What have you just BOUGHT?

While I'm waiting for my Mojo to return, I ordered a very used Nikkor 35-70/3.5 manual focus zoom. It will be my second one--my first is now so loose it sounds like a percussion instrument in a Latin band. With the exception of the 43-86, many of the early Nikkor zooms are outright marvels. 25-50/4, 28-45/4.5--some sweet lenses there. The only downsides are their maximum aperture and dark screen focusing.
The 80-200/4.5 is up there also.

Try the 28-50/3.5 :)

My first FLE lens. Pretty awesome construction, while focusing the front element rotates but not the filter ring.
 
2 rolls 135-24 Kodak Tri-X Pan
2 rolls 135-24 Kodak Ultramax

Total cost about $44 from Freestyle Photo.

This film is for my daughter, for use on our short vacation trip at the end of June.
She has not yet used her Pentax MX camera, serviced by Eric Hendrickson last year.

SP is in nice shape overall. A little haze in the accessory finder, main finder is pretty good. Decent contrast for the second image, about the same as my S2. Looks like their is some film inside the protective glass on the front so I may try and clean that out.

The frameline operation is a little finicky though. They are sticking sometimes. Any recommendations for who CLAs the SP?

Hasselblad 45/4 to go with the 907x . Taken with the 500CM and CFV50 back that came with the 907. Keeping it in the family.

Lets see....
Beat up and some cleaning require Leica R 100mm 2.8 APO MACRO Elmarit. It's now on way to DAG. These lenses are out of my league expensive when mint. that's why I could pay very little on a whim.

EC-TL with H version 50mm 3.5 (w/ hood) and Zenzanon 150mm 3.5. Just came in. IT WORKS
Who ever says the the EC series is quieter than an S2/2a is joshing you.

The EC-TL is one sweet camera, if you can find one that's fully functional. Congrats on doing so! My EC is quieter than both of my S2a's (both CLA'ed), but only slightly. But it definitely shows less vibration when fired, with less mechanical craziness going on inside. The EC cameras are altogether more refined in features and performance, but definitely the less attractive of the two.
