Camera and Coffee

[Trius]

RC and espresso; camping, Milford, Ontario.

A lovely pair of f/1.7s

Olympus 35RD (oily shutter sort of fixed but not quite) and a beautiful Canonet G-III QL17.

Sadly all I had in the cupboard was instant - no fancy espresso machines for me.

My Flexaret IIIa and a cup of something calling itself coffee. Taken on my mobile, BWed in CS2, actually doesn't look too bad.

it's a simple M2

I just got this last week - a real workhorse - worn but smooth and (I think) - beautiful. The J12 is a temporary 35mm lens until I can afford a hexanon or biogon.

Chilling with the trusty Gaggia

Nice. I got a M4-2 for myself. Actually, I'm waiting for it at the moment...

But there's one thing I didn't get, yet. The camera has no built it light meter, right? What's the fluted glass for then right beside the viewfinder? (Sound stupid coz I've already bought it, but I was okay about the fact to have no built in one, so I thought well.. but would be interesting to know, though..)

 

[captainslack]

No, it doesn't have a light meter built in. Not sure what the fluted glass is for.

CameraQuest sells a nice shoemounted meter you should check out.

 

[der.chris.tian]

No, thanks - I already have a handheld one.

The fluted glass is for the projected framelines isn't it? At least it always is on my 70s Japanese RFs.

yes indeed it is

 

[der.chris.tian]

Ah, okay then.

I dont drink coffee but I did just blow my summer savings on that beast the 35mm 1.2 Nokton:

Using it on my Bessa R2a that I've had for a year now (and thats my Minolta Autocord TLR in the background.)

Jamie: Tea and other more "interesting" beverages are allowed in this thread.

Nice photo ... very nice.

 

[der.chris.tian]

Sorry for the bad quality. My father's cam unfortunately has no manual override to control exposure... *g*

Pen & XA on Moleskine ... via Pen

Pen & XA on Moleskine ... via Pen

My XA, made with Frank's "new" Pen. I'm just the delivery boy, but he gave me permission to test drive it. Kodak BW400CN, f8 (I think) 1/200s.

There's always one in the crowd...

This was supposed to be a special day for my RFs, but there'slways someone tagging along that doesn't quite fit in.

 

[Kent]

Minolta Hi-Matic F and a very nice Espresso...

 

[Morca007]

A terrible cellphone picture, but I couldn't resist...

$13 from KEH:

 

[Superbus_]

Nice shot Benno, the RC looks so new and I like the mirror effect from the cup on the camera.

 

[Kent]

Benno, great price!
I paid € 30 for mine (including a new battery) and even I thought that was a very good price.

Sorry, no coffee this time, but a computer (starts with "c" at least)...
