Gas

[darkkavenger]

Xmas gas, Xmas gas, gas gas all the way!

Next week I'll get a Zorki-1 with brown original leatherette, case and a very good looking I-22. I'll get myself also two Exakta RTL 1000 with the Meyer Optik Görlitz Oreston 50/1.8 😀 One will go to my daddy 😉

Stay tuned for more Happy Days

Merry xmas to you all 😉
Max

P.S. : As I said earlier, the Russian Lens Database is up and running again at http://www.carthago-ltd.com/rldb/tab.php 🙂

Merry Christmas, Max! I believe Santa Claus is planning to deliver a CV 28/3.5 to satisfy my Christmas GAS.

I am awaiting a Zorki 1C from Oleg

I've fulfilled my desires with a two classic Exakta VX1000 bodies, CZJ Tessar 50/2.8, CZJ Sonnar 135/4 and still waiting for CZJ Pancolar 50/2 and CZJ Flektogon 35/2.8, all in Exakta bayonet mount. Also, I’ve purchased a beautiful Zorki-5 with a nice collapsible I-50 and it’s waiting for CLA.

Ah Vjeko, it's your wonderful photos taken with the RTL 1000 on Flickr that have made me curious about this camera! I've always wanted an old Exakta-66, and maybe I'll make up my mind with one RTL-1000 and one Exakta-66 .. there are outstanding lenses available in Exakta bayonet mount (75/1.5 Biotar for example) and some nice Flektogons as well (there's a 20mm i think).

I'm a separated personality between the classic Exaktas, RFs and the sea. Be a very cautious, exaktophilia is a very aggressive affection and almost endless, due to enormous number of bodies, lenses and uncountable equipment. :angel:

I should have been cautious the day I decided to give up trying to get a Canon 20D and getting a TLR instead... that was two years ago...

 

[Diomedes]

By the way, I’ve downloaded your .exe slide show and it’s beautiful. You’ve chosen a beautiful music also. Cheers!

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it 😀

Hi Max,

I wonder if you have ever tried the wonderful Opema with the 45/2 Openar lens? That will be a nice gift for your Xmas.😀

Cheers,

Zhang

Santa Claus is real gracious this year 😀

As a starter I got the XD 7, with this camera I shot my first pics until it was stolen. As main course a CV 50/1.5 is waiting and I think the dessert will be in January because than is my Bday. Maybe a Yashica Mat 124 G.... :angel:

Greetings Zhang,

I've thought of trying one, but I've always been unsure about them... they were made by Meopta, though, i'm sure of it, and seeing the quality I get from Flexaret TLRs, I think the Opema should be just as good! Oh it's going to be so hard, i'll end up with 5 cameras instead of 3... 😉

Merry Xmas! I also had some Gas attack two days ago and won some OM gear🙂
