I got the little adapter plugs for my M3 so I can use a normal flash with it now, and two brand new film canisters for my Hasselblad 70 Back.

edmelvins, that's a sweet camera ya got there.

Just received Rolleicord V from a fellow RFF member. Never owned TLR in this good condition. Looks like the camera was never used outside of leather case, yet all functions are smooth so obviously the previous owner exercised it properly. Time to run a roll!
 
A 5 piece Extension tube dedicated m/43 on one end with m/43 mount on other end that can take any brand > m/43 adapter. plus 3 tubes (7/14/28), all 3 (7/14/28) used, the object is 7/10 of 1cm high (7mm), 3" away from the front lens element
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am going to like this....
BTW, just using Camera side adapter without extension tubes, and just use the lens side m/43+M>m43 on a 50mm lens allows a perfect distance for flowers that are about 4" in size.
 
Elmarit

Elmarit

My Elmarit 90 2.8 arrived today, and I had time to take it for a test drive. The Vulcanite on the barrel is cracking, which contributed to a good price. I shot a quick test roll with HP5 in low-contrast light. Nice rendering (I boosted the contrast of the scanned images). Now I need a hood!

My "new" Elmarit and trigger winder arrived 2 saturdays ago, the trigger winder from another RFF-er, and the hood showed up Wednesday last week from KEH.
So, I've been shooting sort tele shots the past week. Very happy with this set up.

Nice Rob, that looks like the hood I need! Is that the IUFOO? Does it park on the lens, reversed?

Thanks, Chris!
I believe that IUFOO is the letter code for this hood, but I'm not certain. It has the number "12575" which is what I used to find it at KEH. There is a thread in the Leica forum here that answered this question for me.
And, yes it does mount reversed, though that took me a bit to realize: I wondered what the second set of "teeth" were for!

Nice setup, Rob! I like the trigger winder. And that looks like the same reversible hood for my "fat" Tele-Elmarit...

Just for nostalgia (1968), that new T-E cost me $177 plus hood $10.50 plus tax = $195.94. 😉
 
That's right, Dan... New at a retail camera store downtown Seattle, and I had to think hard and dig deep to pay for it... almost two weeks' pay for me at the time! But consider the current 90mm Summarit-M is $1695 at B&H.
 
I shoot left eyed and the winder makes using the R2a a bit easier. I really was not certain I'd like using it--it does add some extra weight and bulk--but, so far, that's a trade off I don't mind.
I got a decent deal as well; either twice or half what you paid depending on if I'm counting current or inflation adjusted dollars😀.

Everything except the lens on the camera: Couple of WW2 newsweeks, Popular Photography magazines, American Photography magazines, Yank paper, and a Leica Standard.
 
After a complication at the post office, I finally received my Rolleiflex in the mail today. First impressions? Absolutely beautiful to look at and use. The BGN rating at KEH did the camera no justice. The screen is a bit dim and the split-prism is pretty distracting - I'll be getting a Maxwell screen as soon as I have enough funds.
