can I ask you, how much did you pay for the om3?

These 35mm cameras don't take up much room.

I always thought about doing a rental service for these but I know what people do to rental cars and I want to keep these in working order!

Found this not too common Topcon Beseler B (about 1959?) that was sold as-is, non-working, parts only camera. It is in good cosmetic shape, lens and viewfinders are clean and clear, and everything seems to be working except the slow shutter speeds seem to drag. Perhaps a little exercise will get the old joints going . . .

It is an interchangeable viewfinder type released about the same as the Pentax K and before the Nikon F. It is bigger and heavier at 814g compared to the K @ 575g and F @ 694g, without lenses.

The Ricoh Singlex is still my heaviest at 826g.

Agreed ... that would be great !!! Salut, J

I do not at this time. However, I have compiled these images by year. I have tried to make sure they are similarly sized. The bellows and motorized version are similarly sized among themselves. Please note that I have gotten rid of most of the ones without a gridded background for one reason or another.

I didn't know the MZ-60 had MLU.

My modest working set of Sigma lenses.

**arnold** · 10-28-2014, 08:56 PM

I showed these a page or so back, but now that they are cleaned up and working, I thought they were worth showing again.

Out of curiosity, the S-50 intrudes into the viewfinder? And is it tightly fitted to the lens? I've bought the S-60 for my f1.2 and it's loose AND covers 1/3 of the finder.

You are welcome.
The compilation by year is more interesting to me but I also compiled it by manufacturer and year below.

That is why "vented" hoods are so popular.

Are you asking if the Canon hood shows in the viewfinder? Yes, but it is just the bottom right corner so is not much of a problem. It is attached by a screw clamp and is very firm on the lens, See here https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/8-pentax-film-slr-discussion/217364-gear-...ml#post2984796

Here you can see how much they charge for the original vented hood of that lens:

Original Lens hood for Canon 50mm f1.2 F/1.2 Leica screw mount Lens LTM M39 L39 | eBay

I wonder how expensive the 0.95 mm hood would be...

The original hoods are of course expensive and collectible, but im sure a ventrd hood that just wprks cant be more than $50.
