Dunno- no pic of front lens and possibly no 'filter' on the back, or caps or anything we shall see!!!

Hey Zav - this was my first 'real' (not toy) camera purchased about 1972 - without the hibiscus print - had it for approximately 10 years then left it on a park bench in Tokyo - in 1983. Replaced it eventually with a canon T50 SLR but immediately missed the manual functions.

I went for it as I needed a film point and shoot. Funny enough my desk neighbour has one as well. The hibiscus print is a just a bonus!

Not a camera but maybe some "models" if I feel like photographing some more plastic people. A BFC Ink 18" doll, a 18" Babysitters Club doll, a Teen Trends doll, and a 1982 Steffie Barbie all came my way this past week. Also some kind of designer Halloween ragdoll, a green witch that looks very like Barbara Streisand playing the bad witch from Oz! I've been trying to find her online all week but so far the only ones I can find that are anything like her are by this designer who charges $100 a pop for them. It looks like it might be one of hers maybe, but I am not sure. I sent her an email and pic asking. The doll was made in the early 90's. Could be it was an early one of hers.

I'm kind of laughing at all the 18" girls that are seemingly coming my way. I was never much into dolls that resemble little girls but I seem to be catching up on collecting those now. People keep throwing them at me and I can't say "no" to free dolls whatever they might be. The Steffie Barbie is more my thing and I really like that Barbie sculpt. She's about the same age as my 80's Midge so she's one of the older Barbies in my collection now.

Maybe I'll do a little doll photo session this weekend.

I'm taking a break from washing dishes. In a corner of the living room sits a box from B&H which almost certainly contains a brand new Sigma 500/4.5. I'm tired and it's too late to do a methodical (some might say, "ritualistic") opening of the package. In the morning, with a cup of coffee, I'll attend to it with appropriate care.

UPDATE: OMG!

I´ve ordered a Marumi 49mm polariser (highly recommended on Lenstip), though unforunately it won´t arrive before my trip to Paris next weekend. It will be nice to have a high quality polariser, as the larger ones I have now are fairly cheap. It´ll be small & neat on my M lenses & DA 35 ltd too

.

My M42 to K adapter has now arrived too, though as yet no lenses to try it out with.

You probably don't need that polariser much in Paris as autumn is coming and the weather will most likely be cloudy and greyish...

I really miss Paris, I lived there for a year but I worked most of the time so I dind't travel at all

Is there anything worse than getting a new lens in the mail on a rainy day?

deadwolfbones · 10-14-2011, 12:38 PM

Bought my third Vivitar 28/2.8 Close Focus (my second in Nikon mount--equivalent to the K02).
