Picked up a very nice CZJ 28/2.8 with an unfortunately jammed BMS cheap off French evilBay ... another in the CZJ stable ... and maybe I can heal the BMS; the meter works ... oh well, we'll see. J (x-post)

Man, every time I see one of those 40/2.8 pancakes I want to get one and stick it on an M_ camera for a pocketable shooter. (I have only the ME Super SE so far.) I should just go buy-it-now one of them since they're pretty affordable lenses; scouring auctions carefully and waiting patiently for months will probably save me $8 or something like that, which I could more quickly save by foregoing a few coffees.

Dave,

Something like this? Here is just a little encouragement for you...

This M40/2.8 had problems that I was able to fix (separation of the lens cement between two elements). This makes a nice little combo, and is fun to use. I think the M40/2.8 is a better lens than some credit it.

This combo is convenient -- here is an example photo taken at our local summer fair (my son-in-law getting dunked at a fund-raiser booth).

MX:M40/2.8:Tri-X in Rodinal scanned with Epson V500.

ARGGHHH, yes like that. Stop that!

Yes sometime I'll get one. But it won't happen soon since I'm off on a Minolta bender at the moment.

Did you remove the black finish and anodize some parts different colors?

Whatever he did he did good!

Yes, among other modifications. For example, the Canon was converted to K mount, and the Sears was converted to standard m42 from SX.

I like the Super Tak on the Spotmatic a lot.

Pawnshop find Zanza Bronica s2a. It didn't have a darkslide so I wasn't able to test the shutter. I really rolled the dice and made out pretty well, my first roll came back looking good.

Yeah, those Zenzas are a pain with the darkslide. If I recall, you can't unmount the film cartridge without a slide, either.

No you cant, i don't think it's going to be easy to find one without buying the whole back either. Your lens mods look beautiful by the way.

Sweet find. I have an S2 and it's one of my favorite cameras ever. The Nikkor-P 75/2.8 is superb.
