Asahiflex

Good morning Asahiflex!



This photo is phantastic! I like it very much for its sharpness and fine natural colours. (I also like cats and she is a beauty).
I would like to ask you, if you could upload a 100% crop of the cat's head somewhere. I've got a fine art printer (HP B8850) and I'm curious how far one can get with such high-end input, if you don't mind.

Thank you & regards

Recently acquired from ebay, Pentax ES II, cosmetically and optically like new EXCEPT that Viewfinder blind is locked shut, and nothing I do (shutter-speed dial, battery-test button, exposure-compensation-dial, hitting it, praying) has any effect. I COULD just gestimate the distance frame bygolly, and shoot, and with that lovely Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 1.8/55, it would probably come out with a good photograph, ... but with such a beautiful TTL, it seems a shame.

I have an Asahiflex 1A with 50mm f3.5 and 135mm f3.5 lenses. The lenses tiny, shiny steel finished and are absolute gems. The camera is a charming old thing but the film advance knob won't turn and the shutter release does not operate. As the mirror is in the down position I have to think that the camera was put away cocked and has seized. It belonged to an elderly relative and was probably last used about 40 years ago!

I have an Asahiflex Ia (two flash terminals) that is going up for sale on eBay within the next few days to a week. This was sold to me by a friend who buys and sells to students, and as this one is missing the winding knob he couldn't sell it the usual way. I've had it for a few years and thought I'd look around to see what it might be worth. My eBay username is paceplane. Feel free to contact me and when I get to photographing it I will send you photos.
