my first canon, bought the set just for the lens and was planning to get rid of the body. but what a camera!

Your collection of shots here are really stunning. What camera/lens did you use to photograph your Canon?

Salud!

I won this Canon IIIa in an eBay auction last week. (EDIT: when I originally posted this message I wrote it up as a IID. It isn't.) It arrived yesterday. Except for a depression on the top cover, it's a good Exc+. The lens is equally clean.

Note the aftermarket flash sync connectors. For both bulb and strobe.

I put a test roll through it yesterday, and discovered that it has a few pinholes in one or both shutter curtains. I will attempt to repair them, and failing that, I'll be looking at having the curtains replaced.

Who do you guys recommend for shutter curtain replacement?

 

[Mablo]

Very nice IID. I'm sorry to read it has pinholes. My IV-Sb had too and I had them patched. I was told that replacing shutter curtains is a costly affair so I'd try to avoid that.

As I wrote in the other forum on manual lenses, I had a general CLA and one curtain replaced in my IIF (pictured a few posts back in this thread) for 70 euros. I don't know if prices abroad are higher, but it might be worth checking with your local repairmen.

Hey Ludoo,

Yeah, at your recommendation over at mflenses, I decided to drop in here and post a note about it. Thanks.

A very pretty IIF by the way. I suspect this won't be my only Canon RF either. I've owned a few in the past. The one I regret selling the most was a P with a 50/1.2.

Quick question for you smart devils here :
If you had money for a body or a lens only , which would you get first? I'm thinking about Canon P plus some cheap russian lens or 35mm voigtlander color skopar and then collect money for the Canon P.

 

[squirrel$$$bandit]

I'd get the P and then complain here about not having a lens until somebody gave you one for free. ;-)

The P is a great camera, by the way.

 

[reiki_]

Yeah , I was contemplating about the differences between P and bessa R , but P just "rings" right.

 

[goamules]

I showed my new IVSB in another post, but I think it deserves to be here too. My first Canon / Leica type and I'm loving it. The first roll showed no problems, even the 1 second speed seems right on. I'm very proud to carry this around, and it's a lot easier than the wetplate I've been working with.
