Despite my best efforts, my film camera collection continues to grow.
Last week I was given this Minolta SRT 101 with 50/1.7, and today I was given another SRT 101 with a 55/1.7, as well as a Canon AE-1 with a FD 50/1.8

Nice gift(s) and I had one like this ... it looks great ... J

Mine has the all metal early MC Rokkor 58/1.4. I expect that the smaller and lighter 50/1.7 would be all the nicer.

A cheap and simple m42 to SR mount adapter (I have shown a genuine one but copies are available) will put a very nice and light takumar on these bodies.

The thought had crossed my mind!

My rare and cool XE-1, "I love its Panda look", produced in conjunction with Leica, it can be set to meter manually or aperture priority where the shutter is stepless. This camera is a joy to use.
The 28mm f2.5 Rokkor is also a favourite lens being very sharp even wide open.

Hey, what do you think about these?

Those Minoltas look like rangefinders that someone has smacked a prism housing upon. Cool!

That is very interesting. I'd be more interested if the plans were offered in AutoCAD format. But then I have AutoCAD and can open a file in that format.

The auction doesn't mention if there is only "one" available, or multiple. It does mention other models are available, and another coming "soon".

I see the person is in Greece. I suppose with the economic situation the way it is there, an innovative approach such as this is just the ticket!

Did anyone say "FF"? Here's a pair of Fs in minty condition!

One of the benefits of falling prices for film cameras...

Does anyone know what is the history of these ever-ready cases?

You mean the hard leather (as opposed to the softer version) cases? I know they were available in brown as well as black, though it has been a long time since I have seen one for Pentax.
