Show Off Your Nikon RF

[Range-rover]

Hi all,

Everyone seems to be in a chrome state of mind, so here my new
to me Nikon S3, I really like this camera, after I took the top cover off
to clean the rangefinder out and a little screw tightening here and there
it's working nice, still the advance lever returns a little slow sometimes
(need to get in there again but need a little more info to make I take it
apart right) it turned out great. I took pictures with it today so we'll see
how they come out tomorrow. After getting the S2 and now the S3 I don't
miss the Leica's I had, at times today when shooting the S3 it's just smoother
and the rangfinder better (Sorry Leica fans, but I had a few of them too).

Just a diversion from all those mintish Nikon Rf's. One of my beater SP's - with a 35f2.5 on it. The lens is pretty clean though.
I have been following the thread on RFf regarding S3 versus SP. I tend to use my S3's for the 35mm focal length - so I decided to give the SP a go with 35's. Dug up 5 (FIVE!) 35f2.5's (three chrome and two black) as well as my VC Color Skopar 35f2.5 - and I will try to find the Jupiter 35f2.8 Kiev too. Shooting with a variety of films and trying out Rodinal in different dilutions. This is Legacy Pro 400 in Rodinal 1:75 for 16 min.

Thanks, I got the first roll back from the camera today, and they all came

My "Zeikon" collection - I keep my Zeiss lenses down to a dull roar - but these are my favorites. The classic 21f4.5 Biogon (still an outstanding lens). the Planar 35f3.5 and the Sonnar 85f2 (this one focusses fine even at f2.0 - previous one that I used were a bit iffy at wide-open). On the S3 is a Prominent Nokton 50mm f1.5 with the Cosina adapter.
EK 5222/Kodak Double X in HC 110 1:60 for 12.5 min.

I recently purchased a set Nikon lenses and a Nikon SP camera (one of the last batch
of 1000 produced cameras with a high serial number 6231XXX) at a reasonable price.
Among others was a rare Nikkor-S.C. f = 8.5cm f/1.5 lens. Now I just have to develop
the first roll.

That's a nice looking camera there.

Nikon S4 and 50f1.4. Shot with Orwo DN 21 (a 12 iso duplicating film) developed in Delagi D8 for 15 min.

Tom, that's a gorgeous S4 right there, the chrome 50 1.4 looks very nice and uncommom on it, S4's are mostly seen with black 50/ 2 hc lenses

Yes, another great looking Nikon RF, I got my S3 back with some minor repairs
and it's as sweet as ever.

I should have never come in this thread....

My friend was offering to sell me his S2 with 5cm 1.4, I wanted to snap it up immediately, but I declined because I thought I'd be smart about finances. (Though if he would have let me pay him in installments that's another story!)

Just to ease my mind, would $500 for that combo have been a good deal?

Now, where's my FM2n I need to hug it.

 

[Range-rover]

if it's in nice shape that's a good deal, snap that bad boy up
before it's gone.

Oh blimey Erik, you have SUCH nice gear...

This and the Inge Moratz black paint M2 are just SO great to look at...

😀

 

[maitani]

Perfect!
Glad you like it. 😉

It's great, thanks again for contact me for the sale.
