Good choice of lenses. I do not own 100mm f/2.8 yet (presume, I may never own one ;-)) but 135mm f/2.8 is a stunner (Just an amazing lens indeed). I may also recommend 28mm f/3.5

A 20 inch /508mm (approx) Rapid Rectilinear lens for my 12"x10" camera, it'll easily cover 15"x12" and almost 20"x16" unfortunately without a flange.



.



Luckily I have a box of assorted flanges and the lens matched one perfectly, optically the lens is in excellent condition although it needed cleaning. To get an ide of size here's the camera & lens along with a Houghton Victo Quarter plate camera.

Two more lenses for my OM2n: the 135/2.8 (with built-in extendable hood) and 85/2:

The 85mm f/2 has been one of my favourite lenses for decades. It and the 35mm f/2 compete for my most ardent affections. When the family includes my 24mm f/2.8, I am truly happy with the contents of my (really small) camera bag .

Gitzo 1224 Carbon Fiber tripod and case. It was a steal with the original tags and boxes at $250 used. Lovin it!

Would you believe a rear lens cap for Canon FD lenses?! A while back I drilled a large hole through one to use it to adapt an FD lens for manual setting on a reverse adapter. Next B&H order, I bought another lens cap for normal use -- and it didn't fit right. So I just got an "original" from someone on ePrey. And it was weird too, but I was able to effect a slight mod and get it to work.

Who would think such a seemingly simple thing could be so doggone complicated!

Well the 25-50 F4 has focus issues. Won't focus to infinity and has a rattle when tilted up and down. Dammit. Any recommendations for a repairman?

New eye thingy for my F3. The old one fell off. And picked up a Minolta AF-Tele for $4. It works.

My Nikon FM2n has finally returned after 2 years of waiting for it to be finished. Film is warming up and will be loaded soon. Put the 50 f1.4 AIS on and threw batteries in the SB-28. Woohoo!!!!

Focusing ring for a Hasselblad camera. No longer available from the manufacturer so I had to use eBay.

A Kiev 4 with 35mm Jupiter 12 lens. I already have too many cameras, but the Kiev is the first I've bought for a couple of years and it was very cheap! I fear it's a gateway drug into Contax ownership with all the travails that go with using a quirky 60+ year old camera.
