Nikon f2sb with md2 and mb1. Tomorrow it gets a strap, 10 AA batteries and a 36 exposure roll of Tri-X. Then I'll set the time machine to 1977 and shoot the introduction of skate boards.

A piece of ANR glass for scanning 35mm and 120 film on my Epson V600. Working nicely once I figured out how to use it. .

A couple of German post-WW2 35mm cameras: a KW Praktiflex I of c.1946 and a Robot II made c.1946-1948. Both aparently work, but at least with the Robot I can't make the film advance even as the clock mechanism works with aparently no problems.

Canon T50 with two lenses for $3 at a yard sale, but I am mostly interested in the two (long-expired) rolls of Ektachrome Pro 200 Panther that I plan on cross-processing.

I bought an old Summilux (v1) in black.

On the right side (seen from above), in two "hills" of the focusing ring, a hole is made on the same place DDD had a focusing stick on his Summilux (v2). Has anybody seen this before?

Thank you, Deardorff, optically the lens seems to be perfect too, no scratches or haze.
Interesting, the coating is different from my chrome Summilux V1, while the numbers are very close: the black one has number 1703963 and has a reddish/brownish coating and the chrome one, number 1702441, has a blue/purple coating.
Also, the black one has an f/stop made from brass leaves and the chrome one has leaves from steel. Before this one I've never seen a Leitz lens with brass diaphragm blades.

Thank you, Charles, I hope that this lens will be less obtrusive when making pictures outside.

A Soligor 135mm f2 lens for Minolta.
Pretty cool. I kinda wish I'd never sold off my FD 135mm f2. Would be interested in how the Soligor performs.

I bought an Ansco Super Regent LV manual from Canada via ebay (half the price of the ones being sold by US sellers, less than half the postage costs too!) Click on the pic to see big version. :
It's in good condition, and didn't take long to reach me.
I also got a Tamron Adaptall custom mount for praktica LLC. Click on the pic for big version.:
Only paid £9 +£3 postage. I decided to buy it to give me the option of using any of my 3 Tamron lenses on my Praktica PLC3. It seems the meter isn't working correctly as it gave the same reading no matter what film speed I set it to. It was the same with my Pentacon Electric 50mm lens so the problem isn't what the LLC mount.
I'm not sure I ought to admit this, but I bought it from Rocky Cameras via Etsy. I can hear some of you shouting "EEEK!", but it was cheap enough to take the risk.

I got a call yesterday by a friend I hadn´t seen in years. She wanted to get rid of her family´s camera stuff. Of course I could help.
So what do I have:
Kodak Retina IIIc with Heligon 2/50mm and the original hood and green filter
Voigtländer Perkeo II with Skopar 80mm/3,5 and original metal hood
Minolta X700 with Exakta 35-70mm. Tokina 80-200mm, Maginon 500mm and Soligor winder
Hüttig AG Dresden Modell 1909 6x9 plate camera (unfortunately no cassettes, bad shape)
Lubitel 166B, a very fine one
Canon Ixus-II APS
Casio QV-R41
Casio Exilim EX-Z20
Gossen Sixtomat
and various plasticky cameras and accessoires.
I paid 50,- Euro for all.
The Retina, the Voigtländer and the Minolta work fine, as does the Ixus and the Lubitel.
Stay tuned I will post photos in my blog from all cameras, if possible.
