No idea I'm afraid. I'm out of my comfort zone with these.

Yoko, have you cut your own camera skins? Thinking about buying a sheet and cutting my own for the XG-E.

yokohama · 02-03-19, 07:06 PM

No, I've never tried; always bought pre-cut ones.
Getting the overall dimensions with careful measuring wouldn't be so hard but curvature around the lens mount and self-timer and film holder cut outs would be more difficult.
Getting the old skin off intact and using that as a template or to make a template would be the best way to do it I guess.

The skin has shrunk so I'll need to do a paper template. At the cinema tonight to watch a 40th anniversary screening of Alien.

Re. the Zeiss, it's the 6x9 Mess Ikonta, and has a red T Tessar which are unusual. The 6x6 with a Novar go for about £30, the 6x9 with any lens go for quite a lot more, more like £100 I think. My 6x6 with a Novar lens has produced some great pictures.

Just picked up this bundle. Pentax MX with 40mm f2.8, Nikon F600 with Nikkor 50mm f1.8 and an OM1n with 50mm f1.8. There are a couple of point and shoot bridge cameras but I won't be keeping them. Might keep the OM1 as its better than a couple I have. Will move on the others. By others, I mean other OM1s.

That's a good bundle and a nice pancake on the end of the MX. How many OM1s is that now?

Kenzie · 03-03-19, 07:15 PM

Er... Five. I'll probably sell two. Anyone interested? The 40mm is tiny! I've put the Nikon lens on to my other FM for now, but I may track down an FE.

Good shout Johnny, the Mess went for £99.
