Recently I bought a 2003fcw (still en route), so I'm looking for lenses to match. There are (relatively) cheaper and lighter F lenses with larger aperture, and heavier CF lenses but with leaf shutters that can be used if the battery is dead. And also for lenses of different focal lengths: What...

Bronica D is an excellent and beautiful camera but not very durable. Many of them cannot work well, and it's really hard to find a trusted guy for repair. I recently find an auction on Yahoo: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w1140217609

Here's mine: Bronica Deluxe Bronica Model C -------- Pentacon Six TL (Had) Yashica 124G (Had) Yashica 635 (Had) Currently focused on Bronica models, cheap but good.

Thank you all for your advice. I've got a Canon Demi S recently for a start. The story goes that I accidentally came across a Demi S stored in box, with original accessories and prints. The box stayed for 60 years and is still beautiful. The camera is almost mint, the shutter is unfortunately...

I'm looking for a half frame camera which is beautifully made and with good lens. Currently considering a Minolta Repo. (But I heard the shutter/aperture control is in EV numbers, not manually.) And Agfa Optima Parat. (A little bit rare in my region.) Any advice? What's your favorite half frame...

I found a picture about Komura 100mm f2 on a Bronica S. Very little info could be found on the Internet. Anyone know about this? Do you know other wired and rare lens?

Hello from Hangzhou!

It's common to see a Bronica model C in silver, but rarely in BLACK. There're very few pictures on Internet about it, and I have never seen a black one on second-hand markets. It is said that a particle of the models have '1000' marked on the shutter dial, but as far as I can see, these are...

How about those with f2.8 lenses? Olympusflex, Fujicaflex, Rollop Automatic, Rocca Automatic… Maybe not very suitable for newcomers, but still worth a try (Olympusflex is very cheap). There're also some made-in-China models such as Seagull, which is simpler, cheaper and easier to maintain. I...

Recently I bought a Yashica mat-124G, which seems to have bay1 mount. I'd like to know where to find one. Also, does anyone know the difference between 'skylight' and 'uv' filters? Which is better?

I'm thinking of buying a Yashica mat-124G as a birthday gift for my friend. I searched for info on http://yashicatlr.com/index.html, but still need some feedback on using experience. Here are some of my questions: • Does it feel plastic? • Is it portable enough to carry out often? • Is it...

As the title says, I see items I want to buy, but it is my first time here. What should I pay attention to when buying? How do you secure your transactions? I need your experience and advice.

Ahh, I hope to see some Ektachrome 400X (EPL), 1600 (EPH) and Infrared (EIR). We haven't seen high speed chrome for ages.

Last year I came across some Ektar 25 and 1000, which expired in 1990. Although sealed and stored at low temperatures, the image could not bear the sight: the base darkened and was bluish. It's too old to work on its original performance. It's hard to find another one in good condition.
