I've been getting sorely tempted by a 3.5 MX-EVS 🙂 What model is this one?

Oh, duh. The release should have clued me 😀

It's a Rolleiflex T model 2 (with a 75mm 3.5 Tessar lens). It's like new. It has been the camera of a person who has worked all his life repairing old cameras like this).
I hope I will share some portraits I will make with it.

Of course, there are no bad Rolleiflexes! 😉 However, I'd suggest a model that doesn't have the EVS linkage. I find it a pain (if a minor one), but that's my opinion only. A 3.5 model with a Tessar is the way to go; more compact than a 2.8, and the Tessar has, to my eyes, a more balanced rendering than the ultra-sharp Planar. Again, personal opinion!

When I bought my Tessar the other day, I told to the man of the shop exactly the same about the Tessar and Planar. He looked me like "are you sure what are you saying?"

Yes, sharper is not always better!

When I saw this in an auction ad on the Goodwill site I knew I needed to win it. I'm making a mount to put in one of my train cars so I can mount my camera to this for 'on board' videos.
This will work perfectly.

I was thinking of trying it because my L-308 can do EV metering.
That said, I'm probably going to stick to my Rolleicord III for the foreseeable future as it's a wonderful camera with a delightful lens and there is this W-Nikkor 2.8cm f/3.5 for Nikon S-mount that would go very well with my Nikon S-2 😈

3d printed grip for the Leica CL. Fits well, good print quality and it also lets me change to a vertical hang on the shutter side. I prefer that side as it is quicker to grab and allows me to use the strap like a wrist strap on my shooting arm.

Just pulled the trigger on a Rollei SLX, version 2 (the "good" version). I've quite fallen in love with the 6006, but, despite the fact that it functions perfectly, I just know it's a ticking time bomb. Gotta have a backup. And a backup for the backup, etc. etc. And I just bought the 6006 a Bright Screen from Rick Oleson, as well. The old, dim, so-so finder is now glorious!

Waiting for a Zeiss ikon Contina 524/24, to use as a pocket camera.

I traded my M10 for this M10 Monochrom which has just arrived from Leica Store Manchester. I should have just got the Monochrom in the first place as I don't shoot any colour photography. I am really glad I got back into the M system now that I am retired.

Woof! If I were ever to go back to digital (ha!) this would be the beast for me. Enjoy!

That's very nice. I like to have a half case with the grip. However, it's not as sexy as your grip.3d printed grip for the Leica CL. Fits well, good print quality and it also lets me change to a vertical hang on the shutter side. I prefer that side as it is quicker to grab and allows me to use the strap like a wrist strap on my shooting arm.
