And here she is. Advertised as "Minty", though the taste is nowhere near spearmint or any other variety I know of . She is however in very fine fettle. Counter shows 100 shots! Counter displays no of shots taken in steps of 100, so could be closer to 200 for all I know. Having said that, Fuji claim that up to 200 test shots may be fired off before boxing, so this camera is most likely never used in anger.

Congrats on the GA645Wi, Erik !!
The original (rectangular) FUJI lens hood is rare and a pricey, but a Nikon HN-1 hood (52mm screw-on) fits perfect.
I never leave home without one of my FUJI's ... ( sorry for digital content

I also have a GA645 with a FUJINON 60mm f/4 lens - I can recommend this one too. A really nice set-up for travelling and hiking.

Ezzie · « **Reply #1852 on:** August 12, 2015, 10:49:39 PM »

Thank you indeed. She is fun to use. Very nice in the hand, beautiful finder, and controls where you would expect them (having used more modern SLRs for example).

You mentioned the 60mm version as pairing, I have had the same thoughts myself. These two could do away with the need for quite a lot of other gear. I may very well consider it. Nice to know I am not alone in my madness

I bought three cameras at 10 PM locally last Friday. A first!

Two FSU (one East German, one Ukranian), including this FED-5V with a Jupiter 8 (the lens is what I was after, though it's my first LTM body and that's exciting, too):

...and a pre-war Japanese Gelto-DIII:

Anyone have a 127 film to recommend?

SLVR · « **Reply #1854 on:** August 14, 2015, 08:33:16 PM »

just picked up a beautiful black paint M4. Looking forward to getting through some rolls with it this weekend.

Chalky · « **Reply #1855 on:** August 14, 2015, 09:50:28 PM »

two very old magic lantern projectors, one with 10" petzval and one with roughly 7 inch. Beautiful things. May sell the 10" as it's a bit long for my speedgraphic.... first ever win in an auction that wasnt online!

Peter84 · « **Reply #1856 on:** August 16, 2015, 02:04:26 PM »

A serious can of Film! 1000ft of Orwo DN1. A dup-negative film, No sign of when it was expired, but by the looks of it, it probably is....
Contents are in a black paper bag so that is hopefull. Gonna need more bulkloaders since I've got some bulk stock queing up

jojonas~ · « **Reply #1857 on:** August 17, 2015, 07:51:13 AM »

Long anticipated and finally at my doorstep - a 4x5 fisheye TLR!

...okay, just kidding. I hadn't even imagined something like this before I saw it haha wow. more pictures here: http://www.half-fast.com/

Francois · « **Reply #1858 on:** August 17, 2015, 02:04:07 PM »

Very gowlandflex inspired...

Andrej K · « **Reply #1859 on:** August 17, 2015, 10:31:39 PM »

That's an interesting thing you've go there, Jonas! I could imagine playing with a camera like that - but maybe I'd be content with just one half of it and making a sort of point and shoot version..

just joking, I got no such thing

I would like one though! a bit big for a "one trick pony" but it'd be a fun one at that.

the arsat lens seems to cover those polaroids pretty well as a circular fisheye

Francois · « **Reply #1861 on:** August 18, 2015, 02:34:49 PM »

It's probably a lot cheaper to get a fisheye lens for 35mm.
From memory, sigma and tokina made some pretty good circular fisheyes that sold at a decent price...

Ezzie · « **Reply #1862 on:** August 18, 2015, 02:52:20 PM »

Don´t laugh, I'm making one of those. Or something remotely similar. Remember? http://www.filmwasters.com/forum/index.php?topic=7411.0

Francois · « **Reply #1863 on:** August 18, 2015, 05:58:19 PM »

It's been a while since I haven't got anything remotely new, but this time I have something that will have you scratching your heads!

I just got this, who can tell me what it is?
10 points to the first one with a correct answer

jharr · « **Reply #1864 on:** August 18, 2015, 06:02:56 PM »

Film canister opener??

Francois · « **Reply #1865 on:** August 18, 2015, 08:44:01 PM »

Bingo!
And we have a winner!
I'm surprised it didn't take longer than that...

Yes, it's a 35mm film can opener. Funny thing is I found it at the bottom of a junk bin at the antiques shop and got it for a good price since the owner didn't know what it was for. After I had paid the 2$ he asked me for it, I asked him if he knew what it was for and told him. He replied that if he had known he would have asked more for it... typical but in the end I got the tool.

BTW, it opens those crimped cans real easy and I never have to look for my opener in the dark.

Bryan · « **Reply #1866 on:** August 18, 2015, 09:17:11 PM »

If it opens beer bottles you're in business to start developing with Beerol!

Francois · « **Reply #1867 on:** August 18, 2015, 09:19:14 PM »

Wouldn't work... the opening is too big...

Bryan · « **Reply #1868 on:** August 18, 2015, 09:34:45 PM »

That's ok, cheap beer usually has twist of lids.

M4... you know, it's way over rated. If you want to trade it for my Fed, you'll be happier and find it is much nicer than your Leica

Nice try Francois, I'm offering two Zorki's.

Don't drop it, I hear they can break stuff.

The 135 was offered at a very nice price so I had no excuse

Volker · « **Reply #1875 on:** August 20, 2015, 04:14:54 PM »

@Aksel: what a wonderful lens

After i decided not to buy additional cameras, lenses and film (fridge overflow) in the near future
i acquired some useful darkroom equipment.

A Jobo ATL 2200 (after an intensive cleaning and new chemistry bottles everything works fine)

Two! Jobo Printlab 3504 (i thought i've bought one, but the guy gave me both, one rarely used :-)

Francois · « **Reply #1876 on:** August 20, 2015, 08:42:16 PM »

Holy Macaroni!
You're really going for it in the large volume processing department!

Bryan · « **Reply #1877 on:** August 20, 2015, 09:24:29 PM »

Volker, when can we start sending our film to you for processing?

Aksel · « **Reply #1878 on:** August 21, 2015, 08:04:29 AM »

Volker wins hands down! What a machine, how much film do you have to develop before that thing makes sense to own (the super cool geek factor set aside)

Volker · « **Reply #1879 on:** August 21, 2015, 10:30:00 AM »

Hi Bryan,

no problem. I'll send you a download link afterwards and keep the negatives :-)

Aksel, it aways depends on different factors
- the price you paid for it :-D
- the resale value
- always constant results
- saving of time (up to 6 rolls simultaneously)
- sheet film comes out perfect
- C-41, E-6 (accurate temp isn't a problem)
- etc....

Andrej K · « **Reply #1880 on:** August 21, 2015, 05:33:59 PM »

That's a nice darkroom assistant, Volker! Congratulations!
I can understand the appeal of it - I briefly had a humbler sibling the CPE and got rid of it, because the lack of automation meant that it needed practically constant attendance. If I had space for it, I think I would hunt for an ATL as well - especially for sheet film, as you say...

zapsnaps · « **Reply #1881 on:** August 24, 2015, 11:30:02 AM »

5 rolls of Astia 120, prompted by Late Developer's post on using slide film

Ezzie · « **Reply #1882 on:** August 25, 2015, 01:31:02 PM »

Two FD lenses from Aksel. An FDn type 28/2.8 and an S.C. 35/3.5

film... you know why

thatguychad · « **Reply #1884 on:** August 29, 2015, 01:07:03 AM »

I won't even tell you what I paid for these...

Pentax Auto 110 Super w/20-40mm f/2.8, Braun Super II w Steinheil 50mm f/2.8, Agfa Optima 500 (just because it was in the lot), Rollei 35, Rollei 35SE.

Bryan · « **Reply #1885 on:** August 29, 2015, 05:12:55 AM »

That Braun is interesting, I've never seen one of them before. I looked it up and I understand you can get different lenses for it. What lens mount is it or does it have a proprietary one?

I have a few Nizo 8mm movie cameras that are very well built. Nizo was bought out by Braun when they started making super 8 cameras which were also top of the line.

I assume it's a proprietary mount (I just found out the same information), though it is just a screw mount. I need to clean the rangefinder window inside and out, but other than that, it's in very good condition. I wish I had found this deal earlier, I paid about three times what I did for these 5 cameras as I did for my one Rollei 35S.

02Pilot · « **Reply #1887 on:** August 29, 2015, 12:50:44 PM »

The Paxette uses a 39mm 26tpi screw mount, same as Leica, but the focus registration is different, so you can't interchange the lenses.

Ezzie · « **Reply #1888 on:** August 31, 2015, 06:55:23 AM »

Nice camera the Paxette. Had I been more of a 135 type I would have started collecting the whole system. Stephen Gandy is very smitten with the diminutive Braun (a bit heavy though he says, due to it's allergic reaction to plastic

) : https://www.cameraquest.com/braun.htm

Aksel, will be posted tomorrow

I think the diameter if the hole for the lens board will be about 71mm... You may want to wait and measure accurately!

You should say "new tank in town" instead!

kentish cob · « **Reply #1895 on:** September 01, 2015, 09:36:41 PM »

A wise investment, Macfred.
I absolutely love my F4... heavy, but nicely balanced.

She looks in terrific condition.
I'm sure you'll be very happy together.

Francois · « **Reply #1896 on:** September 02, 2015, 08:17:12 PM »

I just got what is probably the funkiest set of macro bellows out there!
It's a Minolta Auto-Bellows 3 with the 100mm lens. OK, there was a bit of fungus on the edges of the lens which I had to remove, but overall it's in good shape.
All it's missing is the odd double ended cable release that came with it.
But take a look at this beauty. And this is only one of the many tricks it's got up its sleeve!

Kayos · « **Reply #1897 on:** September 02, 2015, 08:20:20 PM »

That looks awesome Francois, bet you can get some interesting perspective effects with that?

Francois · « **Reply #1898 on:** September 02, 2015, 09:13:32 PM »

Probably does.
It's got lateral shift and horizontal tilt, a rotating camera mount, rotating front standard to use the lens in reverse, removable focusing rail that transforms into a flash holding device, a slide/negative holder (not pictured) with hidden bellows held by a magnetic latch... pretty neat.

Indofunk · « **Reply #1899 on:** September 02, 2015, 11:37:09 PM »

That looks amazing. All I would know to do with it would be to put it on my desk and stare at it for a long time
