Re: Vintage film cameras
Tell me about it. Clearly doesn't realise half the camera is missing!

Re: Vintage film cameras
But this is something new..it's a Tamron Adaptall 2 90mm 1:25. I've not seen one of these before.
It's a big macro with an extension tube and seems to be able to focus at about 3 inches. I don't think I'll have much use for it but who would? Fly tyers? Modellers? The ring flash attaches round the end of the lens to light up the subject. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Nice, you've been wanting one so am pleased for you. Interesting it has the shutter speeds around the barrel, I have a Pentax K2 like this, it needs work before I can use it. My Super A and MX have them on a knob where your exposure comp dial is - it's not nearly so friendly to change. f1.4 lens too, very nice. Looks good and clean too.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Yeah. Very clean. It's been looked after. Both lenses - on first glance - look almost spotless too. The camera needs new lightseals and is missing the little button that covers the motordrive slot on the bottom, exposing the winding mechanism but I can cover that up.
I've also now got a huge metal case. Have to work out what to do with that. Shutter speeds on the barrel and f stops at the end are confusing at first, but it makes manual mode much easier. Last edited by yokohama; 10-06-16 at 07:18 PM. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
It's a good looking thing. I'm still not exactly sure how it works and the instructions make it worse cos they don't correspond with the settings on the camera dials. I'll figure it out.
