Here's the 'new' M2 I purchased from jja. It's wearing a CV 35mm/1.7 Ultron

Taken with a Digital Rebel wearing an Olympus Zuiko 90mm/2 macro

Joe, my thinking is that I'll keep the Bessa R as backup.

Jan, ur pic should be in a "can u find the camera?" competition :D

Nice stuff Gene..

hey Nomade , you have a point. I just wanted to 'expand' the idea of this thread. Too of ten it's about the camera and not the coffee. -joke-
Maybe we should have a 'where's waldo' sort of thread for cameras but no camo cameras in a field. -humour-

BTW I'm liking the most recent posts to your gallery
 
Great looking instruments Gene and Jan and really good pics of both. And Honu, me and the boys were talking and wondering if you own any camera that falls into the "beater" category? Sure can't tell it here.
"Jan, ur pic should be in a "can u find the camera?" competition..."
Now there's an idea for a thread.

I really like good "beaters," but at the moment I do not. I'm as picky about "beaters" as most would be about mint condition: I dislike dents but love good brassing. A fellow RFF member now owns a Contax "I" that I was particularly fond of...

P. S. The 28mm Tessar and finder stayed with me :D (he probably wouldn't have wanted them anyway).
P. P. S. Forgot this was the "C & C" thread -- I'd better include the beverage...

Excellent Honu. How did you part with it? If a camera is pretty nice, I hate to let it go because I might not find another that nice. If it's a beater, I get sentimental and can't let it go either. I'm doomed. I'll probably die from terminal packratism.

I really did love that camera -- and the member that has it seemed to be just as fond of it so I wanted to pass it along. No regrets...I know it is in good hands :).
