What's your latest new old camera? (Part 1)

[Robclarke]

Bronica ETRS, with an AEII prism finder, a 50/2.8 lens, and two backs: a 120 and a Polaroid. Seems to be in fine shape too. Soon I'll have a battery,
but the default unpowered shutter sounds crisp.

eBay: $150

Woot!

That is a great camera at a very good price. I enjoy using mine. I hope to use it more this year.

I've never used a Polaroid back, and probably wouldn't have bothered to buy one separately, but I ordered some Fuji pack film that should fit, and will that a try.
Then, given the price of the stuff, it'll be back to b&w 120 for me.

Yes I did consider the Polaroid back but when I investigated it seemed the images were very small. I would be interested to know what you think of it.

An early (well 1965) russian Chaika 1. A fun all-mechanical half-frame camera for 35 mm film.

Pieces of a "Rochester Premo". No you woun't see it on the auction site as Heirloom Collectable Vintage etc.

I've definitely never seen one of those before. It looks like they took cues from an Olympus Pen.

Yashica-Mat

I used to use a Yashica Mat-124 often for portrait work, although it wasn't my camera. Where did you get yours?

I found it on eBay. It is the basic non-metered Yashic-Mat, not the 124.

Here are some pictures of what I have been collecting. Not much before the late 60s. Except for the Vivitar 220/SL and the Yashica FX3, I pretty much use all of them. Seems somehow blasphemous to tke the picture of them with one of my digitals.

Nikon FM2 and Rolleiflex Planar 2.8E. Really loving those two.

 

[pipoca]

An Agfa Super Solina (RF) and a Fujica ST605 (SLR).

Fuchs, you don't post too much

Canon EOS Elan II for 15 dollars. And a Minolta Maxxum 3xi for free.

A friend just gave me his old Maxxum bodies, though I don't have glass for 'em. I remember comparing them to my Rebel X when he got one of them, and had a little envy. But... only one of us was going out and taking photos regularly, so I guess I was pretty happy all around.

Not a camera, but my sister-in-law gifted me this bunch of NOS

Canon Snappy S. Cool 80s color. This one has a broken battery cover, so I need to find another and swap. Luckily, there are loads of black ones around.

An another one...

Nikon EM with its Series E 50mm F1.8, all 1st version.
It is my 7th EM.

Arrived pretty much in need of a cleaning and some exercise. It was covered in scars of many battles and dust was visible on the outside. It hadn't been worked for some years now. Had no batteries in it and I put new ones. No power was coming through. Took the batteries out and inspected the battery compartment. The cover had some green vestiges of previous batteries. So, it went to a bath of vinegar diluted in water. An hour later it was shiny clean. The same batteries went in and power was available.
The AI tab on the mount was lazy to return to its original position and it looked like it would need a new spring. But, a blast of air around the mount to clean it from dirt and some exercise on the AI tab side to side and it was working well again.
Everything else is working as it should. What fantastic little cameras they are!

Very cool. I've never even heard of the Coronet brand before. I looked it up, so now I know a little about them.

Nice. I'd love to find one someday.

MInt Fuji GW680---counter reads 87 rolls. Beautiful glass, and just shot a roll of TMY400. Will try to trade it toward an M2 or M3, hoping someone will want to step up to MF...

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it has a 65mm lens rather than the 80-90mm which is standard on 6x6 format cameras.

It only has two controls - film advance and shutter release. Aperture is about f13 and shutter speed is about 1/50.

And the coolest thing is that it's made out of bakelite!

Seems to work nicely too. This was on IFORD HP5 Plus, developed in OBSIDIAN AQUA 1:500 for 12' semi-stand @ 20deg. C.
