Look what came in the mail

Ektar 100 in 120 & Rolleicord III

Ektar 100 in 120 & Rolleicord III

These 2 came this morning. The Rolleicord III shutter speeds & all other mechanical operations work great. Got it for $49.99! It just needs a face lift.

I'm waiting for an early type black M3 bottom plate, a black M3 advance lever and a release button collar, black as well. Decided to get as much original black paint parts on the DIY Black M3 as possible, and have another go at painting black the earlier DYI parts. If I manage to get it better, I'll redo the top plate as well. I'll post them here once they've arrived, and another shot with them fitted. Should arrive in the next week!
 
On Friday I received a Yashica-Mat 124g. I actually wanted a 124 and would've been happy with a plain 'ol Yashica-Mat (the light meterless one) because both look better than a 124g and have the same optics. But as it happened I got the 124g for less than the price of what both the Mat and 124 seem to be going for now. Who knows - maybe I could flip it on craigslist for a profit. But I'll hold off on that - I'm waiting to see how it performs. I ran an expired roll of Ektachrome 100sw through it today. We'll see the results tomorrow.
 
And the DHL man delivered an Agfa Isolette III with the 75 Solinar 😀 Now to take it out tomorrow morning for a roll of Lucky 100 😎

Waiting for a friend to get back from Hanoi with my Yashica GSN so that I can use the battery adaptor which came in the mail
 
More Classic Plastic

More Classic Plastic

I just love these plastic cameras from the late 70s, early 80's. I have just gotten a Rollei Rolleimat AF. It seems that Rollei enthusiast consider this the red-headed stepchild of the Rolleis because it was manufactured by Konica to Rollei specs. I'll reserve my judgement until I see the pics from the test roll. 🙄

Congrats on that one, if it's fitted with the Konica infra red focusing unit you can focus it in pitch black nights and still nail the shot. Highly underrated, these infrared focusing cameras, so much better than later contrast focusing ones!

That seems like a very nice and capable setup you have there! Well done! Enjoy your meal!😉
 
Just got a near mint F5 delivered by the DHL guy 🙂 Thanks to the forum and its mature users who don't think taking care of a camera means they can ask for exorbitant prices. 😀

A special thanks to user zleica who I bought the camera from.
