafex etc., the Canon has a focal plane shutter and metering that automatically sets the aperture...if it works!<br> Camera can be used manually though, and has probably the brightest viewfinder of any camera I've sen. </p>

<p>Another from the little Minolta.</p><div></div>

<p>Next...</p><div></div>

<p>Better late than never. Also nice to see a coupe of Box camera pics this time around.</p><div></div>

<p>Yes, the pad-of-death :) Great camera, so I hope it works for you OK, usually do as I've found that the Yashica meters are usually pretty reliable...and accurate.</p>

<p>Interesting to see that the online size has increased....but I had already re sized these.</p>

<p>Last one..</p><div></div>

<p>A couple with a Retina 11C, 50mm 2.8 Xenon.</p><div></div>

<p>Always like the tones you get Rick, very pleasing. The Dacora seems to turn in a good result despite the sub par mechanicals.<br> You should have a top notch little MF cameras if repairs can be affected OK. I guess that it is all about the lens more than anything else, and while Enna was no Schneider, they did produce some more than acceptable optics.<br> Funny, but you don't see too many Dacora cameras here in OZ, maybe none survive, and I have never put hands on one.</p>

<p>Photo book from Rick...sounds great! Really nice work again, and yes you do have to love the old Minolta rangefinders...they id it so well.<br> Just been fiddling with an older Minolta AL, very sweet camera too. Oddly, I don't have 7S any more,and my 9 has ceased to function.</p>

<p>Hi Matt, definitely spots from processing, not from your camera. Looks like you may have to buy a processing outfit :)<br> Nice to see a Kookaburra in a photo here at PDN!</p>

<p>Great stamp....sending for a prospectus in those shares....hope there are still some left! </p>
