Petri MF-101A with Petri 2/50
(Cosina CT-1A with Cosinon-S 2/50)
At the end of the 1970ies Petri has ceased manufacturing own cameras, instead they sold Cosina cameras with their label. The identification of Cosina's CT series is not very difficult: MF-101(A) = CT-1(A), MF-102 = CT-2, etc.
The CT-1A is an entirely manual and mechanical camera. The exposure is displayed in the viewfinder with -/o/+ LEDs, while the predecessor CT-1 used a needle. The successor CT-1 super has a top shutter speed of 1/2000 s. The CT-1 models were very successful as OEM cameras, especially the CT-1 super was the base for many cameras of other brands.
So simple the camera may be, it is the essence of decades of camera manufacturing. With a minimum of effort achieve a maximum of performance, this camera has no individual features, its handling was proved on generations of cameras, it's the "generic" camera.
Many parts are made of plastic, so the camera was very affordable. In 1980 it cost DM 220 with that standard lens. Competitors were the Ricoh KR-5 for DM 300 or the Praktica L2 (with no exposure meter at all) for DM 200. With DM 650 the Canon AE-1 had a complete other level.
I don't have much information about the lens. It has exactly the same housing like its faster sister, the 1.7/50, only the diameter of the lens elements is smaller. And it is not marked with MC, so I assume it is really single coated.

Nikon's entry into digital medium format - A completely modular system camera!
Nikon was nice enough to fly me to Japan to snap this photo of their Medium Format prototype the "Nikon MF"
I took this for a friends blog and am mostly happy with how the image worked out.
Feel free to take this image and use it at will, hopefully someone at Nikon will eventually see it and actually make such a creature.
Oh... and if you ever see this on the internet let me know...
One of my first feet shots. This time dedicated to: kevexercs - site with some of the finest feet pictures I've seen on flicker until now :)
This picture belongs to the first Minimal Fetish Set published in polish magazine Fluid (08/2003).
One from a shoot here yesterday with Mountainflyers and their new H130 in the mountains of Switzerland.
Mural tribute to MF Doom seen at the Logan Project at Fullerton and Milwaukee in the Logan Square area of Chicago, Illinois.

Edit by Teee.
the hexy MF is now hand appliqued to the backing fabric and I've started making rosesttes and the odd 'petal' (hex) for the borders.
It's still nowehre near finished and isn't likely to be any time soon - but I'm really enjoying the occasional distraction of this when I'm feeling a bit stressed or grumpy.
Régie autonome des transports parisiens (Autonomous Parisian Transportation Administration, RATP) MF 88 no 88M017 (ANF Industrie, 1990-1992) is the lead motor on a three-car train seen arriving at Louis Blanc station on Line 7bis. Nine of these trainsets were built and nowadays they can only be found on Line 7bis. The trains have a unique wheel arrangement amongst rapid transit rolling stock: the center car has two single axles at each end, and the end motor cars are similar but with an additional guiding wheelset at each end (for a total of 3 axles per car). This experimental design proved to cause a high rate of wear-and-tear, thus increasing maintenance costs.
