Are you getting a bit camera shake there? Some are a lot clearer than others.

I've had a pop at the lens on the K2 I bought but if anything I've made it worse. It still won't adjust past f8, now a bit dodgier still, and it is focusing too short. I can't find any info on the web about it (Pentax 50mm f1.2), am going to have to mull it over for a while.

Yeah, I think I may have set the shutter speed too slow on that one. Just put some Fuji in the AE-1. Also bought a film scanner from Amazon. Does 35mm and 110.

I bought the bits from Maplin to make a shutter speed tester, all came today. I still have to sort out a Zeiss Ikon Contessamat SBE which has grotty (probably fungus'd) lenses and sticky innards. My 120 folder is also said to run a bit slow so I can find out how slow as well. When I get my backside around to it.

Hahaha, good for you! Nice Trip BTW

Re: Vintage film cameras
 

Got myself a film scanner. Not too bad for the price. Need to fiddle to get the best results. Just waiting for a set of light seals for the Trip as they have gone to mush.

I used some of this to replace the mirror brake on the MX and Super A as they turn to mush with age

That's half the fun! I saw a Super Ikonta with an Opton Tessar lens on ebay last night, but it really looks like it's been exhumed.
