What was the first print?

Plenty of adaptalls on Ebay at reasonable prices. I was thinking of buying a 28-80 and a 70-210 but eventually decided on the 35-135. It should cover most things (get me close to the pandas) and saves having to carry 2 big lumps around everywhere.

Deathly Hallows Pendant, I wanted something with curves, straight edges and something that can spin.

Well finally finished the Certo, and figured out the focus adjustment. FINISHED can you Adam and believe it. Got a roll of FP4 out of the fridge for tomorrow. Won't have much fiddling time for a wile yet alas.

[Kenzie]

Bet you are glad to have finished that at last! I had a Super Paragon 135mm F2.8 turn up for the the FX-D along with a 2x teleconverter. Both with fungus. Cleaned and reassembled the teleconverter but need to sort the SP out. Off for a few days now and hoping it doesn't rain tomorrow so I can do some shooting and maybe even take my SV out after being stood still since April.

Did you get some ammonia and peroxide? Yeah have been uber-careful with the Certo; when I couldn't get the focus re-threaded I thought I was possibly doomed. Might find a few mins to look at the Minimatic that came just before hols.... I am thinking the non-responsive meter my be linked to the jammed shutter button. On my Contessamat (Tenax is maybe the same) as you pres the shutter it locks the exposure meter in place to set the aperture. So if that can't release, the needle won't move.

No, I just used lens cleaner. If it were a lens then I probably would have used the right stuff, but its easy enough to dismantle if the fungus comes back. Your Minimatic may have a trapped needle for setting the aperture, so if the shutter is stuck then you may need to dig into it.
Just seen your Flickr pic, there could be tons of different positions for the lens to screw back on. Think I'll leave mine alone!

Just printed a Pentax body cap. Now printing 120 to 35mm adapters. Currently printing a lens adapter to fit my Lomo Diana lenses onto my Lomo Konstructor.

The Lomo print failed, will have to try again. Picked up a Vivitar 135mm f2.8 in what I think is Canon fit. Also a mechanical screw in self timer.

One for me:



One for Yoko:

Thanks. I've read a couple of articles and they all seem to rate it.
By the sound of it, your 3d printer is going to come in really useful.

[Kenzie]

They fit perfectly in the pocket. Will likely be taking mine to London. Want to shoot film but not have to lug too much around. Also good for street shooting as the shutter is whisper quite.
Will you keep it or give it to your friend?

Not sure. I'll have a play with it myself first and then decide. I like the idea of it being small and pocketable.
