I have a rather lovely (read old) Zenit 12xp and a set of third party lenses. Can I post it here?

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. Any ideas on which siteto use to post images, then link then here? The instagram square doesn't really work!

Flickr works well.

!

Why not? I also have a 1987 12XP with its stock Helios 44m, nice camera, very basic, often ridiculed but very capable.

You can post anything here. Just don't forget the NSFW warning!

I love Pentax kit so much but, I managed to buy an EF 85mm f/1.8 for £120. I definitely couldn't do that with Pentax, which is a real shame. Good job I can use both. I also got a MK 1 metal mount EF 50 1.8 for £50. There's so much EOS glass out there its dirt cheap. I'm not about to jump ship though because..I don't have to. I can shoot both.

Ha ha - I also got EOS gear because I got a lens cheap. In my case it was a Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 on an EOS 300 for €25. Since then I've added the EOS 30 and an M42->EOS adapter, nothing else yet. I was looking at the mk I 50/1.8 but by all accounts the new STM version is much better so I may just go for that.

I paid £125 for my Pentax M 85mm f/2 and I consider that cheap. Getting an AF Pentax fast 85 cheap would be virtually impossible as they almost don't exist - there's only the FA*.

I lucked out for a change. My local second store, which doesn't normally under-price stuff, sold me a M85/2 and a M20/4 for £95 each. I was pleased...

I was not planning on buying this, but...



(It's the 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 model, so I won't be shooting any sheet film with it, but it also has the 6x9 roll film holder.)

Nice one!

I am a very happy camper - I picked up this beautiful A35/2 lens for just £75 this weekend in a secondhand shop.

Nice find!

A roll came back, and I had taken this shot of my 6x6 cameras as a bit of a joke. Film is Eastman High Contrast motion picture stock, which is... interesting. Not only is it fairly slow, which means sharp and low grain, and (obviously) high contrast, it's also sensitized to blue but not yellow light. That last bit gave me some odd shots in the end, as parts of frames would be almost blown out even though they hadn't looked that way during shooting. (e.g. the back wall in this shot.)

They are, from left to right: a KW Pilot Super, a Meopta Flexaret IIa, IIIa, and Va, a Yashicaflex-A, and a Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16.
