Ricohmatic 225. I bought this off Ebay this past summer as "tested -- works!!" but the film advance was not working at all. Not sure what kind of testing the seller did. I got it for cheap though, so I sent it off to Mark Hansen in Wisconsin for a CLA and fix of the film transport. Just got it back yesterday. I will run a roll of film through it tonight to test it, but all looks god so far.
This was the same camera my father had when I was a kid. I played with it lots and it still kept shooting, and eventually I learned photography on this camera, so I am thrilled to have one in working order.

Oh man, I'm jealous. I want an S2A very much. But I can;t justify more cameras right now.

Nice, I am intrigued by large format photography, but I have so far fought off the urge.

Love it, what kind of rail camera is that?

I didn't realize that was a replacement, though it makes sense, now that you mention it. Mounting seems to be fine.

Pentax MX by Nate Birkholz, on Flickr
Just arrived today, via the forums. Shutter speeds sound about right, the meter is dead-on accurate based on testing so far! Sure is a cute little thing.

Nice find, you've got quite the stable of bodies and lenses, have you counted?

I used a well-worn one of these on the high school yearbook, great camera.

Petri 7S by Nate Birkholz, on Flickr
Picked up a Petri 7s. I like the general handling of the camera, very simple and straightforward, though the rangefinder patch isn't very high contrast. I wonder if a cleaning would help that. Was happy to buy this from someone who actually used it, as opposed to random sellers online who just pick up cameras at estate sales and sell them untested. The light meter seems slightly inaccurate when compared to my iPhone light meter app, though I shot a couple examples following the light meter's recommendation and the photos turned out okay if slightly underexposed. Looking forward to experimenting more with it.

A local store had one of those I was hemming and hawing over. I recently discovered that the store went out of business, I likely missed a chance to pick it up cheap.

There is a crucial typo there. :)

Yeeks, that sounds dangerous. The issue here seems to be that the cam for the Jupiter seems smaller in diameter than the cam for the Industar.
