Camera and Coffee

Strange.... DAG worked on my 50 Anniversary CL and changed the meter cell.... 2 short yrs ago....& Don told me he had parts including the plastic takeup spool that occasionally breaks. He also opined that the camera is much more robust than people give it credit for.

I cannot recall where i heard this, but it wasn't from DAG himself.

It's may be dead wrong about this. Contacting DAG directly would be the only way to know.
 
Aha ! I was wondering if someone was going to ask me about it.

Here it is. Enjoy!

I'm happy with #3!

Surprised to see this camera get the bronze, as I just figured it was never quite as popular as a lot of the others mentioned. But it's a terrific camera. AF is super fast and dependable. Viewfinder is nice and bright and simple. Metering is always perfect. Put the FA 43 Ltd pancake on it and it's pure joy.

Now I need to take a photo with some coffee in the frame!

It's a great camera. I have/had the plain Z-1 and loved it. Unfortunately, the spring from the piggy back mirror went flying off and haven't used it for almost a decade now. Sold my AF 50f/1.7 and the kit zoom lens and haven't gone back to it since.
 
That coffee looks good enough to drink, and I'm not a coffee person 🤣
I consider myself a coffee addict. Although for the past year I have been trying not to drink more than two cups of coffee a day (compared to four official cups, not including the bad coffee at work).

I make my own coffee, and I have several different recipes that I like.

One of these recipes appears in the attached photo. Although the caption is in Hebrew, I will try to translate for you the coffee recipe, which the roaster prepares especially for me.

My coffee, called Jerry Coffee 2, consists of the following varieties:

1. Colombia - 30 percent
2. Ethiopia - 30 percent
3. Brazil - 30 percent
4. Honduras - 10 percent

The roasting degree of my coffee beans is light, in order to obtain relatively low acidity, along with a full body, with a high sweetness that combines chocolate and almond flavors.
