A pair of grapflex xl cameras.

Xl sw w/ 47f8 super angulon

3 roll film backs

A sport finder for the sw. I put my 21 bright line ovf on the sw instead.

What is nice is the ability to mid-roll change backs.

Bought a 1980 black Leica MD-2 to build an ultra-wide rig. Bought back a black TA Rapidwinder that I sold to a friend at the NYC Meet-Up, and secured a black TA Rapidgrip. Already have a Zeiss 21mm VF'er and eventually will buy a 21/3.4 Super Elmar.

The local flea market yielded these two this morning (the same flea market where I got a nice Rolleiflex a few months ago). A black Minolta Hi-Matic E (needs batteries) with owner's manual, and a whopper of a Kodak beast, a Medalist II w/ case and lens cap. The medalist seems to work although I am still reading the manuals online to see what all the levers and settings do. Price was, well, I had $20 in my pocket and after buying them both I had enough left over for a burrito and a drink. :) Not major high end stuff, but fun things nonetheless.

I bought my first Nikon! I own 30+ cameras these days and have owned new Canon camera's since the second Digital Ixus. But, I've never owned a Nikon - until now.

I really wanted to get a good feel for Nikon. So what better place to start then, according to some, the best 35mm SLR ever made? Yep, I bought a Nikon F5! The eight-battery monster shooter should be here in a week or so.

So, now I'm researching some lenses. I'll probably end up buying the AF-D 50mm f1.8. It's cheap, well reviewed, works on the full frame F5 and it's a good prime to start with. After that, maybe a nice wide angle 28mm or so...
 
the medalist is a seriously good camera as far as results go.


Thanks. I am finding that out through searching the site and google.
Not sure which way I want to go with it. Can't see spending hundreds on a CLA for something I might use a couple times a year. Maybe I'll just shoot with it and see how it goes.
 
Jupiter-8 -58 (the silver version with the focusing tab) in excellent condition for 35€ for my yet to have R-D1. Now I just need the R-D1... :D and a cheap 28mm for it.
 
Very bad G.A.S. lately. Must not let anyone know.
