Camera: 1952 Leica IIIf RD 35mm Rangefinder.
Lens: Waterworth 2 inch Centaur f/3.5.
Film: Ilford FP4 Plus ISO 125 35mm black & white negative.
Development: Ilford ID-11 1 + 3 @ 20C/21m.
Camera supported on Linhof Junior tripod & ball head.
Lens is wide open for this image. Focus point is the "W" badge and lens of the nearest projector, carefully set via the Leica's coupled rangefinder. For a lens with a little front coating damage (cleaning-related I suspect), I thought the contrast and resolution of such an old lens to be respectable.
The Waterworth Centaur is a vanishingly rare 2 inch f/3.5 lens manufactured by Waterworth of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Optical manufacture began at the Domain on the edge of the city of Hobart during WWII in order to furnish the Australian defence forces (and to an extent, also, other Allied forces) with lenses, prisms and other components vital for military use in targeting equipment, gunsights and for photo reconnaissance camera applications among others. After the war the workforce turned their skills to the production of goods for civilian use, notably projection equipment for educational institutions. A small number of still camera lenses were nevertheless manufactured in Hobart in the Leica 39mm rangefinder thread mount.
The Centaur was available in two different guises, both with the 39mm Leica thread mount: a non-focusing enlarger version made for darkroom printing; and the type used to make the image shown above. This being a focusing and rangefinder coupled version.
During a visit to the University of Tasmania to inspect the items in their Waterworth Collection (a bequest from the late Peter Smith, long a UTAS chemistry faculty member) I was permitted to fit the focusing example of the Centaur in the collection to my own Leica IIIf Red Dial rangefinder and take a few photos of the collection with it.
In the foreground you will see just a few of the different types of still projectors Waterworth manufactured after World War II.
The Centaur fitted readily to the IIIf like any Leica lens made for it, and coupled perfectly to its (well-calibrated) rangefinder from close range to infinity.
I set the camera and lens onto my own Linhof junior tripod and ball head (which was itself formerly owned by Peter Smith before it came into my possession, so there was a brief reunion of these items once owned by him). A short series of images was made by me at different apertures including wide open at f/3.5 with the camera on the tripod, using a cable release to maximise sharpness.
I have added four very similar images made with this very rare lens. Whilst there are a handful of images of a Waterworth Centaur lens locatable by Google Image search, I have not seen any photos actually taken with the lens: let alone taken with one fitted to a screw mount Leica rangefinder, the type of camera the lens was actually designed to be used with. This series might therefore be the only images on the web with a Centaur on film using a Leica rangefinder and have been uploaded for the benefit of those who may like to see some photos created with one.
The exact number of Waterworth Centaurs produced is not definitively known. At least one serial number into the low 300s exists. But whether all serial numbers from 1 were allocated and used is not known. The actual number made may be considerably less, one source suggests perhaps 200-odd? Many of those would have been for enlarger use and not suitable for photography, thus, the amount of surviving Centaurs with rangefinder coupling may, potentially, be tiny. Who knows? UTAS are researching the activities of the annexe.

My Brick Collection. This is the eighth rack of bricks, mostly from outside south Wales with examples from north Wales, Gloucestershire and miscellaneous bricks given to me or found over the past twenty years. The farthest travelled is the Fritsch Holzer sent to me from Australia (sixth row down on right). This rack was first constructed out of scrap timber ten or more years ago but refurbished in the summer of 2016.

The Classic Stiletto shoes are fitted for Inamorata only. They are available in 5 resin colours matching the Inamorata skin tones: Milk, Latte, Caramel, Chocolate and Coffee. The dragonfly/ butterfly ornaments come in choice of gold, silver, gunmetal and brass.
That pink thing at the bottom is a huge stuffed dog my lil dog likes to use as a bed, and yes, that is a mh check list LOL!
I waited and waited so I could get a picture of them all together and yet I still found a handful after taking these shots. :(
Most of these are gashapon swings though only a few still have their capsules and inserts and those are mostly the series that includes the Starlights.
The swings/keychains at the top attached to the card are missing Mars and Moon but it turns out the Moon is down at the bottom with her similar sisters next to Star Healer.
Also next to the card is the stray Uranus with rooted hair that is missing in another shot.
These are great for keys, hanging on backpacks, car mirrors, walls, or whatever one's heart desires.
Oh, and the little booklet is a tiny halftone printed sailor moon memo notepad featuring the Starlights and ChibiChibi that goes with the matching organizers/daily planners.

All these (and more) need new homes as I'm going to a different country for an extended stay soon so send me a Flickr Mail message (access through the arrow that appears near my profile photo when mousing over it, or click on the little tan envelope that appears on my profile page) if interested.
A picture of my video game collection. I use to do it every couple months, but then I moved a couple times and it got to big to fit on my bed.
I always loved nutcrackers, ever since I saw the "Nutcracker" ballet when I was 10. I wanted one then, but at the time in 1983 a nutcracker was very expensive. They didn't have walmarts and targets back then. I got my first nutcracker when I was about 15 and have been collecting them ever since. The pinnocio is from germany that my aunt got for me. The tiniest nutcracker there in the front is only about an inch tall!
Finally unpacking & trying to find a place for all my stuff. My collection of kitties is currently housed in the china cabinet along with my treasured teapot bought in Japan during my 2005 trip.

I will slowly be adding more so check back with an updated photo...
My collection of Russian camera's. Why I collect Russian camera's you ask? When I collect Kodak I must move to a castle. This fits in a cupboard. It is 80% of the Russian production (I do not collect camera's with bellows). Most of them are very vintage, from before 1980. Oldest in here will be from 1925. But, the newest are from 2003.
