What's your latest new old camera ? (Part 2)

Animals can be interesting to observe. I use to love to watch Wild Kingdom with...Marlin Perkins, I believe it was. He had a lot more sand than I ever would.

Got gifted two P&S cameras.
Minolta Freedom Zoom Explorer
Nikon one touch 200

From what I gather these two cameras are pretty good optically.

On the same note I got my pentax PC35AF to power up for the first time since I bought it. But keeping it that way is another story.

A black FM2n body that's at least within 60 days of production of my first chrome FM2n. Got it from Roberts Camera for $90 shipped. Has some dings and a dent on the prism, but, that's ok. I can probably have someone massage the dent out of the prism when it gets refoamed. At least, I can finally call off the search for a body that's close to the original body, serial-wise.

A black Pentax MX and a chrome Pentax ME Super arrived today.

Sirius Glass · Nov 12, 2015

Not a latest camera, but a latest lens that gets delivered today. A Hasselblad C f/8 500mm lens which when coupled with the 2X extender will give me an effective focal length of 1,000mm equivalent to 635mm for 35mm so that I can take nature photography.

Just the last one...... Zenit 3m

ThatOverallsGuy · Nov 12, 2015

Just got another EOS-1N in the mail today. Now I can use two bodies and don't have to swap lenses as much.

Kodak Signet 35. Was bought new by a parishioner's late husband in 1950's. On my first roll of film with it. Need to figure out why flash bulb attachment didn't work. Nice gift from her cleaning out her house to move in with her daughter.

Two F bodies...

The one I got recently developed shutter bounce issues, and I'd been looking for a body with an unchipped casting. Got a fairly clean, albeit salty air exposed black F from a local repair shop for $90. Then, apparently, while I was driving home, a snipe bid that I forgot to cancel went through. Have a fairly clean chrome 'Apollo" F as well. One that is 400 cameras older than a black F I owned a few years ago.

Zeiss Contina from our local market. 9 of our English pounds, fully functioning and in A1 condition. Cracking little camera. Can't wait to put a film through it.

This month, a 1968 Hasselblad SWC and a Pentax MZ-S. Please god, let me stop buying cameras and concentrate purely on using the ones I have.

But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."

"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.

"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.

Picked up a mint Canon T90 10 days ago. Already shot a roll of film and am in love.

Just received a Horseman LX - I thought the RB was big but is a beast - real beautiful though !

Konica Autoreflex T3

Minolta QT si Maxxum with a short zoom, looks like new. 3 dollars, new batteries 15 bucks. I need to stick to cameras that don't use batteries. J.

Kodak Retina IIa which I bought last month and now an Exakta 500 made in the late 1960's. The Exakta 500 is an improvement over the Exa II. It takes Exakta lenses, has an instant return mirror, and shutter speeds of B, 1/2-1/500. The workmanship is amazing. It is about 2/3 the size of my Exakta VX's and feels more solid.

Fixcinater · Dec 1, 2015

That Retina looks great, should be a lot of fun.

frank · Dec 1, 2015

Retinas rock. The lla especially. Had a couple over the years, now have a lllc.

Exakta VX 1000. Serial number 0000059. :confused:

Shutter feels like there's a lot of grease-turned-goo somewhere inside the camera - if just working it out won't make it smooth, it's DIY CLA time, I'm afraid. At least the curtains are free of pinholes and wrinkles.

An E & T Underwood "Instanto" quarter plate camera, it does need cleaning up and new bellows, made somewhere between 1886 and 1904.

Chrome F arrived yesterday. Works properly with the F-36 drive, so swapped that over, along with my working FTn finder.

Sorry for the iPhone pic...

I like the look of that FTN with motor drive!

John_Nikon_F · Dec 3, 2015

^Thanks! Once I get a better pic of it, I'll replace my current avatar...

I got a Hasselblad 500c as a present today.
