Olympus OM2 + 24,50,135 lenses.
Makes a nice light kit, compared to my F2 + lenses.

Ricoh Singlex TLS with Sears branding.
Looks cool!!

The f1.4 lens is probably made by Tomioka and thus it must be a good lens.

Nikon FE2:

View attachment 169376

Up until now, my Nikons have been the professional F series (F, F2, F3/T, F4s), the FM family (FM, FM3a), a Nikkormat FT2, and an S2.

I bought this primarily because I thought I'd use my SB-15 and SB-20 flash units on it, which I don't want to put on my FM3a or F4s's. Funny thing is, I've been shooting only in available light since 1971 - no flash.

The FE2 is one of the best Nikons i've ever used. If the FE2 would use rabbit-ear pre-AI nikkors, i would gladly trade my F2 for a FE2!!

Yes. I bought this kit mostly for that lens, I already have the same Sears camera in chrome, plus the Ricoh. The Tokina 28mm lens is reputedly quite good, as well.

Yes, this deficiency of the FE2 is the reason why I keep both an FE2 and an FE.

The last camera I bought was a Lubitel 166u off of eBay from a ukrainian seller. Mostly just to test the waters of medium format photography. It's fun to play with but it's already in the shop for repairs. Apparently lubitel's and -20celsius don't get along. Makes the lens gears slip.

Just arrived, F3HP and a 55/3.5 micro.

In case you did not see this in other posts. Have been looking a while and great to get one in this condition. The other one I got had to be returned as nothing with battery power would work. This everything works good and looks good too.

I stopped by the camera shop a few towns away today just to see what was around, and wound up walking out with a Kodak Valiant folder with a sticky shutter for $10. It'll be fun cleaning it up.

Olympus Pen EE-3 half frame. Fun little camera.

I actually purchased this FED-2 last year, but it was more of a fixer-upper than usual, and I repainted, CLA'd and installed a new shutter in this one:

It looks as new.
Likely better.

Rimski · Jan 5, 2017

Got this Canon, its as old as me!
Love it for B&W
Picked up this nice 645, heard shooting B&W with orange filter is amazing with this camera.

Rollei 35S. Arrived yesterday and not a mark or dent on it. Perfect! So happy. Had the old mercury battery in it (dead). Thank goodness it didn't leak - battery compartment clean. Will be my new travelling companion.

Ive been eyeballing them myself.

A pair of Trip 35's; one for myself and one for my wife

Well, I just pulled the trigger on a Nikon FE. Paid about 166 usd. Could've bartered more, but the gentleman saw how bad I wanted it, lol.

Army35mm · Jan 7, 2017

BTW, I think I'm going to go back and get the md12 motor drive for it. Found a working one for about 30usd

I see that yours has an eyepiece ring (either 0 diopter or some correction factor). Those are nice to have, as without a ring it may scratch eyeglasses.

I actually just went to the nikon outlet and bought an eye cup for it anyways.

I'm getting cameras faster than I can shoot them. I just picked up a black yashica electro 35 GTN for about 35$usd
Pictures incoming, still in need of a pretty deep clean. Also, it still has a roll of agfa bw 100 in it xD

Edit, photo added.
It's been a super eventful week and a half of south Korean bartering.
-olympus pen ee3
-nikon FE w/ a 50mm-1.4 nikkor lens.
-yashica electro 35 GTN in black <3
Other stuff;
52mm y2 filter for the nikon,
wide and ugly camera strap,
2x ektar 100, 3x Kodak 200, 2x APX100,
Inexpensive macro tripod for night shots from tables and stuff.
