What have you just BOUGHT?

[Leon C]

Polaroid OneStep2, inc case and a pack of iType Film, £20! Was a 40 mile round trip but I like a nice drive out.....To be used for the Mamiya RB, got the 3D Printed files off my mate earlier for the adapter, my wife says it seems a shame to take apart as the Polaroid has only been used once but it's a sacrifice for the good of humanity....It takes 600 Film as well.



Some of the 3D Print....

Hmm. It does seem a shame to rip up a practically new OneStep 2 i-type camera for a project when there are so may old OneStep cameras available for almost nothing. But I'm speaking as a Polaroid Addicted ... 😉

A fully working (even the meter) verson of my first real camera. It cost a whole pound.

Fujica ST901 with 50/1.4 EBC Fujinon, purchased locally off Craigslist. The camera and the body had obviously been not well stored -- corrosion evident on both, especially the lens. This was a gamble, but I installed a 544 battery and the auto function, including the LED shutter speed readout, worked and seems accurate. The camera is supposed to operate in manual mode with dead or no batteries; those speeds (B-1/1000) were at first completely capping but are slowly coming back. Exercising the shutter seems to be helping.

The lens however is in bad shape -- it seems like the focus helical is stripped or cross-threaded somehow. I can't get at the screws to try and take it apart from the front. The glass is not good either. I do have a Fujinon 55/2.2 that works with it, and other M42 lenses work with stopped-down metering. All in all, worth the $25.
