I recently bought the Pentax SV, no meter, but a great camera ($100):

everyday backpack 30L by peak design. very expensive bag, but boy is it well designed for what I need it to do. can definitely recommend if you can justify 250-300$ (or 300€ in europe) for a piece of secondary equipment.

It's been some time since I've owned an SLR of any type (never owned a DSLR, just lots of FSLRs, back when we just called them SLRs). Found a Canon A-1 from a consignment shop at a low price (they didn't know how to test if it worked) on ebay, and it showed up yesterday. Sadly, the battery vendor on ebay lied ("tag spammed" their battery with a lot of models that it isn't), so I had to order a proper Duracell from another vendor, and won't know if the A-1 is fully functional for another day or three. Other than the foam looking like 34 year old foam (found at foam replacement kit on ebay for $20, I'll get that if the electronics check out), the camera looks very lightly used. It looks like I got a good deal!

I had picked up a Canon 50/3.5 macro and an FD-Fuji X converter, but later got the proper Fuji 60/2.4 macro, so the Canon lens was sitting around unused. Yes, I bought a camera to make a lens not feel lonely! Plus, I'm trying to convince my wife to take a darkroom photography class, and the A-1 would be a good camera for that, much more practical than trying to teach her the M6.

Ricoh GR Digital. My GRD4 was getting a bit long in the tooth and I felt it was high time to grab a replacement.

Leica X1 battery to give it another few years of use (5 and still going!). Internal battery is long dead. No matter, that camera is still awesome.

I am awaiting delivery of an MP240 in black from Classic Connection. I enjoy film more but nothing says you can't shoot both.

Voigtlander 28/35mm Mini Viewfinder, from AusDLK here on RFF. The viewfinder is smaller than my thumb. This opens up several possibilities for lens/camera combinations that I have been itching to try.

 

[Steve Ash]

LHSA APO Summicron 50 Asph. Silver version.

I consider it to a completely reasonable decision as it was solely taken wholeheartedly. 😉

I am eagerly awaiting its delivery.

I bought this on ebay for $9.99. Beautiful 42mm shade, new, now available. Perfect for the Summarit 50mm f/1.5 and the Summilux 35mm f/1.4 steel rim, as a replacement for XOONS and OLLUX. The OLLUX in nice condition sells for $1.500.

Erik.

Seems great! Please tell if you notice any vignettes at all


Also would appreciate the seller data.

Best regards

Marcelo

I had this grand plan to not buy any new gear this year and I already failed.
There’s a chrome M4 headed my way. I’m weak.

Two 16mm magazines of Kodachrome II that I am gleefully running through my camera, unceremoniously flashing then using to test capstan modification of the magazines themselves.
