What have you just BOUGHT?

[seakayaker1]

A few colored filters, a couple of Giottos Medium Rocket Blasters, Giottos Glass LCD Screen Protector, and a filter pouch.

Just yesterday, I placed an order through the auction site for this little queen...

In the meanwhile, I got news that my repainted M2 will get assembled this week, in all likelihood. Chances are that I'm gonna get two bodies coming in fairly close to each other. It's going to be like Christmas... 🙂

240mm F5.6 Symmar-S on Plaubel Makiflex Standard.

240mm F5.6 Symmar-S on Plaubel Makiflex Standard.

This arrived today from the UK. The 240mm f5.6 Schneider Symmar-S in barrel.
To replace a chrome 240mm Symmar with milky spots between the elements.
I have looked for one for a long time at a decent price, then this upgrade came along.
It needed a retaining ring, luckily I bought a few extra from Midwest Photo. Takes the same ring as the 250mm & 300 Imagons.
So I borrowed one of those to set it up. And I will need to cut another "flat plate" to fit the lens, also borrowed from the
Imagon. Not looking forward to having to make that

Anyway it is very clean and a definate upgrade from the chrome 240mm Symmar.
Shown focused at infinity on the Makiflex Standard. VERY sharp and contrasty lens.
And it matches my 150mm Symmar-S, which I have recently been using a lot.
Yes it's big but actually not that heavy and balances well on the Makiflex.
I have ordered more of the Wista tubes from China, for future use.

I made prints on Exhibition Fiber, Bamboo, Hot Press Natural, and Velvet Fine Art—my usual paper repertoire. All came out beautifully, both color and B&W, and match the on-screen rendering with high fidelity using my usual color-managed print workflow.

Happy happy.

Great, thanks a lot for the info. I think I'll order one.

Either the greatest score of my life or a horrible mistake.

All from a single seller, from the estate of the original owner. The seller did her best to do due diligence regarding these items, posting frequent photos and asking many good questions to a very experienced group at the Vintage Camera Collector's Facebook group. But, as a self-professed "non camera person", she could not really be expected to be a good judge of actual condition. But I felt that the price was worth taking a chance on it. So, among other things, this is what I really hope is not a big pile of junk.

Lots of gravy! Congrats on that find, Mike!

My Minolta SR-T101 arrived today, sporting the MC Rokkor-PF 1.4/58 and a Minolta UV filter. All it needs is new seals, and it will be ready to use.

And two days ago the MD Rokkor-X 1.4/50 showed up, but needs some good cleaning of the interior.

Those are the two Minolta lenses I've had my eye on for the last few years. The wish list is getting shorter every week.

Found a Tower shoe mount light meter for my Nicca 3-S.

Paris Magnum book. Liking it, very much. Seems I need to buy a Sergio Larrain monograph soon.

 

[Rodchenko]

Olympus E-M5II with 12-40 and 40-150 (both f/2.8) and Wotancraft Avenger to keep it all with me. The camera and lenses are great, the bag is awesome 🙂

Nice kit. I've decided that, in the absence of an E-P7, the EM5II is the OM-D I've been waiting for!
