Re: Vintage film cameras
Yep, it's a big lump but only the LX was more fully-featured I think. Manual or aperture priority, mirror lock up etc. My only gripe is the focus screen which isn't split circle and needs a bit of surgery to replace. Vertical titanium shutter so very good and flash sync up to 1/125 (which is likely to be a real 1/90).

Re: Vintage film cameras
I got out to the coast at the weekend and fired off a few shots on a film I've had in a Ricoh 500 for 2 years.
Scanner arrived today, beautifully packaged. It looks really neat and I like the way it packs up in a carrycase. Busy at work this week so I'll wait until the long weekend and decide which computer to install it on. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Glad it arrived ok. Very small but very good scanner. Hope it works well.

Re: Vintage film cameras
I can bore you to tears with 30 year old negative scans.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Fine by me. I have old slides that I found at car boot sales.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Make sure you install the drivers first and then the scanning software. Gets a bit grumpy if you don't. The catch on the negative holder can be a little tight so be careful. My X500 and Yashica T3 were both loaded two years ago too.

Re: Vintage film cameras
The lenses arrived today, I got everything I mentioned so quite a few. The Pentax 50mm f1.7 will pay for the lot. The let-down is the Sonnar; it's a bayonet mount for God knows what. He was also selling a nice Contax so I assumed that it was the same mount, and a scan of ebay for a value looked like all the ones like that were Contax mount. I think they're all fine.
Think I might have a film loaded last year but not sure! Got 2x120 to develop, and 2x35mm to finish but one only has a few shots left. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
See facebook, just tagged you. It is a Contax mount, it's like the normal one for the 50mm plus a big flange over the outside. Once it's on it covers up the focus scale etc. as that's only for 50mm anyway, and it has its own. Here it is
https://www.facebook.com/john.rodrig...57575896543829 Front and back need a clean but the internal glass looks fine and it feels nice. Need a finder of some sort I guess, but I also need to make the Contax work! Chuffed now |
