Picked up a pretty nice copy of the Canon LTM 50/1.4 to use with my Canon 7 and Leica M2.

I’ve been pondering picking up a Canon 50/f1.4 for the M2...

I'll let you know how I get on with this one. It may be a bit large on an M2

For the most part it is in excellent condition. There is a small but noticeable scratch on the front element, which is why I ended up buying it. I wasn't really looking to get one, but ran across this one for a very low price that I couldn't pass up

Having too much fun on ebay lately....

Picked up the pair of MZ, the P30T and the fungus infested Yashica 35 cc separately for a bargain.
Also came across an FA 43mm that's sold at a low price, stated as "broken autofocus" by the seller.

My reaction instantly was "there's no way the lens' autofocus would break, there's no motor on the lens!" and decided to buy and give it a try. Turns out it works perfectly on the MZ-5. Just got a very capable autofocus lens!

Now I got more cameras than I have time to use them. XD

That looks to be quite a haul...the Autocord and Bessa III in particular.

If the Autocord's focus lever is hard to move, don't force it. They are easy to break. Have it cleaned and re-lubed first.

I actually had to give it back to the seller for repairs because of overlapping frames. But after that everything works fine, so far.

The shutter speeds are of older standards though, with speeds of 1/100, 1/50, 1/25, 1/10 and so on. So sometimes it's a bit weird to work with modern lightmeters.

Thanks Steve!
I actually traded a hasselblad 501c set for that Bessa iii, which I kind of regret now

Yes, that's why film cameras are so fun!

Until you have to move all said cameras, and still haven't unpacked all of them...
