What have you just BOUGHT?

Pentax-adjacent: Sears KSX Super with Sears 50/2.0 and a Sears 80-200. (Pentax K mount.) The camera and 50 are rebadged Ricohs, and the zoom is a Samyang I believe. Sadly, the camera seems to not work -- must be a bad connection somewhere inside. Several sets of new batteries don't make a difference.

Fortunately, as part of the same sale I got a Canon EOS 650 with Canon 35-135/4-5.6 and Canon 300EZ flash. This was the first EOS camera I understand -- all working perfectly. Pretty nice rig.

All for US $50.
 
Bought this last night but it's shipping today. I know there's a problem with shutter but it was cheap so I'm gambling I can get it fixed. It's a Pentax K from 1958-59 with the Zebra Takumar. My understanding is these were mostly hand built to a very hight standard and have a Leica like feeling of quality to them. Notice the slow shutter speeds are on the front of the camera.

A dual lens/sensor panoramic camera.

Effective FOV 24mm and 70mm cameras with a wide angle adapter to have a FOV of a 14mm. Can auto shoot up to 360 degree spherical panoramas, 180 degree or I can select the top left corner and bottom right and it will auto take all the shots in between. Full blending in camera, along with storing all the RAW files.

Quad-bayer sensors (4 photo sites below each bayer color) and it can act pretty much the same as Fuji's old Super CCD in have two different exposures at capture time to increase dynamic range, said to be 14 stops.

And it flies too. ;)

Nope, nothing extra needed. Was using the rotor wash to blow the leaves off the path it was flying over and then just moving it a little and covered the same area to push them all further. Was slow going but good practice flying/controlling it.

If I really wanted to I could have just set it to track and automatically follow me and then walked around. Probably would have worked but might have flown a little to high to be effective.

Another bargain off eBay ($18 plus shipping) - an Agfa Isolette V medium format (6x6). Here it is along with an image from the first roll (Acros). I wasn’t sure what I would get but I’m pretty satisfied…

Nice! I was just eyeing one in a local flea market for $200. Needless to say, I did not bite! Check the bellows for light leaks; that's a common problem with these cameras. However, your shot looks great, so it looks like you got lucky.

... and obviously the focusing still works as well, no solid green grease there. Nice find!
