Thank you, Nikon Sam! Zone VI Studios - Hooray, it's still out there!! Fred Picker's little periodicals were wonderfully helpful guides to the Zone System

Avenon 21mm 2.8. Waiting for the post person.
Will be posting my CV 21 in the classifieds

A Panasonic G1 plus 14-45 damned cheap will flip the camera and an OMD EM10 with a 14-150 will most probably flip the lens.

Hi,

Just an upvote for Igor. I bought a chrome M2 Abrahamsson RapidWinder from him, and it was beautiful. Good luck with your shooting.

Thanks,

Igor is a good guy! Bought a 135mm Leica M lens from him that was very clean. Unloaded it 'cause its just not a RF length IMHO. But I'd deal with him any day of the week. Honest and fair. Jealous of the Rollei... pondered same mightily, but enjoying the 6008-Integral immensely. Every time I try to NOT love it, I fail. Afraid a Rolleiflex 28D Xenotar (which I'm "watching") would tempt me out of the SLR. Not sure it'd be small enough, so as a "travel" alternate for MF, chasing(?) a Voigtlander Perkeo II 'cause why not? And those Pentax spot meters are amazingly useful.

Another + for Igor. Just bought a Kodak Ektar 47mm f2 lens in its shutter (from a Retina II) and it is in great shape. Just waiting for a package and I will have it adapted to my Fuji.

Leatherette #4008 for my IIIg from aki-asahi.com 🙂

Used Nokton 50f1.1 from PhotoVillage. Have the first version of the 35f1.2 which I love except for its size and I am sure the 50f1.1 will have the same issue. Luckily I have a 35 C Biogon and 50 Summicron for travel and when there is more light.

I may have posted this here, but I got a Zeiss Hologon 16mm/8.

In the last week, a KMZ Moskva 4 from 1956, and a quite cheap and beautiful (but with "gummy" shutter) Contax S "small-D" from 1951.

Finally got my hands on a Konica dual!

Five rolls of Arista EDU Ultra (Fomapan) 400 in 35mm. I've never shot this film before so I'm really excited. I paid $3.89 a roll which means it even better for me. If I enjoy it, I think it'll be my go-to film from now on.

If you Monitor is an earlier one you can use clipped 120 rolls in it with a 620 take up spool. I shoot mine that way. Great camera, if your bellows are light tight.

I have the Plustek 8100 which is the same thing just without the infrared for dust removal. Quick tip: If you can't get your black and white to look good using the software, scan it as a positive, and under the histogram option, choose "remove color cast". Then invert the curves in lightroom/photoshop (or whatever you use). You should only have to play with the blacks and white and it'll come out great! Or scan it as a plain positive without the color cast removal which will give you an extremely flat scan. When inverted, you'll be able to get every detail of the negative.
