Weird looking camera, but f1.8? Nice. Manual control?
Yes, F1.8 and it has auto function and you can use the meter with manual modes...... Cleaned the crud out of the battery chamber and installed new battery..... Meter is working.....

Got a bunch of stuff off CL, had an MG1, a Yashica G, a Petri 17 half frame (not a RF but looks like one at first glance), Vivitar 35CA and a Kodak 35 with RF.
The Yashicas have film in them for testing now, the rest will be getting new seals and test rolls when I get back to California.

I just could not resist nice working XA for 10 euros on flea market. Never had XA, only XA2. I just cleaned it and put new light seals, on the weekend testing .

Just bought myself an early chtistmas present and XA and a Fuji GA645. I have a roll of Portra 800 in the Fuji right now.
I am looking on this XA in wonder: so small and it has full 35mm frame, aperture priority, manual focus, full coupled rangefinder, manual iso, +1.5 overexposure, shutter speed display, self timer, f2.8 lens ... no wonder it is considered "Mythical" .
.
XA, I will hunt one.
Olympus XA
Early Christmas present from my wife. Leica CL. Rated EX condition, looks EX+++ (not a single blemish on it). Now for the lens to arrive in the mail and I will be off shooting.
Certo Super Dollina 11 just arrivied, now for some dry weather to try it 0ut
New Retina Fan
My "new" Retina IIc arrived last Friday from my favorite on-line camera store. First roll shows excellent results; I am impressed. Don't know what got me on this Retina jag, but I really like the features of this basic, compact camera. No frills, but has everything needed to produce great pictures. The fold-up features the ability to slip it in my Levis pocket. Don't worry, I'm careful not to sit on my iPhone 6+ either!
I am most impressed with the build quality and craftsmanship of this Retina. Understanding that the entire line of Retina cameras over the years was never intended to compete with the "top line" manufacturers, Retinas were sold as the "everyman camera." A Ford in every garage and a Retina in every glovebox!
Still, my Retina is solid as a rock; a precision piece of engineering and construction.
Let's see how it works out . . . .

An EXA 35mm with the waist level viewer.
Absolutely the most beautiful 35mm camera EVER.
This one is really pretty and everything seems to work perfectly. I can't wait to fill it with film and take it out.

Kodak Retina II type 014 with f/2 S-K lens...
Rub on white numbers to add a focusing scale to my Speed Graphic for a 210mm lens.
I've got both of those ZM lenses (and the 25) but I'm using them digitally on an M240. I highly recommend them though! I'd love to try them on film but I'm only shooting 120 these days. I just can't be bothered to shoot anything but my Mamiya 7II, even my poor Hasselblad is just sitting on the shelf.

An Argus C3 for $5. I rebuilt the clockwork shutter speed mechanism and now it is halfway through a roll of Kentmere 100.
