Time again to help the homeless... camera.

I'll be happy to pay the postage (France) for the Minoltina (really pretty) and post the "best of" from the first roll before end of 2018 year. If still available.
It will keep company to my 7SII.

It's yours. Please PM me your address.

What a great and happy thread!

 

[BernardL]

It's yours. Please PM me your address.

Did you check your PM inbox? I provided that information on Tuesday Nov 6, and asked what was the shipping cost, but have not heard from you.

Best regards

To everyone who is waiting for a camera - my apologies for the delay, and I intend to get everything boxed up this coming weekend and shipped early next week.

Now you might understand why I would never survive as a seller. 🙂

Thanks Jean-Yves. Was wondering if you'd had a health episode; glad to hear you're OK. PM me the postage and your PayPal as soon as you know so I can reimburse you.

Kind regards,

Thanks Jean-Yves, no rush at all. Knowing November is almost over I PMed you for an address change so nothing goes astray. Instead of the Nordic cold, where I haven't really been shooting, the Pentax can get some warm Mediterranean testing over holidays.


I hope you've not been having grief during this time.
Just as Lynn, I'll await for a Paypal so I can cover up the parcel.


Kind regards

Minoltina arrived during a short trip to Paris. Thank you a lot Jean-Yves. It's even better than I thought. While of course the proof is in the test film, everything seems to be alright. The look is real nice. All shutter speeds work OK (by ear). Rangefinder works, with good contrast between the two images. And this is the first compact rangefinder I see with a DOF scale.

I need your paypal ID. The postage amount is on the post office label. Even more so after seeing the camera in person, I think it is worth more than postage. Have another look at my PM dated 06-Nov.

As concerns my pledge to "post the best of from the first roll before end of 2018" year, I apply for extra time, in view of now being already mid-December.

OM4-Ti arrived at the same time BernardL's Minoltina arrived, and I've put a test roll of APX100 through before putting the Ektachrome 100 through.. it seemed appropriate to take a beauty portrait with this beautiful camera - I hope you like her. Thanks Jean-Yves!

I'll post more pictures to this thread as I process them. Please let me know your Paypal as well so I can reimburse postage.

Again, many thanks!

bashful beauty, Om4-Ti OM Zuiko 35mm f/2 APX100 in Rodinal 1+50.

Oh, she's a beauty all right. 🙂

Summer in Australia with an OM4-Ti + OM Zuiko 35mm f/2, APX100 in Rodinal 1+50
Manly beach, Sydney, December 16. Around 29C, humid with afternoon thunderstorms.

Oi, a bit concerned how one made it to OZ before my adopted one in Europe! Having a hectic days on the move. Gladly would cover up postage and more.

Jean-Yves, don't know if you got the address change and posted it to Spain. If it was posted to the Swedish adress I'll just check with the Post office before leaving. Hope it doesn't bounce around.


Results will be clearly new years' resolutions. I got a couple '06 exp rolls of TriX and should try to get deeper into the darkroom next month.

My apologies - check your PMs, it's on its way. The Olympus has a week or two head start.

Pentax MX is in the house. This is a really nice and hefty camera that will be put out to good use. With the 40mm it makes for a nice and compact classic SLR setup. Thank you very much Jean-Yves!

Spending my Xmas break in the Mediterranean so quite good light available, but all in all might not do as much shooting as planned or possible.

 

[BernardL]

Carried the Minoltina with me since a few days but no proper opportunities for photos. On Thursday drove down to the campus and found it under low-lying fog. Took a few pics. APX-100 (real one or not??) Rodinal 1:25 8min@20°C.



Again many thanks to Jean-Yves.

 

[lynnb]

Bernard, those are really nice fog photos. Well done.

 

[BernardL]

Lynn,
Thank you and glad you liked them.

Minolta Minoltina AL-S. Meter also dead, all else OK. Very pretty little camera.

Lovely photos. You're all putting these cameras to far better use than I did.

Finally - cross-posted from the Ektachrome 100 thread - first roll of Ektachrome I've ever taken, with my new OM4-Ti! Thanks Jean-Yves!

Lucky Aussies! seem to spend all their time at the beach. Nice pics, but somehow i like better you beach pics in b/w. My favorite is the last.

exposed +2/3EV

To avoid that the meter will place the sand on Zone V? Or to achieve that Massimo Vitali look?

Yep. Also seems to be the collective wisdom on the Ektachrome 100 thread. Thanks for your comment.
