One more won't hurt the thread. This time with an ancient 3.5/50 Tessar in an aluminum pre-set barrel.

Having already a like new Canon F-1N, I should definitely had to get her elder sibling. So, here she goes:

Very nice F-1!
My wife bought me a first version F-1, (with a build date of, Sept., 1971), in -LN condition, with the original box & contents, as a Christmas gift this year. It replaces the one that I purchased new back in 1974.
I'll post some photos of this "new to me" camera later today.

The Yashinon 2/50 is a nice, way underrated lens. One of my favorites. It seems to me to outperform its faster siblings.

^ Sexy. I've been meaning to get a manual focus, classic SLR for awhile. But I don't *need* it, so I put it off.

My newly acquired beauty:
OM-1n modified for 1.5 volt batteries, meter resistors all replaced and calibrated for the new voltage, absolutely pristine and bright viewfinder (not to mention the blue/grey leather replacing the old leatherette)... it's like a brand new camera! Also, the 50 1.8 was purchased seperately, but it's in as new condition as they come. I got it in it's original box, and there is absolutely no wear anywhere on the barrel or glass.
Can't wait to take this out and shoot!

SL 35s get little respect, but at least they're handsome. The Chrome one is 100% Singapore, the Black one is 100% Germany.
