I looked at it but gave it a miss in the end, not really sure why I was looking at it!

Sorry, forgot I wasn't supposed to tempt! Should have listened to myself as I picked up an Olympus 50mm f1.4 in need of a service, hope I get lucky! The trim is back on the Pen D, just need to recheck the focus as I had to pop the lens off to see what what wrong with the double exposure lock.

Got the Contina through today, issue wasn't the lack of film, it was a fully engaged but stuck self timer. With a bit of gentle teasing it ran and now fires ok. Just needs a good clean. Also gor my Zenit ES for the Photosniper kit so that is basically complete now.

Cleaned up really well.

That was my other thought, at some point. Good, nice when they're easy enough. Tiny aren't they!

Much smaller than I was expecting. Going along the lines of 35mm folders, there is a Super sollinette on the bay, it's got a coupled rangefinder so might be up your street. 153261971190

Looks nice, f3.5 is a bit slow but a decent lens. I have 2 or 3 super Silettes upstairs in need of CLA. Nice bright VF/RFs.

Can't complain for a fiver plus post. Hoping the Lomo'instant and the Olympus f1.4 will turn up tomorrow. I'm keen to find out if I've got a deal or not.

I got the 50mm f1.4 through today. As described it had some issues. Front element was loose and dust, lots of dust! The aperture selection ring was all over the place as well. Someone has been in before as lots of bits are scratched. I can't get in through the back but seeing as it was damaged anyway I pried off the beauty ring. I was then able to tighten up the front element retaining ring and sort out the aperture ring. The last bit was screwing in the beauty ring, this also holds on part of the front of the lens. Threads were a bit knackered so it only went so far, so I basically used a small pin hammer and a small screwdriver and tapped it home. I put it onto my G1 and none of the crud inside shows up.

Scanning some shots from the Rolleicord. This was Lomography 400.

Still getting light leaks from the Kiev 88
