Lomo Lubitel 166B. I take my colour films to BCE ;Bradford, England for processing. There is also a camera shop digital and analogue. Well when I went last week there were three Lubitels in the window for £25 each, so i bought one.

OK, first picture is the camera and it is a digital snap (Canon S70 for £22 from same shop, and it does RAW!) Rest are HP5 stand developed for 70 min in Caffenol CL Piece Hall Halifax and Yorkshire Regiment Memorial in Town centre. I bracket the shots as a test run and is the stop down, 800 rather than 400 that is used. Evidently Caffenol CL standing has speed enhancing properties.

a Goerz 12" Dagor 6.8 in a compound shutter for my new 8x10---much smaller and lighter than the Symmar-S 300/5.6 I got with it.
a G-Claron 355/9 without a shutter for the same camera

looking for a wide, but haven't settled on one. I actually already had a Fujinon 180/5.6 that barely covers 8x10 with no room for movements, and probably bad corners (officially 305mm image circle, just a little short.) I also have a Fujinon 250/6.3 that will cover, but not with the movements of the 6.7, plus 250 is not particularly wide on 8x10, but at the moment its what I'm useing just because it is lighter than the 300.

After watching a video by Steve O'Nions on YouTube, I decided it's time; I pulled the trigger on a "better than direct from China" grade R72 infrared filter (77mm to fit my most versatile camera, my RB67) and I'm going to get some Ilford SFX or Rollei IR film soon...

I got a K&F Concept 100mm square filter system with an ND1000 (10 stops). The filter looks very good, it’s made of glass.

The adapter rings that came with the holder are more than enough for all my lenses (except I need B50 and B60 rings for my Hasselblad lenses). I’m gonna try using B50-62mm and B60-67mm adapters that I have. If there’s no vignetting, I’ll keep it that way.

I have also bought some 100mm Sinar square color correction filters from a member here and a Cokin Z-Pro B&W filter set (yellow, orange, red and green) from a seller on the Bay, all of them to be used with the K&F holder. I hope they fit!

Now I only need some graded NDs and I’m not gonna need new filters for quite some time!

A lovely Nikon F with a 55mm f3.5 Micro-Nikkor. Really digging these old Nikon manual focus cameras. This will go nicely with my F2 and F3.

You buy the one off of the classifieds here? That is a really nice, classic rig.

I kind of like my in camera meter (If I'm full manual, I can shoot 120) but an F is still tempting. I learned on one... well, shot one roll, using an external meter, when I was maybe 7 or 8 years old. I still have a soft spot for them.


On topic, I bought a leather half case and wrist strap for my FA. So, I guess I like it enough to keep it nice and won't be selling it on.

Yes, I bought the one listed in the classified, should be here Tuesday. I’ve got a nice Gossen meter to pair with it. You’re right though, an in camera meter is nice. I was out to with the N90s today, wow built in meter, auto exposure, auto focus, almost felt like cheating.

As usual with late night browsing of auction sites. I end up with more than one of something.
If reading the serial numbers is right one is much older than the other. Both are working well but one arrived a lot more dirty that the other. I'll have to get new leatherette for the older of the two.

180mm Graflex XL Rodenstock Rotelar with front separation.
Came with a badly damaged filter ring which isn't shown in the auction pic and may have happened in transit:
