I was amazed to have not found another thread like this one, I thought I had previously started one here, but I couldn't find it, so I'll start this one.

Let's see it!

Where's yours?

goddo31 · 04-28-2010, 02:07 AM

Which one?

This is my main film body (see sig below), wearing the DA35Ltd for some fun

ytterbium · 04-28-2010, 03:58 AM

I might jump in with a few I've thought are interesting enough to photograph:

Flexaret IV, a nice Czech TLR by Meopta.

Canon Sure Shot A35F / Auto-boy.
I think it's an interesting camera, because it sits right on the transition between old good RF cameras and later all plastic P&S.
This one is the last that retains a fairly fast and sharp f/2.8 lens, manual ISO setting (can be effectively used as EV Comp.) but already has automatized all other functions. The next Sureshot already had something like f/3.5 or f/4.5 lens and fixed focus i believe.

I own more film-cameras than I can realistically use. But this thread comes just at the right time as I can now one after the other place my cameras in my little improvised macro studio at home. Here's one I took recently of what I consider the most elegant film body ever designed, Pentax or otherwise. It's also a very capable camera and was rightly considered Pentax's to-of-the-line model up until the LX came out. It's the camera I use most often. That is, until I get my LX's misaligned mirror fixed:

Soon to follow will be some non-Pentax models, such as an old Nikkormat FT and a Yashica Electro 35 GSN. Great bodies as well, none of which of course can touch Pentax however. ;-)

Cheers,
Tassilo

Is this really yours? Those large cameras amaze me. Spectacular devices. Simple in construction yet so flexible and powerful.
Some day..some day...

Can you show some pictures taken with it?

stevebrot · 04-28-2010, 09:57 AM

One good view camera deserves another...

Chamonix 045n-2, Caltar II-N 150/5.6

And...The Lynx Brothers...

Yashica Lynx 5000, Yashica Lynx 1000

Yest, it's really mine. I only have 5 lenses for it, a 65mm and 90mm Schneider, a 150 and 210 Nikkor and a 7" Aldus that is apparently a wonderful portrait lens. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

Well, the one behind it would be a start....
I'd have to take pictures of pictures to do that, which doesn't really show up what the big cameras are capable of.
