I have wanted to try out the m 28 3.5. I have used the 2.8 a lot and it's a dog at infinity but pretty damn good clooser in. I wonder if other lenses are like this other than macros.

I already own an s2a, this recent acquisition doesn't have the model after the serial number, but based on the film advance nob I believe that it is also a s2a. If you do use the eye level viewfinder It is quite the arm workout to hold the camera that high.

I'll have the first roll finished today. I cant get the 135mm to stop down and the cameras flacking some foam from some where, but at the price I got everything for I have no complaints.

5$ thrift store find, banged up filter ring but the glass looks stellar. It's suprisingly one of the best made lenses I have ever handled. It feels like a million dollars. I can't wait to borrow my girlfriend's adapter and guess I will have to break down and buy a 40-50$ one myself. I'm not sure if it's worth trying to get the camera going or not, it's also a tank.

I havent posted in a long time, apparently I golf to much. I'm on vacation though and I found this for $60. It is in absolutely perfect condition, but I cant get the film advance to move, I imagine the shutter is frozen but if theres a trick that I dont know of let me know please.  |

Keep in mind I have large hands, but yea it's small especially folded up, certainly something that will fit in a good size pocket. It seems like a really nice camera minus the uncertainty of only using zone focusing.

I found a voigtlander vito 2 for 10 bucs at an antique store, it took me awhile to figure out the shutter wouldnt work without film inserted. It seems to work well, but I didn't change the light seals in my hast so the results aught to be interesting at the very least.

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.

Looks really clean, I like the black version, mine is chrome. I need to do the bumper on it too. It is for sure not the stealthiest of cameras, but my favorite 35mm that I own so far.

Cool. How do you keep the yarn in place?

I used foam. Really people use yarn? I think the foam I have is to thick, everything ends up little to tight.
Unix it's a full frame, I cant see how cameras could be any smaller and still fit the film canister.

35 Electro MC I picked up at a thrift store for 10 bucs today. It took about two hours to replace the light seals and clean out the battery compartment. There was so much black goo I think I'm going to see it in my dreams tonight, but a rolls going through tomorrow weather permitting.

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.

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.

The bare feet, cobblestone, and a colorful picture in the viewfinder make an interesting photo. Good work.
Also, I think i want a camera with a waist level viewfinder it looks fun.

Love the fast Ms. I have the 50 and 85 but not the 35 or the also fast 28 2 . I wonder why they didn't make an M 50 1.2.? That lens is easy to imagine.

Now if I could only get her working... conceding it could be user error. I like the slight yellowing.
