In the zone

[Red Robin]

When posting about a new acquisition, a Yashica 35/MF, I got to wondering about other "Zones" I have acquired over the years. I 've mentioned the last one the Yashica 35/MF, but I also have a Konica C35 , a beautiful Zeiss Ikon Tenax, a Agfa Optima 1, and nice example of the Agfa Optima 500 S. Each was acquired during separate GAS attacks in years past and not used . Just wondering if anyone here might have used any of these little pocket cameras on a regular basis? I've loader up some Legacy 100 B&W hoping to take them "out for a spin" when I can. After all they were built to be used, and they seem well built.

I've used about four of the C35 variants, and have two waiting for seals at the moment (an Automatic, and an EF3). Great little cameras, but not enough manual control. The Automatic has a rangefinder though, and I like that over the EF3 because there is no indication in the viewfinder of the EF3 showing what focus zone it is in.

I've also got a 35/MF, and it's slightly larger brother the ME. Shot the ME, and loved the results, but the MF is waiting for seals like the two Koni's.
