GSW690III Missing the trim ring and someone removed the built in lens hood but the shot counter is on 28. Viewfinder is a bit hazy though so I will open it up and clean it. Looks like it is the cover glass that needs cleaning.

Ya all that point out to the shot counter not being "Accurate".

They are super easy to open and spin the numbers on.
Thing is, I wonder why Fuji is the only film camera company that I know of that has shot counters? These things are pro cameras that should last a loooong time.
I love mine, super lens. Amazing negs.
 
A few Series VI push on adapters and three hoods.
...and a Royal KMG standard typewriter in ugly condition. It cleaned up nice and is a delightful machine to write on.

I know the shot counter might not be accurate but the body is very clean. I cleaned up the finder and it is much better now. I had a GW690 II and really prefer the feel of the III. Only one roll in it so far but the negs where very sharp. I have a mask on the way to shoot 35mm in it. I think the frame size will be 24x80 with the same verical fov of a 65mm on 35mm.

My oldest working film camera, one from the XIX Century! It's an original Folding Pocket Kodak, dating probably from 1898 or 1899. That's before they were named "No.1" or "No.1A". It's a 105 format camera (long gone), but using 120 roll film respooled into 620 spools, it works! It has only one speed (1/25??) and to compose you just guess it. Obviously, one has to use orthochromatic film (Rollei, Ilford) to do it right :p

one of my first images. The camera had some tiny light leaks in the bellows, but I patched them with black paint and now has no problem.

How is it Michael ?
very tempted !

The VF is supposed to be brilliant, seen lovely work with it...beautiful tonal range in B&W, very painterly colour palatte

Its about the size of a Barnack I would guess and a real pleasure to use .
Previously I`ve been using my M lenses on a Sony A7R2 but I prefer the colour palette of the CL .
With the camera in manual mode the VF is very responsive to any exposure changes you make .

With my 35 Elmar on the whole package is tiny .
Controls are minimal and simple although the two on the top double up functionality with a press .
I use it just like a film M body .
Choose the aperture , set the iso and change shutter speed with one dial … that`s good enough for a walk around P&S
 

I just received this late serial # Plaubel Makina 670, with working meter, grip & hood. Apparently only 4000 made. I had one years ago and foolishly let it go. It is for me, the ultimate medium format travel camera. By chance i even found the leather case for the hood on the auction site for not much money..

* Bought friday in Japan. Arrived in Calgary via Tennessee sunday night...& held up for one day for custom clearance. In my hands mid-afternoon today, tuesday.
Kudos to Fedex and to the seller who shipped Fedex International Express for a reasonable cost.
 
A couple of complements for my KMZ Zenit EM: a macro bellows PZF and a VOMZ Jupiter-21M f4 / 200mm (I already owned the camera and the Helios lens).
