Great collection. what lens is on the S1?

Good spotting there. It came with a malfunctioning 55/2.2 Auto Tac (aperture spring disintegrated), and I happened to have a preset CZ Jen. 50/2.8 (beautiful silver metalwork) as a spare, and it made a perfect partner. (I tried a SMC Tac to see if it would work on auto, but it jammed on the pin at wider apertures.) Unlike the H2, you can't adjust the throw of the tripper. I thought the S1 was supposed to handle auto lenses.

Here's my very recently acquired EOS 300 with Tamron 28-75 f/2.8. I cleaned up the lens and now it looks almost mint. Not bad for €25.

The camera now has a roll of FP4+ in it.

I suspected this could happen using fully auto diaphragm lenses on the older models where the linkage was only designed to trip the latch in a semi-auto lens. Pushing against the diaphragm return spring takes more force than just tripping a latch.

Time for shots of my TLRs.

Lovely selection. All new to me except for the Diachord which looks like mine. What lens is in the Retina? (Tessar type?)

It has an 80mm f3.5 Anastigmat but Can't find info telling me what design it is. The other lens Reflex's also came with was the Anastar 80mm f3.5 which is a 4-element Tessar.

@Nesster is very fond of his. Here is a link to his Flickr album:

That's a nice selection, the Mamiya makes the others look so cute...

I only have one TLR but at least it's a nice one:

Oh well, I can only use one at a time anyway...

Terrible phone photo, but: found this at a local flea market. Probably not going to keep the body — it's a rebadged TX, and I already have two better FD-mount bodies — but it was priced low enough that it would have been a steal just for the lens, and that's what I wanted it for anyway.

I guess this would be soft core porn, or even an R rated movie, yet here it is... the latest two additions to my stable.

My new dedicated portrait lens; the Takumar 83mm f1.9. This baby weighs a hefty 326g and feels pretty solid on my '58 K. Should be a nice pairing with Delta 400 for indoor portraiture.

... and it's in an amazing shape--congratulations! Would it be impolite to ask how much you payed for it? Looking forward to your shots.

Beautiful, I see you got the hood for the K105/2.8 as well!

Impressive how clean it looks after all those years, cannot have been used a lot.
They don't show up often.

(Pardon the cross-post, those of you who read RFF.)

Mamiya C330 Professional S + Mamiya-Sekor 135mm f/4.5; MiNT InstantFlex (+ fixed MiNT 61mm f/5.6); Beautyflex Super D (+ fixed Biokor 80mm f/3.5); Rolleiflex 2.8E (+ fixed Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2.8). The MiNT is new, full stop; and the Beautyflex is new to me.

Photographed with the Sony a7 + adapted MC Rokkor-PF 58 mm f/1.4. Lit with a dim reading lamp; 30sec exposure at ISO 400.
