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

[f/16]

Found a Canon EOS 630 on Ebay for $26 shipped. It has the GR-20 grip that has the remote socket-that grip is hard to find. The EOS lens I want to get is not cheap, so for now I ordered a EOS body-Nikon lens adapter.

Man...26 bux
I have often wanted to try one of the "later" Canon Models.....but I hesitate to get a body that does not take an FD lens.
No big deal, I enjoy reading about what other Guys/Gals have.
If it works properly......well, what can you say.....what a deal...!!
good luck

I got a Praktica BX20S, the last reflex designed in the DDR...I bought it for 30 quid including a nice blue case, a "Cobra" flash (supposedly TTL) and the usual Prakticar 50mm f1.8, it wasn't meant to be in working condition but with my great surprise with a new battery it appears to be fine.

The only thing that worries me is the "clank" of the advance lever and the end of the stroke, it sounds like I'm braking down the gear. Pics soon.

My BX20S behaves the same way, so I guess it's "normal". Though compared with the more fluid handling B-types it's a rather unpleasant surprise which I don't like at all.

My newest purchase is a Nikon F-801s, replacing the F-801 whose af motor is making me cringe. That screeching sound is terrible, the AF performance, too.

About 15 years ago I had an N8008(F-801) and it also had the screeching focus motor. But it never malfunctioned, just made lots of noise.

That makes me shiver, but on the other side the camera is reasonably robust (still it feels like a 90s `sea of plastic` camera) and takes nice pics:

Recent acquisition: Black Nikon FM (came with junk off brand zooms from the 80's/90's in the bag) and a Pentax K1000 in like new condition with a smc 50/2 and a generic 35-70 f3.4-4.5 zoom that looks as new as the camera. Based on markings, this is one of the Hong Kong versions.

Today: Konica z-up 150. Nice metal bodied P&S with 38-150zoom range, exposure comp and diopter adjustments that originally listed retail for $500. Paid $5.

Not a new camera but a new lens:

The Crown G is the latest model and a great camera. Congrats.

Fear not, GAS will return.

Well, it has returned to me.
This Nikkormat FT3 is in quite good condition, including the meter:

Beautiful Nikkormats Ricardo!


My EOS 630 got here today. I went to the local camera store and picked up the new 50 1.8 STM. The lens has 7 rounded aperture blades that maintains a fairly circular shape to about f/4. The EOS body-Nikon lens adapter got here too. I like the way it looks with the Nikkor 85 1.8 on it-half Canon and half Nikon I was lucky enough to find one with the optional grip with the remote socket on it-that grip is hard to find and pricey.

 

[Ricardo Miranda]

Thanks Bill!
It is a very nice EOS.
I had one (EOS 600, the same as yours in the rest of the world markets) some 13 years ago.
Never got used to the way it does the manual metering by having to press a button.
Otherwise it is a nice camera with a fast motordrive.

Yes I'm not a big fan of using many Canons in manual mode. I prefer the -...0...+ meter on most Nikons. And yes the motordrive is fast. You could burn through a roll quickly.

New to me last month but just got back from Youxin Ye. Leica IIIf bd with 50/2 summitar. This was a one owner camera coming to me in like new condition. Red velvet box, manual and leather case included. Looking forward to giving this a good workout. A real joy to handle and shoot.
