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

[Finny]

my "new" M4 in great conditions

 

[Arya]

Finally got my hands on this little camera. Got this one from Japan in an excellent condition (barely a scratch).

 

[Kino]

Awaiting delivery of a vintage Taron "Eye". Should be interesting...

 

[guangong]

Just processed roll of Delta 100 exposed in my newly acquired Folding Contessa I got from Japan. Every exposure spot on and very sharp lens. Won another from auction site with extremely low bid, not for camera, but a fair price for case in good condition. A bonus if camera is in usable condition. Think of Contessa as Super Ikonta B for 35mm.

Delivered this afternoon, an eBay BIN sale by a lady in Tennessee who accepted my best offer:

Minimal edge brassing, no prism housing or base plate dents, mirror and film door foam look better than they should for a forty year-old camera, its shutter fires properly at all speeds and film advance is silky smooth, a 675 hearing aid battery with PaulBG adapter gives good battery check and meter readings that agree with my best other gear.

Moving to an F-1 at last; oh, boyoboyoboyoboyoboy . . . . .

A Canon F1n bought as a scrapper off ebay for parts for my other F1 s but after putting a battery in and unjamming the shutter button its to good to scrap so i now have another fully working F1n

I was 'Gifted' a PENTAX SF-7 body by a kind Gent on The Pentax Forum UK -- I have been testing it out with some outdated film from my stash . I do not like the 'DX Coding' though as there is no way to over-ride for outdated films, only by sticking some paper over teh DX Code on cassette and default it to 100ASA or by setting'manual exposure' with my Weston master V. I did a Video on it -- you can see it here :

Since it is old (1932) and new (was just fully serviced) I count my Leica II as my latest new old camera

 

[andrewc]

One of my latest 'new' old cameras is this Pentax K2 with an SMC Pentax-A 28-135mm f/4 that I acquired around the same time. It's a pretty hefty combo, but feels solid and very well built. I also have a KX on the way as well.

Aahhhhh.....You are "That Guy".?
I have watched many of your videos.
You own A LOT of cameras.

 

[Sewin]

Yes,

I too like your down to earth videos Pete , wish I got so many freebies.

This venerable Pentax H2 was gifted to me by my division director at work. It was his fathers.

Unfortunately both the shutter and mirror are non functional so it will make a lovely display piece, though the temptation is there to get a CLA done or buy a Spotmatic to use that lovely M42 glass.

Went to a local Sunday Market with my nieces over the weekend and landed this little guy. Not sure if I'll keep him or sell him on - will take him out on Friday to put him through his paces at McLaren Vale in South Australia at a few breweries, a whiskey distillery, and various vineyards.

How did your Trip 35 go?

How did your Trip 35 go?

Seems ok, but the weather was woeful - rain, hail, 150kph winds; didn't really get much chance to try out these past 3 days!! Winter has hit Adelaide with a vengeance - currently huddled indoors around a roaring fire. Brrrrrrr.

Cannot say I blame you. It has been bad in Perth these last few days as well. I just gave my camera tech three faulty ( as bought) Trip 35's and a re-skin package as he is happy to make me a fully working frankenTrip out of the three. They are great cameras, so I hope your Trip gives you some sweet results.

I'm hoping this little baby is ok off the bat, but if it needs some repairs, so be it. Hmmm, your mentioning of re-skins has me toying with the idea - maybe in a natty brick red!

Oh yes! You had the same front come through, I believe. Thankfully, the weather has (finally) calmed down, and I can actually see blue sky today, so this week is looking very good!! Might head out later in the week to get it out and about again.

Just picked up a Nikon F3 and a 50mm 1.8. This camera feels so substantial in my hands. I've already taken a few shots and I can already tell I'm going to enjoy shooting with this camera.

LOL, still neat! I was just re-watching Stranger Things and noticed he was using a Pentax. After some Googling it seems it was a Pentax ME? At first I thought it was the K1000 but that's because of my lack of familiarity with the line of Pentaxes :\

The producer said it was an MX... but he obviously know nothing about Pentaxs! The MX has a small aperture window above the nameplate, that's an ME. *Thumbs up

Drool...

 

[sabredog]

I was very happy to obtain this for A$23 but was astonished with the as new condition when it arrived. I am not sure it has ever been used or has only had a roll or two at the most through it.
