Hi, I'm Rick and I'm a hoarder.

Not too bad. But you got doubles and triples. Just a small time hoarder in comparison to me. I can make two such rows... :)
 
Time for me to buy big at the Photographica Fair this weekend then ;)

Oh, and that photo was taken with a Leica M-E ;)
 
Specialisation keeps my hoarding in check...

And what am looking for? A post war conversion (or rebuild) of a black I into a Standard (or similar). Yes, I saw one once, it had a slow speed blanking plate.

Sweet Black Summitar! Who did the paint? Looks great!

Kanto. The chrome was pretty rough, but the glass is perfect. Must have had a filter on it from day one. Funny how much That combo looks like an X1. More svelte, but the collapsed Summitar is proportioned a lot like the X lens.

Should be able to run the film (ORWO UN-54) tomorrow.

Since you mentioned it......

I was looking for 100 ft rolls of ORWO UN-54 last week, and could not find any for sale through the ORWO north America site,( "out of stock"), or anywhere else for that matter. I have never tried it, so don't know what the normal availability is. Is it just available periodically, or is it just NLA/gone?

George seems to get the short rolls in smaller quantities than the 400 footers, or they just sell out quickly. Keep checking back to the site, they'll be back. He might be able to give you an ETA if you email him.

Lovely stuff in Perceptol 1:1!
 
Thanks, Bob. I will try that. I've seen some nice results with the film, to my eyes, and have recently made the jump into bulk loading in order to try some different things. Thanks for the processing tip as well, gives me a place to start.
