When I first bought the LUMIX G VARIO 14-42/F3.5-5.6 II lens, I was disappointed because I didn't know it did not have OIS (which is why I haven't been using it often). But, with the in-body OIS of the GX8, the 14mm has been saved from the "banish to fleaBay" list. It's a very sharp and fast lens, and is now the ideal GX8 companion for my nocturnal sub rosa photo safaris. :)

FR: Je vous présente M. Mamiya M645 1000s avec son bon ami M. Zeiss 80mm 2.8 Jena Biometar. C'est le magnifique appareil avec lequel j'ai fait mes précédentes photos dans mon stream.
Croyez le ou non mais je le vends pour... Un autre Mamiya (j'adore les Mamiya)... Une version plus récente avec laquelle je pourrais changer les dos. Je suis un peu triste de le vendre (sentimental, mon 1er moyen format argentique) mais je suis définitivement pas assez riche pour tous les garder (Le D800 arrive bientôt). Donc quelqu'un aura la grande chance de te posséder l'ami.
Si vous êtes intéressé par ce Mamiya, merci de me contacter soit sur Twitter, soit en message privé sur Facebook. (je lis rarement mes mails Flickr).
UK : Please meet Mr Mamiya M645 1000s with its good friend fellow Mr Zeiss 80mm 2.8 Jena Biometar. This is the wonderful camera with which I took the previous photos in my stream.
Believe it or not but I'm selling it for... wait for it... another Mamiya (I love Mamiyas)... Just a younger brother in which I'll be able to remove & switch backs... I'm a bit sad to sell it (emotionally attached to it, my first film MF) but I'm definitely not rich enough to keep all of them. (The D800 is on its way). So someone will be definitely lucky enough to own you buddy.
Press "F" if you like it ;-)
Your kind support on my Facebook Page is much appreciated.
Feel free to ask me anything and stay in touch thru Twitter!

DIY Lens mount conversion, results (see below for "how to")
Here is the completed Minolta 58mm f/1.2 modification mounted on my Sony Alpha DSLR. Originally the lens is for the Minolta MC mount, which can not adapted to the Minolta AF mount "passively", i.e. any adapter would need to have optical elements to maintain infinity focus (at the expense of image quality). I managed to replace the mount on the lens itself by substituting an M42 to Minolta AF adapter for the original mount. After readjusting focus on the lens, it now aligns perfectly with the original distance scale, all the way to infinity.
While I did this for the Sony/Minolta AF system, the guide to the modification (see below) applies to any current DSLR system for which you can get a suitable adapter, e.g. an M42 to Canon EOS or a glassless M42 Nikon adapter can be used.
The lens was chosen because there is no f/1.2 lens available for the Minolta AF mount and most other f/1.2 lenses available tend to be either extremely expensive, hard to find, and/or far inferior (e.g., the Tomioka 50mm f/1.2 for M42 is not very good in my opinion). This lens, on the other hand, cost me about €100 and has bokeh worthy of legends. It is not the sharpest of lenses wide open (still, quite decent), but it has very pleasant image characteristics and is a lot of fun to use.
I recently updated this modification by installing a microchip which identifies itself as a 60mm f/1.1 lens (closest setting available at the moment). The chip was kindly provided by James Lao, who makes custom chips and M42 to Minolta AF adapters. If you use an electric adapter for the mount, the exact same guide can be used, or you can later install the microchip on the adapter (as I did).
With electronics the focus confirmation and in-camera anti-shake both work with this beast. (Focus confirmation doesn't depend on reported focal length, and for anti-shake the slight difference doesn't really matter that much.) The in-camera anti-shake of Sony DSLRs makes this a low-light photography marvel.
See the pictures beginning from here for my complete writeup on doing the modification. This method can also be applied to some other lenses, and certainly for converting to camera mounts other than Minolta AF.

Konica Autoreflex T
Prod. 1968-70
Lens: Konica Hexanon AR 52mm F1.8
Shutter: 1-1/1000s, B
ISO 25-1600
Konica Autoreflex T3
Prod. 1973-75
Lens: Konica Hexanon AR 50mm F1.7
Shutter: 1-1/1000s, B
ISO 12-3200
The Konica Autoreflex T was the first camera with fully automatic exposure control and metering through-the-lens (TTL).
The Konica Autoflex T3 was an evolution and improvement of the Autoreflex T2 with multiple exposure provision and hot shoe connection for flash.
I found my circa late 70's early 80's Pentax lenses in the closet. The old Pentax ME Super may be useless but the lenses are still good. I used a Voigtlander Adapter for Pentax K Lens to Sony E Mount to mount them. I think these lenses may be sharp. They are all manual focus.

I'll be posting some shots with the new old lenses soon.
When it gets a bit too warm outside for all that other stuff I've been mentioning (and trust me, around these parts, those overly warm days are coming soon!), stay inside and watch a movie or two. This particular Fred's seemed to have just a bit more of these electronic/entertainment items than many of the others I visited, which makes sense given the amount of vacation homes in this area.

A delightful gift from some friends. who brought this with them from the US. The wonderful thing about some of these old film cameras is that many will shoot without a battery, so I blew through a test roll without a battery and it works just fine.
1977
Mostly the 77’s Technics receiver came with a silver front. Here is the rare edition with dark faceplate. With a width of 50cm an imposing specimen of 70's receiver history.
The output of 65 watts per channel moves the 5470A in the top power class. The tuner section is best receiving and brings the local FM stations in excellent quality zoom. The Technics receiver in my opinion in the vintage scene is relatively undervalued and you can get it relatively for low price.
An attractive receiver in typical private National Technics style!

Überwiegend wurden die 77er Technics Receiver mit einer silberfarbenen Front ausgeliefert. Hier ist die seltenere Ausgabe mit dunkler Frontplatte. Mit einer Breite von 50cm ein imposantes Exemplar der 70er Jahre Receiver Historie.
Die Leistung von 65 Watt je Stereokanal bewegt sich der 5470A in der oberen Leistungsklasse. Der Tuner ist empfangsstark und holt die lokalen FM-Stationen in exzellenter Qualität heran. Die Technics Receiver sind meiner Meinung in der Vintage Szene vergleichsweise unterbewertet und somit noch relativ günstig zu bekommen.
Ein attraktiver Receiver im typisch eigenem National Technics-Style!
Here's a show off photo of my latest toy. A Hasselblad 500C with a Carl Zeiss Planar f2.8 80mm lens.
The body is from 1959 the lens is from 1970. I have 2 backs, one from 1959 and one from 1969. I've put new light seals in both backs and everything runs pretty smooth. I paid less for it then the price of a bottom market Canon DSLR.

The Nikomat (Nikkormat) EL, originally released in 1972, is the first focal plane shutter Nikon SLR camera with aperture priority (Av) automatic exposure capability, in addition to manual exposure setting. In fact, this is one of the first cameras in the world to offer aperture priority exposure control and an electronic shutter. The camera is based on the Nikkormat mechanical body chassis, although its exterior pentaprism design is looks different from the mechanical Nikkormats (the larger prism housing design accommodates the non-flexible circuit board inside). The control interface has been changed, though, to the style of the future FE/FM series of cameras. In other words, the shutter speed and ASA (ISO) are no longer set through rings on the lens mount, but rather with dials on the top of the body. Although the traditional Nikkormat interface worked well, this new layout is easier to see and adjust, and became the standard for future generations of Nikon bodies until the advent of control wheels on the Nikon F-801 and other similar bodies of that later generation.
The Nikomat EL is the first of three electronically controlled bodies in the Nikkormat line. Later models included the Nikomat ELW and the Nikon EL2. Nikon made various changes over the lifespan of these three models, leading the way to eventual release of the FE, which was based on a new, more compact and lighter body design. Indeed, the final EL2 version was only in production for a short time, from 1977 to 1798, before it was replaced by the Nikon FM, with its new form factor. All three models feel similar to the user and work great. Differences between the three models will be discussed below, and basically entail gradual improvements in specifications.
The Nikomat EL still incorporated CdS exposure meter technology, which had somewhat slower response at lower light levels compared with later SPD meters. The exposure meter gives a 60% weight to the 12mm circle in the center of the viewfinder, which is the Nikon standard for most cameras of this era. The measuring range of the exposure meter is EV 1-18, which remained unchanged on all EL/ELW/EL2 bodies, as well as the future FE/FM series. The electronic shutter has an official range of only 4 sec. to 1/1000 sec. There is no detent position on the shutter speed dial for 8 sec., but if you move the dial to where 8 sec. would be if it were marked, the shutter actually opens for about 8 seconds! I haven't actually used the 8 sec. "setting" so I don't know how accurate it is, or whether the exposure meter can accurately select up to 8 sec. in aperture priority mode. In any event, 8 sec. is not officially supported on the EL. If the battery dies, the EL shoots at a fixed shutter speed of 1/90 second regardless of what speed the shutter speed dial is set to. Film ASA range is limited to 25 - 1600 in this first generation EL, and there is no exposure compensation dial on the ASA setting ring. Of course, if you know how to use the camera, you can easily implement exposure compensation by just changing the selected film speed. The EL is from the same generation as the Nikkormat FT2, and links the lens to the camera's exposure meter by slipping the aperture ring claw on the lens onto the metering pin around the lens mount. For users of Nikon bodies of that generation, attaching lenses to the camera body this way is second nature.
The EL is the first Nikon body to use the use the new type of exposure meter display in the viewfinder, which became very popular and continued to be used virtually unchanged all the way through the final body in the later FM line, the FM3A! In manual exposure mode, a green needle points to the selected shutter speed on the left side of the viewfinder; you adjust the aperture ring and/or shutter speed dial until the position of the green needle coincides with the position of the black exposure meter needle. In aperture priority mode, the green needle points to "A" instead of a shutter speed, and the black needle points to the automatically selected shutter speed, including intermediate shutter speeds of course. There are two disadvantages of the EL's viewfinder display. First, it works great when there is sufficient light to see the needles, but the needles can be hard to see when photographing at night or in a dark theater, etc. This weakness continued all the way through the FM3A. Another disadvantage of the EL's viewfinder display, which continues from the mechanical Nikkormats, is that there is no indication of the selected lens aperture. You need to look at the aperture ring on the lens to know our aperture setting. The selected aperture does not show up in the display of these semi-pro Nikon bodies until the FM. The location and type of battery used by the EL, ELW and EL2 as relatively unusual. The camera uses a single, relatively large 6 volt silver oxide battery (e.g., 6.2v 4SR44). The battery is installed at the bottom of the mirror box by using the mirror lock-up lever to raise the mirror and opening the battery compartment cover with your finger. This works OK, although you need to be careful to avoid getting dust, etc. in the mirror box when changing the battery.
The EL apparently had at least two types of focusing screens. My EL has a central microprism spot surrounded by a 12mm circle for the central weighted area of the exposure meter. The central microprism circle pops into focus and is quite easy to use. However, the EL user manual describes the standard screen as a central split-image surrounded by a microprism collar. Since my EL is not a particularly early model (The EL starts a serial number 5100001 and mine is 5174881) perhaps my sample was originally a special order. Or possibly it was standard on "Nikomats" like mine that were purchased in Japan. Focusing screens on the EL, ELW and EL2 are not interchangeable. Viewfinder coverage is a rather limited 92%, but this is not unusual for the era.
In addition to the just-mentioned mirror lock-up function, the EL also has the usual aperture stop-down button, self-timer lever, etc. The self-timer lever is pushed in towards the lens to provide exposure lock in aperture priority mode. The camera also has a fixed hot shoe on top of the prism. Fastest electronic flash synch speed is 1/125 sec., same as for other Nikkormat bodies.
The EL is a really solid professional level camera, which provides state-of-the-art features for a first generation body with an electronic shutter. Sitting here in 2016 as I write this article, my black EL still looks almost new and functions 100% just as it did when it was manufactured. Some years back, it did have a problem with the shutter not always firing as set, but this was easily repaired by my local camera tech.
So what improvements were made in the subsequent ELW and EL2 models? The ELW was almost unchanged from the EL. Basically, the ELW adds support for the AW-1 auto winder. It also adds a shutter release button lock (to accommodate the auto winder), although the shutter still locks on the EL when the film advance lever is pressed in against the body. All other features were the same as the EL.
The EL2 incorporates a larger number of changes, and is closer in features to the subsequent Nikon FE. The EL2 does away with the exposure meter pin/claw system and moves to the more convenient automatic indexing system that is employed by the Nikkormat FT3 and later cameras. Also, another big change for the EL2 is that it employs a more modern and faster SPD exposure meter technology compared with the CdS meter of prior generations. The shutter for the first time officially supports shutter speeds as long as 8 seconds instead of the previous 4 seconds. The EL2 also includes for the first time an exposure compensation ring and expands the available film ASA range to 12-3200. Finally, Nikon changed their naming convention starting with the EL2. The camera is called the "Nikon EL2" instead of "Nikkormat/Nikomat" which was the name used for the EL and ELW.
Considering all of the upgrades available on the EL2, I think that this final model is the most desirable of the EL/ELW/EL2 line for actual picture taking. However, if you only use manual focus Nikon lenses with the aperture claw, and don't care about a slow motor drive (1 frame per second) in today's modern age, the original Nikomat EL works perfectly fine too. Still, since these three bodies are based on the original Nikkormat full-size chassis with a weight of about 780 grams without lens, my preference is to use the next generation FE/FM bodies which are significantly smaller (but not too small, unlike, say the Pentax MX) and lighter (only around 590 grams). On the other hand, the slightly greater weight and size of the EL's Nikkormat-style chassis gives it a more stable feeling, especially with smaller lenses.
