Not sure if I mentioned the new M3 and summicron last week but I got a used Leicatime case from B&H for it today. Someby had given me a couple Leicatime straps at Xmas so I’ve got one the same color as the case as well.

Second hand Voigtlander 75 1.9

Now I have a perfect (for me) mini setup for small trips:

MP
summicron 35
ultron 75

this is my first 75mm.
I have a tele elmarit 90, but it's too long to use with rf for my tastes. And the 50s are too short to couple with a 35mm lens.
It's a pity my only camera with 75mm window is the MP

Bought a Minoltina AL-S on ebay being sold as a Minoltina P. I think it needs a CLA with regards to the shutter, it works, but occasionally it doesnt want to open. Not sure if I feel comfortable doing it myself. May run a test roll first, before sending it off for a CLA.

Feels like it was left inside the case for ages as the meter outdoors seems to only be about a stop under exposed. And I was able to replace the beamsplitter on it, what a pain that was since it was tough to find info on aligning the rangefinder, one english site mentioned how to vertically align it, but not horizontal) and found it via a Japanese site if anyone is interested (明日は明日の風が吹く ミノルチナの距離計は). Horizontal alignment is very sensitive on how much it goes off..

Ahhh. I also have this lens. Maybe just my copy, but it's one of the most disappointing Nikon lenses I own. Only two Tamron lenses (no longer owned) were more disappointing. Please let us know if your copy performs well. Maybe I just need to adjust something or find another copy?
$20 is a very worthwhile gamble! I'd have done it....even if I did already have one of those.

I have had this lens before, I found it as good as the various later 80-200 f/2.8 models at similar apertures. Just slower focus and slower optics. And for $20, what the heck! Why not? 🙂

I’m like an alcoholic. This came today. Royer Teleroy. Works but could use a good cleaning.

The Mamiya 250 4.5 for the RB67 dropped the other day, it's nicer than described/expected.
