Re: Vintage film cameras
Lovely camera. The original version by the look of it.

Re: Vintage film cameras
All seems to function ok, just need to test it. I would say this has hardly been used at all. The seller buys lots at auctions and they come across a lot of cameras. Kodak Brownies end up in the bin usually. But this is a gem of a find. Kind of makes the XG-M I have seem redundant.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Hi Bibs, that adapter won't work with a bridge camera. You would need a dslr for that. It looks to be a T2 adapter but you would need a T2 mount adapter to whatever camera you are using. The adapter you linked to would screw into something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/T2-LENS-M...8AAOSwEaJeAIxR

Re: Vintage film cameras
lets take the PowerShot i posted in the link. would the adaptor ring fit onto the end of the lens or does the lens come off and the adaptor ring fit in its place, then i would put the micro adaptor ring on the adaptor ring.. lol

Re: Vintage film cameras
Lenses on Bridge cameras are fixed so no ball there. Maybe micro four thirds? Older Lumix G1s can be had pretty cheap.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Panasonic...0AAOSwnSJdqdlM Use this adapter from mft to your scope adapter https://www.ebay.co.uk/c/594003574 https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4217656 https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4366155 Sent from my Xperia using Tapatalk

Re: Vintage film cameras
Picked up this retro looking Olympus Pen messenger bag off ebay, less than a tenner posted. Fits the camera with the 14-42 and 40-150 a treat.

Re: Vintage film cameras
That went over my head so I had to Google that. Made me laugh. Would I need an Adidas tracksuit too? Just picked up a Pentacon similar to the recent one as a possible parts camera. Was listed as faulty/spares as the mirror is getting stuck after each shot. It's a non auto return mirror...
