What have you just BOUGHT?

[Vics]

A canon VT Deluxe cannot wait to use the trigger advance

I had one of those forty-five years ago. great VF for 50mm and 35mm. Classic for LTM lenses. Have fun!

What do you think so far, im sought hovering over one? Cheers.

So far, so good. I took it out a couple of days ago for some quick shoots and it performed great. It is extremely sharp, and the build and quality is top notch.

Pentax FA [ don't say it ..] 35-80 / 80-200 kit lenses 1997 to extend my back up Pentax K10D . £27 with as new ,neat , clean gadget bag .
Don't say I don't know quality when I see it !
I love 35-80 on APS cameras and it's as acceptable as my Minolta version.

You certainly know a bargain when you see it! 🙂

Nikon FE2

Minolta MD 100-500 f8, from a dood in a gas station parking lot via craigslist. Getting it professionally cleaned ($70) cost more than the lens. (came with a free fully functional Minolta X300 which is a surprisingly nice little SLR)
Worst case scenario, I have something to take with me to the batting cages...

New Helios 40-2 in Nikon mount. I was hummming and hawwing over the Petzal, then saw this and much preferred the results with it. Nikon mount means I can use it on my Nikons (!) as well as my Leica M with my Fotodiox Pro adapter. That adapter is surprisingly nice. Rock solid on the camera, really nicely feel/fit/finish.

Beatiful one!

I recently purchased a voigtlander bessa r2a with a 35mm 1.4 lens. I need to get the rangefinder recalibrated seeing that the vertical alignment is off.

Olympus 35 RC from a thrift shop, very good condition but the light seal in the back is deteriorating. Looking up how to repair and replace light seals, found a couple of good sites and suppliers.

I plan to - but first I have a long-overdue reunion with Il-2: 1946.

Tried IL-2: Cliffs of Dover? Amazing graphics though gameplay leaves a smidge to be desired. The only thing lacking with the IL-2 games is a lack of realistic rudder authority. Can't do snap-rolls.

Every 'old' camera that I've bought, no matter the brand, has had to have these replaced. I get the kits from ebay, and it's easy to do as long as you are patient. A dental pick and alcohol with cotton swabs helps to remove the old sticky gunk.
Just did a newly aquired Nikon FE2 last night (that was in perfect shape in every other way)

"Accidentally" bought a Leica M4 Black Paint from 1969. I really really shouldn't have, and now I have to move money around and sell some other stuff!!!

Being sent on Saturday- Sony A39O with kit lens and Tamron 80-200 in gadget bag - £102 !!!

I just wanted a Minolta Mount body with flip/waist level screen and live view ... but ... maybe this is the least expensive mini-system ever !

It's a bonus , that given the outdated tech of Sony's last entry level DSLRs it employs a second sensor for live view overcoming some of the problems associated with other cameras .

Just bought a Cosina CX2 with its motor drive for €5. The camera looks and works perfectly, but the motor drive is dead. No complains though for the price was right.

Thrift store $10 score: Canon LTM 100/3.5, with hood and original price tag on the rear cap: $39.50.

Whaaat? Amazing deal! Congratulations.
