Who has a attack of GAS?

[traveller]

then have a look at this auction.
And if you think your gear is expensive, somewhere in these lots is the oldest camera in the world. A newspaper did write that starting price will be € 100.000 😀.

I have gas attack
I have wide angle gas attack, 35mm, or wider
for my m2

But this is nothing to me, nice stuff but not my category

i'm in the middle of a GAS attack ... CV 21/4 SC

Gas attack at the very moment. Tomorrow off to view a Yashica Mat....... Still have to tell the girlfriend 🙂

Not trying to make a point ... just thought this was really funny and fitting

 

[darkkavenger]

This is funny, Pete 🙂

I'm involved in an "architecture" photo project (see my sig) and I have been coveting a wide angle lens for some time now. My J12's always failed me miserably, and now that I've got a contax-IIIa, I think that the alternative is getting a CV 21/4 🙂 Hopefully I'll have one soon. 🙂

Cheers,
Max 🙂

Lateley I have been fighting the urge to buy a used Mark II. I keep having to remind myself its the camera or a semester of classes.

 

[darkkavenger]

It comes with a special NASA Planar 2.8/80mm no.4489001 with matching black anodised finish with control tabs, also designed for use with space gloves, manually engraved NASA inventory number, a 70mm 200-exposure magazine no.TR400144, the body engraved: NASA no.P/N SEB 33100082-201 S/N 251, one side engraved: NASA no.P/N SEB 33100082-S/N 359, Lunar Surface, Super Wide Camera, a special NASA dark slide, in total only 29 cameras of this type were produced for NASA, to our knowledge only one other camera has been offered for public sale in the past
