Re: Vintage film cameras
Hi Calix, yes for the most part they do. That's just one tiny shelf but I do have a lot more. I think only one of the little HIT cameras works, I even have film for them!

Re: Vintage film cameras
Absolute tank of a camera. In excellent condition and even came with a proper lens hood which I didn't realise was included.

Re: Vintage film cameras
That Nikon is a serious slab.
The viewfinder/prism looks different. How does it work? |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Yeah, it's heavy alright! The little window in the corner is a light meter, but I don't have the right battery to test it (PX625) but beyond that it works as a normal prism with the viewfinder at the back. It's just huge! It's detachable so I can swap it for a waist level finder or a normal prism.
As mentioned, the only other I want is a Pen F, I would be happy with just the 38mm lens.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Fingers crossed I should be getting my OM gear back next week, just got an invoice. Service charge was £50 per camera plus parts. I did send down some gear as part payment so the total was reasonable. The only thing not working/unfixable on the OM4 was the LED and the exposure comp light is flashing constantly in the display. Other than that its been had a new circuit board, been adjusted, lubricated and new light seals. Pretty much the same on the OM2n plus a replacement light meter. I've got a French marked OM1 thats in bits after my attempt at "repair" and he will rebuild it.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Good news that these are finally coming back. Service charge seems reasonable too and should give them a new lease of life.
I took the FX-D out again today. Took a few shots with an 80-200 zoom. I like this camera. Small, light, handles nicely and simple to use. The only thing I miss is a dof preview but I can survive without one. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
I have a few that have dof preview, but tbh I've never used it! The same guy has an Olympus M1 for sale for less than £200, but alas, I'm spent out at the moment. I haven't used my FX-D in quite some time, probably four years at least, nice camera to use though. I even reskinned it. I took more shots yesterday in the snow in and around the house than I did in all of last year!
