The Konica III is a beauty, isn't it? And handles nicely. I bought one last year and had it serviced because the film transport was very heavy and the shutter was sticky. I've put my first roll through it, but haven't developed it yet.

It is, Bert !
Here's mine - it is from 1956 and comes - unlike the later models - without an EV coupling (an interlock between the shutter speed and aperture rings).

Sekonic L308S It is the 60th anniversary edition that comes in bright lime green. I have to wear sunglasses to use it day or night.

A "as is" condition Omega 45E from KEH. It was listed as having damaged bellows for $7.00. I added it to an order figuring for 7 bucks It would make a good project camera to tinker with or maybe use the back for a hyperfocal 4x5 project. When it shows up at my door it is pristine condition with what i would describe as minor wrinkling of the bellow, still light tight though. As is at KEH can mean so many different things.

Received a simple Holga 120 pinhole camera today and shot my first film with it (expired Fujifilm NPC160).

Some steel tanks and reels, amber bottles for chemicals, a contact printing frame, and a tank of gas for the truck so I can drive out to some locations. And a sandwich, because I have no patience for photography when I'm hungry.

It seems I won a local auction for a Widelux F7 (about $ 450).

I didn't think I would get it - but I made an bid this afternoon since I've always wanted one of those.
I've seen some amazing images from this type of camera with swinging lens.
I hope it really is in very good shape & working order (as promised).



BTW: even the Big Lewbowski used one (a F8 I believe) on the film sets:

For future reference, Tempe Camera can repair the WideLux cameras. I have used them several times.

The last one I received was an EOS 5 for 17 Pounds, body only. It's in great condition and works perfectly. The last one I bought and am waiting for it to be sent out, is a Pentax MX body for 10 Pounds that the shutter won't press on. I checked the photos and the shutter lock is on and the mirror is up. So I'm betting/hoping that's all that's wrong.

Bought a David White f/3.5 Realist Stereo Camera which was on the fritz, and got it up and running this evening. I would share a photo of the camera, but I'd think only a stereo image would do it justice..

A Luna Pro light meter for my girlfriend. It's about time she used one to accompany her old cameras, an old 6x9 Box Tengor and an early Ikoflex. She uses these with real success, and gets her work on walls in places I can only dream of.
