Yeah- you don't want to accidentally confuse the one for the other and end up drinking your fixer.

I don't remember if I told the saga of my Pentax LX on here (long story short - has an issue with the film advance, and getting it repaired will cost $350 and take 7+ months). Well, one popped up on Ebay the other day with recent servicing, reseller warranty, customs and shipping included, for $350. So I treated myself to it. Should arrive Thursday.

A black Pen FT with the 38mm f2.8 pancake lens. Having an issue with the counter I need to fix but it's clean and everything else works well and the price was right. Can't keep track of 74 frames without a working counter though.

Reveni Labs autocolimator. Was able to nail infinity focus (off film) on my Agfa Isolette with a degree of precision that I couldn't achieve before.

Ok- the new-to-me Pentax LX arrived yesterday, and I put a roll through it to test the film advance and it seems to be working!

I replaced a cracked knob on a Calumet Green Monster. 1/4-inch knob screws aren't readily available in Japan, so I bought a “Knob Star” (product name) and hex bolt and nut and combined them. It looks funny, but it's practically fine.

Discovered his signature inside after I got home.

I just bought a Kodak Twin 20 (bottom loading, horizontal transport 620 with bright finder and Galilean finder). Intended fate is to use the film transport in a tea tin camera, possibly interchangeable between pinhole and a lens.
