Small delivery of Nikon cassettes . As usual they were full of dust from the foam disintegrating in the bottom of the holders. They do wash easily, provided you allow plenty of time for the felt to dry out.
Got the Fuji 27mm just before the sale ended; also the 18-55 here on RFF.
Oddly, neither fits on my X100. Sooner or later I'll get a Fuji ILC for them. Either the Xt-1, or an X-Pro2 if it ever happens. No rush, I'm not traveling for 4 or 5 months, and the X100 and Nikon V1 are OK for now.
Not gonna be here for a couple of weeks but Ive got the new Samyang 12mm f2 on order. Placed my CV 15mm Heliar and Samyang 8mm up for sale to raise funds.
Just won for $26 (a second) 150mm f9 Rodenstock Apo-Ronar. This dialyte will cover 6x9cm sheet or rollfilm, and will go into a Durst IXTUB recessed enlarger board, then onto a Plaubel Peco Jr board, then onto my three Makiflexes. Amazingly sharp lens, and so very teeny-tiny. Here is my other one, mounted on a Sinar Norma lensboard (see the below thumbnail).
Also from German Ebay, a 120mm f6.8 barrel-mounted Schneider Angulon. This dagor will also go into a Durst IXTUB recessed enlarger board, then onto a Plaubel Peco Jr or Makiflex board, then onto my three Makiflexes. This one I also have, on a Sinar Norma board, and in a Compur shutter. Covers 4x5" and 9x12cm on my Makiflexes, with -quality-.
Picked this lens up today at the PHSNE show.
Nikkor 35-70mm/3.3-4.5 from about 1983 (?). 😀
On the D5100 the EFV zooms from 52mm - 105mm. Lens is nice and small!
My most recent (impulse) purchase: a Zeiss Ikon Nettar 518/16.
As you can see, so new, I have shot two rolls, more to go tomorrow, but haven't seen the results yet. In fact, the camera was faulty, but I have had the top off and I hope I have repaired the problem - which was that the double exposure prevention mechanism was sticking. Not sure if you should use WD-40 inside cameras - doubtless someone can advise. However, for £37, it is not worth too much worry.
First impressions are of the extreme portability of the machine, if it works, it could be a fave,
