Twenty rolls of film from my favourite seller in Hong Kong (eBay 'Fukoko') oooooeeeee!

Contax IIa

Contax IIa

It came today ... my $200.00 eBay Contax IIa with Sonnar. It had some tape residue on it and required a quick 20 minute clean. Rangefinder's clear and accurate, it focusses smoothly and all shutter speeds sound perect ... the Contax Gods have smiled on me! 😀

 

[FrankS]

Indeed they have!
You'll have to rearrange your camera cabinet and take a new shot.

Konica Hexar RF + flash
I used this today, and it is not loud, and the vf is bright despite what people are saying. I was actually suprised how quiet the film advance was.

Nikolay's Kiev.

Nikolay's Kiev.

Kiev 4 came in the mail today ... $30.00 FSU heaven. Engraved on the bottom ... "To Nikolay on his 5oth birthday from his fellow workers."

 

[FrankS]

A Kneb II, a Contax IIa, and a Kiev 4. You should stop now. 🙂

Yes ... I think I'm done ... where have I heard that before?🙄

 

[physiognomy]

Nice buy Keith! I thought about bidding... It's a pretty cool piece of history to own, but I just don't need another Kiev (unless a really nice 4am lands in my lap)...

you people are just cruel!!
😉

afa the rf world...i am done...mostly.
i did just buy a minolta 7s2 but that hardly counts and i want the 50/1.5 and i think i want to keep the 50/2 also.
yeah, that's pretty much it🙂

 

[GeroV]

Well, I guess deep down patience is really rewarded, as I received my MP-4 today😀 Yesterday, my Summaron 35 3.5 arrived, and two weeks ago, my 50 1.5 Nokton and VC meter II arrived, so I thought I would post the collective parts tha now make a whole (in my wallet😀😀😀).

A little late, But a week ago, I got my Bessa R2 with CV25 and Adapter in the mail....Well, it all arrived in different packages and days.

Oh, it has been a long while since I had Leica sized RF.
The last time in the 80's I think when I briefly owned a Leica M5 with 35 Cron. Back then it was a Financial mistake for me. But the Bessa's and CV lens's are now a great alturnitive. Although I am looking to get one or two Leica Len's down the road.

 

[DMG]

sorry no pictures yet (too tired) but just received my two wrist straps from Gordy, well worth the money and the expectation 🙂 If you are heading down the path of the wrist strap I would check him out for sure

 

[rbiemer]

The Canon P arrived this afternoon! A digi-crap shot of it(that I converted to greyscale to eliminate some color fringing).
It's not perfect--and wasn't described as perfect--the flaws that the seller listed are certainly there. But it sure is nice!
I have some questions about it that I will be posting in the Canon forum.
Woo Hoo!!
