Favorite Older Film Camera?

Blue · 06-02-2009, 03:00 PM

It looks like it could be a 135 f2.5 or an 85 f1.9 also.

yea that 35mm 2.0, but looking at the lens up close Im not sure that could be it.

You don't think it is a black spotty?

They made every thing with black as an option. If it is the same camera that is posted by Ned, it is not a Spottie because it wouldn't need the meter.

There was a black spotty on ebay a few weeks back, but the bidding got to rich for my blood. Boy if the right deal came along though.

The black SV and H3 getting kind of wild on the price as well.

No. looking at the profile of the shutter speed selector its pre-spotmatic. and I was thinking the lens could be a 120mm 2.8 it looks almost identical from a front perspective. but I certainly cant confirm it.

Thank you very much for the cam and the great deal!

welcome to the ME F family my friend. shes a beauty. though there is one problem. you have to find the AF lens. and oddly enough, I purchased the lens that was supposed to originally be sold with that body.

Oh how cool. Actually I was not going to use the auto focus anyway as I never use it on my film bodies. I am waiting on a Tokina 17mm lens that should be here today to find a home on this guy. I already have it loaded with some fuji 400 xtra. We actually have thunder and lightning today so I must take advantage of the bad weather to get some shots.

I have no intention of getting the AF 35-70mm f2.8 either unless I happen to get lucky.

I realize that. It has been said it was worthy of a * designation. I just don't want to lay out a ridiculous price for a lens that will only get used occasionally on one film body. I mean I have never done that!

I paid 100 bucks. which included a case, instruction manual both original caps and shipment from canada. not bad methinks.
