I have an SFX, SFXn and a couple of SF7s. Safe to say I like these '80s tanks! The second SF7 was about £7 with a Sigma 70-210mm zoom which has a horrible sticky mess where the grip should be, but the camera worked perfectly after dusting. I'm keeping my eyes open for an SFX eyecup as the n model's is missing.

Also have the AA battery grip for the SFX/SFXn, and the AF240FT flash. I'll get a photo of the complete outfit sometime.

I primarily shoot film. I am interested in street photography and till recently my main walk-around camera was k1000 with 43mm limited. I now use Z1-p with 43mm limited. My backup kit consists of Pentax Spotmatic F with SMC Takumar 55mm.
I own Pentax K1000, Pentax Spotmatic F, Pentax Z1-p, and Pentax PZ-1 .

Cheers, Kris.

This is an experiment because I never had an "automatic" camera, and I'm curious to see how it behaves, I chose this one instead of the T90 because at least it has just one program...and the owner's manual is 50 pages slimmer.

However, this is my humble Leica collection seen by my LX, it appears anyway that the DOF was unsufficient, the M3 and the IIIb are a little blurred.

I am pretty sure just having one Leica+lens already pushes it over humble let alone a collection . . .

Beautiful cameras and lenses!

The Nikon 35Ti was an interesting p&s due to its analog display and aperture priority preferred mode. Unfortunately, every now and then the display will require a reset as they would no longer respond correctly.

These were taken on Kodak Portra 400 using the Olympus OM-4T.

That 35ti is really cool. I want one. Unfortunately, they seem to be pretty pricey and I've hit my limit on photography related things unless I one, can get another job, or two, makes some money with said equipment. Neither of these is realistic.

Very nice looking camera! Is it powered by steam?

It looks like something a steampunk photographer might like.

My family can't figure out what to get me for my birthdays/Christmas anymore, so they usually hand me money and let me get what I want. This year I decided to spend some of the money on a Rolleiflex. This little guy arrived yesterday. If I didn't know what year it was made, I would not have guessed it was a 60 year old camera. The film spool in it is a metal Kodak one, and from the info I found, they stopped using metal spools since at least the 70s. I'm guessing it was stored in its case for a long time.

Here it is next to my Yashica 635. I'm going to have to get used to the ergonomics of the Rolleiflex, since the film advance and focus knobs are all on one side on the Yashica. The attention to detail in the Rollei makes it feel a little more substantial than the Yashica, but that's not to say the Yashica isn't a competent camera.

Definitely some cool factor in it but the lens is quite sharp!

Alas I have not been able to score a proper TLR but not for lack of trying either!
