Show us your SLR ..... WHAT?

[Wulfthari]

I do love my ST901 and ST801, and the few lenses I have with them. What is the zoom you have there? I don't have any Fujinon zooms but the 43-75, which is OK except I always considered it a rather useless focal length. I have the 50mm f/1.4, the 50mm f/3.5 macro, the 28mm f/3.5, the 135mm f/3.5, and the 35mm f/2.8. I always wanted the 75-150, the 24mm, and the 19mm, with perhaps the 300mm. I have acquired other non-Fujinon lenses that do what I want so I doubt I will ever get them. The prices do seem to be down a bit though.

The zoom is indeed the 75-150, one of the best built zooms I've ever owned. I also have the 135 mm f2.5 that is a big chunk of glass, this weekend I received the last of the collection, the 705W (and probably the best of the lot) and I went with a coworker at Stonehenge, unfortunately the weather wasn't great but I've taken few shots.

This is a detail of the heel stone taken with the 75-150:

This is the 705W, £38 plus shipping including the 135 mm and a 55 mm f1.8 in excellent condition but that doesn't focus at infinity.

This is totally unaccetable decadent and corrupt thread....although i have these slr things...

Interesting, I never noticed any vignetting with my 50mm f/1,4. I always heard good things about the 75-150. And I know all my Fujinon lenses are great, well, I'm not so excited with the 42-70.

It's the 60's all over again! Sorry about the size - don't know why it is so big. The ultimate F - scares small children and keeps seagulls away.

I received a parcel from the past, I assume from October 1976:

Good for knocking on aggressive photogs at celebrity events.

The problem is that the judge would claim that you used excessive force!

What's the inscription on the prism Tom?

I'm not sure about a 21mm lens with motor drive though.

 

[Tom A]

Chris, it is not a prism actually. It is a small "plastic" "thingie from the brilliant Cosina team. It allows you to put a finder on the top. There is no prism inside either. It was designed to be used with the limited production 12mm and 15mm Heliars in Nikon F mount.
The 21 works fine - mirror is up of course and though the rear element is close, very close, to the shutter, so far no problem. Looks good too!

Tom,

I think Chris is referring to the writing just above the 'N' in Nikon.

I recently snagged a super nice, near new Nikon F2A. You'd be hard pressed to tell it from a new out of the box camera. I ran a roll of test film(transparencies) through it as is my usual practice with a new camera.

The tests were not good. Out of 36 exposures I had about half of them that were light strikes on the upper left of the frame. Long story short, I got in touch with Sover Wong, showed him some pictures of the slides and he said it was the shutter. I opened the back and advanced the shutter slowly till I saw the curtain and noticed a space between them so, off it goes to Sover to see if he can repair an otherwise beautiful camera...good thing I ran the test before putting it into work again.

This is a photo of what it looks like with the back open without the shutter curtains being shown.

After I discovered the light strike problem this is what the curtains look like. There should be no gap.
