Thanks for the heads up!

 

[back alley]

is it the Canon IIIA Joe?

no, kinda in the opposite direction.

i have been yearning to play with one of these since they debuted in 1992, iirc.

[xayraa33]

1992 eh?
is it one of the Contax Teez?

 

[back alley]

sorry, no.

 

[back alley]

clearly i do not whine loud enough about the cameras i would like to play with.
i believe that quite a few members also have one of these and after mine arrives i'm thinking of starting a club.

Joe, I'm betting on Dave's Hexar...

 

[physiognomy]

Is it the Hexar AF... Would prefer the RF myself, but I guess you have that area covered with the ZI... From what I've heard the lens is stunning!

simultaneous winners!

i had just given up on owning one of these, saw one last week on p.net for sale at way too much money for me. i decided to stash my cash and save some more and maybe get a black zi body or the new 50/1.5 zm.
then dave offers this up at a great price and i couldn't resist.
i have wanted one since they came out many years ago but never managed to have the cash and the opportunity at the same time.
it may be a permanent member of my kit or be up for sale within the year, all i know is i wanna play with one.

hey, that Canon 50/1.4 is a steal.

Yes, my guess is that Joe has purchased Dave's Hexar AF.

 

[xayraa33]

the AF came out in 92?
time is really flyin by.

 

[rover]

i have to search and type faster.

Congrats, Joe. Have big fun playing with your new lightbox.

When merciful acquired his AF, I recall the marvelous lowlight pic he posted, taken on his first roll. Ever since, I've thought about trying one, too.

Congrats on the AF Joe,
Dante Stella had a good write up on this camera.
