Rondinax 35U for cheap money. They are getting crazy expensive.

-More cameras than brains... Sadly it didn't take very many.

Haha, thanks for the laugh, that tickled me in a way I can certainly relate to!

Too true, I was lucky and picked up a 35U for a very good price a few months ago. You'll enjoy using it

I've been looking for a Rondinax 60 but the prices in the UK are way over the top. One very good one just went on ebay for about £127.00. I'll stick with my changing bag and stainless tanks for 120 film for the time being.

Sometimes it just takes a bigger camera! Enjoy! Are you going to do wildlife photography?

Using that via a TC on DX, that is some seriously high quality long range rig you've got going on there!

I bought a 60 about 3 years ago for $15 US. It works wonderfully well with HC-110

Just bought an un-named British 12x10 Field camera, it'll need a small amount of restoration, there's no GG and it needs new bellows. So at laust I can join the ULF club I have some 12x10 plate holders I can adapt to fit.

It's time to sell a few items.

I can only bow and say: "wow"...
Enjoy the tinkering and shooting this size!

From Collectible Cameras I scored a black barrel Nikon 135mm f3.5 for my Nikon S2. The lens came with a Nikon skylight filter, the original lens caps, front and rear, the original clip on lens hood, leather case, extra leather strap for the case, the auxiliary finder and its little case - all in essentially new condition! Lovely stuff. The aux finder is rather like looking down a rectangular tube, but it does have parallax compensation. I think it can best be used with both eyes open. Some variant of the Mighty Kontur finder would be ideal here!

Now if I can find a 35mm or a 28mm at a reasonable price! They seem to be really costly. With a 28 or 35, the 50mm 1.4 and the 135 I'll have a nice outfit.

A few days ago, ID-11 developer. Other than that, I got a lens about 6 months ago - 70-200 which was something I sold the previous one due to focussing 5-6yrs ago. Looking to the day when it would be 3yrs when I bought my last "capital" good. I don't get into upgrading that same lens for a more modern one or get another body when I already have (2).

Been about 12 months from my last film purchase too.
