Got to make a better photo of this ... 1972 Nikon F Photomic FTn in black:

P1100984fS.jpg

i use it mostly with the plain prism finder and a Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 and Nikkor-H 85mm f/1.8 lenses. Yes, it is a large and heavy piece of equipment ...
 
I think the Pentax SV is a fine looking SLR.

Here's my battle proven warrior that I've had for a while and finally decided to take it for a spin. This is a rather large SLR with ergonomics that fit me well - I'm really digging the location of the shutter speed dial.

If anyone has a black one that they don't need, let me know!

It was my Dad's camera, but since he hasn't used it in a decade, it is mine now. Complete with 1970s strap. Coming from digital, that view finder is bloody amazing.

David, weigh it. My meterless F with a Voigt 40mm weighs about the same as my M3 with a Chrome 50mm Cron.

I have to admit that after a long time with big Nikon DSLRs I was surprised that my Contax 139 + 50/1.7 is lighter and almost as compact as my Hexar RF + 50/2

I would LOVE to try that lens out :)

My film lab is still on holiday, so no photos :I

The lens handles nicely though. Focus is dry (no one has serviced the lens since it was made) but I keep it at infinity most of the so I don't mind.

Without filters: no vignetting in any direction with 11mm shift.

With thin filter: At 7mm shift positions one corner vignettes, at 8mm horizontal shift positions 2 corners vignette.

With thicker filter, like polarizer: more vignetting in same places,

Didn't see vignetting with vertical shift even with my thick polarizer.

No idea about sharpness, but hopefully it is OK @ f11-f16. The lens would be kind of pointless otherwise :cool:
 
Rittreck 66. They sold the design to Norita, who made it only in black on brass. I love the look of old chrome cameras. I was suffering a bit with m43 lack of shallow depth of field (without getting right up against the subject) and though this would be good medicine. Also, I was tired of that "tiny, silent and unobtrusive" thing. This camera is big, loud and in your face.

The gordy strap gives it that playful, sultry look. The wrapped film suggests potential. I'm being facetious here, don't flame me.
