Nice SP - and nice custom leather.

Gene & Rich ... thanks. I didn't do as much post-processing as I could have, and I was working on a laptop LCD anyway, so wasn't sure of the work I did do.

Voigtlander Vitomatic IIa

Voigtlander Vitomatic IIa

I found this camera at the St. Vincent thrift store in Port Washington, Wisconsin for $6. I put a roll of film through it on Saturday. The pictures are still at the minilab. The focus ring is really stiff. Does anybody know how to fix that? It was -10 F when Mr. Sbug, of this forum, took this photo. Coffee also coutesy of Mr. Sbug.

Don't know the repair for that one, but for $6 that's a major win. The St. Vinnies here in Madison would have been charging $30 - 40 for that one (yes, they have learned the good names & Voightlander is good for them 🙂 )

That is a great deal on that Voigtlander. Best I've ever seen, actually.

Here's my beloved but not often used 1970 Kiev 4A.
The cup was already empty.
Drinking the coffee was the only way to be posting at 4 a.m...

The mailman was nice to me today :angel: and I recieved my box from Luigi. I knew it would be a beautiful case and strap, but I didn't realize how nice it would _feel_. Just delightful. So here's a couple of shots if it.

Thank you, Luigi. That was money very well spent.

my first repainting and releathering camera 🙂

sorry no coffee, but there is a bottle of whisky in the background, from which I had a little drink while putting the camera back together. doesnt that count? 😀

Pimped out to match the lettering on the lens. You get creativity points for that.

 

[lubitel]

what do you mean "pimped the lettering on the lens"?

 

[lubitel]

O, you think I painted the lens lettering? no no i am not that crazy 🙂 it was like that.

 

[rover]

No, the green an orange colors match the lettering on the lens. Did you choose those colors to match the lens?

 

[lubitel]

no I didn't. its pure luck, or may be it was subconscious? I havent even looked at the lens through the whole process. damn, have I lost those creativity points?

Yesterday, I scored a new toy at the flea market for only 7 €, and it shall now become my first 'Camera and Coffee' post! Enjoy.

I'm thinking about dressing it up like this!
