I just got this little beauty back from Frank Marshman / Camera Wiz. 1963 35/2 Summicron, Version 1 (Canada), with IROOA shade. Both the lens and hood belonged to my uncle, who was a professional photographer, and he had both since new. It likely hadn't been serviced in about 35 years, and all the lenses had haze. Frank transformed it into a beautiful, crystal-clear and butter-smooth lens. Can't wait to put it to good use!

This beauty - the Vivitar 135mm f2.8 close focusing. Found it cheaply and already love it. Its review suggests it's a cracker-jack lens and its beginning to look that way to me too. Though not officially designated a Vivitar Series 1 lens it preceded them and is of similar quality. Built by Komine for Vivitar. It has a Minolta mount and which perhaps explains its low price and I plan to use it on an M4/3 with adapter.

I've just bought this Praktica FX2 from the Real Camera Company who sold it on ebay:
(Click on the pic to see it full-sized).
I paid just under £23.
It looks even cleaner/newer than in the pic and it works well.
I'll be taking it to a sort of 'junk shop' near me which has an MTL5 and pentacon 50mm f1.8 lens and trying that lens out. Depending on how bright the screen is indoors at f1.8 and f2.8, I could go for either that lens or a czj tessar f2.8. I'll also look through the finder at f4 to see if it's bright enough to get czj f3.5 135mm and 35mm lenses later.

Second-hand X-Pro 2 to complement my X-T2. It's the only reasonable way to get the hybrid finder of my X100T without the less-than-inspiring focal length.

Does the 5222 have remjet that needs to be removed?

Just bought a Wisner Traditional 4x5 camera with a Schneider Symmar-S 210 f5.6. Need to start monkeying about with it on the weekends. It's quite a lovely camera, build -wise and aesthetically. Has a gouge or two near the tripod mount but I don't care.

Is there a "what were you just given thread"?
The guy who gave me the Leicas showed up with a Nikkormat FS and three lenses. I tried to give it back telling him it was sort of rare, but he declined...saying he wouldn't go through the trouble of selling it, so he may as well let me have it.
The lenses were 50 f2, 135 3.5, and a 200 f4

A colourful, fully working (yet with haze in the lenses) Kodak No.3 Folding Pocket from 1911. The only camera you could see being used on board the Titanic, or at least I think so

The shutter is a Bausch & Lomb Automat, and the lens a Goerz Doppel-Anastigmat Syntor f.6,8 120mm, made in 1910.

No. It has an anti-halation backing with a lubricant that is rather like soap but both are removed in a normal water presoak.

Good to know. So a presoak is required? I don't generally pre-soak so I'm curious if I need to perform the step. I've started loading my own film so this one intrigues me.
