Cue the music. bow chicka wah wah.

My somewhat feeble but beautiful and collectable Fish-Eye Takumar 18mm F11 is not so great for taking out, so I thought I'd shoot the display case using it.

Upper and middle left - Takumar and SMCT
Upper right - K series
Middle right - M series
Lower right - A series and various refurbished ready for sale.
Bottom - NOS and dealer items.

This is about 1/4 of the collection. Don't have room to display it all.

Sort of. I certainly consider myself a 'conservator' and take great pleasure in repairing and restoring old ones back to best usefulness. It's sort of an antidote to disposable consumerism to fix up and use fine instruments that will likely outlast me.

More Canon gear ... 5€ at my thrift store and it's like brand new.

Cool brown case and it had the typical AE-1 "squeak", but I fixed that easily ... xpost

My ME and some others... Still looking to increasing the collection. I'm just picky about the condition cos I still use (most of) them. Tho I don't mind some bumps and scratches.

Nice catch and great job getting it back in service. I didn't realize they made these cases for these cameras!

Myself,I first care that it all functions as intended then I look for a keeper version.

yeah, pretty much. But I've already gotten some pretty nice deals because of marks (big and small) that wouldn't affect function in any way. I think I care much more about those in lenses than in bodies.

I agree since lenses will more directly influence your results and they also hold their value better.

Yeah, I have never seen one like this, brown with black piping, burgundy brown felt interior.

It's marked on the bottom of the wrap around cover " AE 1 ** ", then below "MADE IN TAIWAN", then "R.O.C. (A)* ...

* = a circle A
** = unreadable due to crackling, maybe " 75 " ???

I think I may have one very similar looking case - but much older camera, and I attribute the excellent condition of the camera because of it. I would definitely like to get some of this type of cases for some of my other cameras too.

I do not think that I have shown this one ... a light weight at only 767g according to my kitchen scale.

Merci Les for the link ... had not seen that page.

Took me a minute (or two) to figure a few things out. It's really full of quirks for a brick ...

That is a steal. Love the condition and case.
