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

[Yashica]

Oldest one: Zeiss Ikon Icarex 35 BM, Yashica TL Electro X ITS (black). Newest - Fujifilm X-T1. Latest one, bought my missing 5D II again after many years, for a real bargain, it was even much cheaper, than the usual price for a used, original 5D. Low shuttercount, mint condition.

Just received a Yashica FX-3 with a 50/2 lens. Nice camera in great condition - but what was I thinking!
Need to be selling not buying!

I will replace the covers and pass it on.

Haha, i know exactly that feeling. I have the FX-3, FX-3 Super, FX-3 Super 2000 into my collection. The ML 50/2 is ok. Not truly a great prime, but small & handy, almost a pancake, so for street, good enough...and these lenses cost next to nothing, i remember i've seen my ML 50/2 for as low as 10 bucks, 15 incl. shipping. I never bought that lens on purpose, but the 50/1.7 ML. Problem with the FX-3 series as well as the CONTAX 139Q, or 137 MA/MD series is - the faux leatherette cover is detoriating over the decades, one must replace it.

A chrome Pentax MX.

Nice. It was my #1 35mm SLR back into 87.

I own, thanks to G.A.S, 3x a FX-3 Super 2000, floating around somewhere here into a drawer, even into mint condition, even one with original box. But i am from germany, and atm i don't sell these, thanks for your interest.

Ok no problem at all! That’s a good collection!

Agfa Karat 12
Came as part of a deal with an Isolette III that I really wanted.
Just finished cleaning it, and 3D printing the karat type cassettes for it. Loaded with Double-X
Lovely camera, hop to get those 13 exp y end of week.

I really liked the Karats, but not the film system... so I got a Karat 36 that uses standard 35mm film
Heligon 50/2.0 lens

I'm guessing this camera is film-ready.

Oh, and with the Zorki 2 you can totally break the "Golden Rule" and set the film speed without cocking the shutter.

I shot some Agfa APX 100 with this Zorki 2. Unfortunately there were some intermittent scratches on some of the negatives (and a tiny set of either scratches or curtain leaks in the bottom right corner of every negative). When I first loaded the camera, some chips came off of the leader and one must have stuck in the film chamber. Anyway, a chip came out when I cleaned the film gate.

Otherwise, I'm very happy with these shots. I had an Industar 22 when I got my first rangefinder (a Zorki 1) and I've been wanting one for a while.

Recently added a few new cameras. Won't keep them all but I can't see me parting with the first two once they have been serviced.

Ihajee Kine Exacta 1936

Zeiss Ikon Contax II 1936

Fed 3

Zenit E

 

[Yashica]

Nice Contax II!

 

[moggi1964]

Nice Contax II!

Thank you. I updated the post.

I'm lucky that the curtains are both in good condition so I'm hoping a service will be straightforward.

Yes, that always was being the issue with the Contax I & II...

Yashica T2, still working through my first roll

 

[Yashica]

A gift from a colleague.... w working meter & both lenses. View attachment 350422

Are you sure the lightmeter works? Because on 99% of all CL's, it's simply not working anymore, giving just false LM readings. Congrats for this nice Leica (Minolta) CL. All Leica CL have been produced into 1973-76 by Minolta, Japan...because of the Leica - Minolta joint venture back into the heyday, and it showed clearly "Made in Japan", and the later ones have been tagged as "Minolta CL" not Leica CL anymore. I own the successor, the 1980 introduced, and 1981 released Minolta CLE. Have fun with your CL - and hope to see some nice images.

 

[Yashica]

Latest one, just bought a long time sought after CONTAX T, for a reasonable price. Silber edition, but i am fine with that. Waiting for the delivery.

I’ve recently picked up a Konica IIIA with a 48mm lens. Very impressed with it so far, it’s a beautiful camera. The double stroke film advance on the front of it takes some getting used to, but once you’re warmed up to it everything flows seamlessly.

Yes it works. I had a '75 anniversary model also with a working meter (checked against handhelds)...when it failed, DAG repaired it. I had this one adjusted for modern batteries. photo exposed last week using built-in meter....

Excellent ! I've never seen that 50 year anniversary edition until now! I'd go with a voigtländer, since i can't afford a 35/2 'cron, and the framelines are for 28, 40 & 90 on my CLE...so it'll be a 40/1.4 MC "Classic", which is based on a ca. 67 'cron design, i don't find a M-Rokkor 40/F2 for a reasonable price. Only from Japan, and then comes customs, etc. So far, i've paid much (too much) for my CLE, but otoh, it does look like new, and into better condition with original box, than these "EXC+++++" CLE's directly from eBay Japan.

I am having a lot of fun with a Minolta MG 16, a Rollei a26 and a Kodak Bantam (fixed lens model). All perfectly functional all the way up to the flash units. I’ll post a lot about them on my instagram stories if you’re curious!

Need to get pictures, but sudden GAS resulted in my finding an Olympus MJU II for a steal on Craigslist and a Facebook marketplace find, Olympus 35 RC that while kind of dirty, fully working and waiting from an ebay seller to send me a replacement front lens element.
