Lens: Canon EF 200mm f/2.8 L
Camera: Celestron NightScape CCD
Bought that giant mount just to slap on this tiny astrophotography setup! Makes sense, right?
Just got the adapter in the mail from Precise Parts (preciseparts.com/ppmain/home.html). The adapter is for mounting a Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II lens to my CCD, which I believe has m42 threads. This little adapter was about $200! I think I need to get into the business of machining parts...
Thanks to Rob (pfile) for helping me out with this.
I was to print something for my job, my printer says "missing the paper loader is empty".
Took a trip to Media Markt to supply my printer with the missing A4 paper, oh Damn what a big mistake, come home with this configuration.
Never go outside on Monday to buy A4 SYMBIO copy paper!

Zebras are several species of African equids (horse family) united by their distinctive black and white striped coats. Their stripes come in different patterns, unique to each individual. They are generally social animals that live in small harems to large herds.
The Plains Zebra (Equus quagga) is the most common, and about six subspecies were distributed across much of southern and eastern Africa.
Zebras have excellent eyesight. It is believed that they can see in color.[citation needed] Like most ungulates, the zebra's eyes are on the sides of its head, giving it a wide field of view. Zebras also have night vision, although not as advanced as that of most of their predators.
1994 Pentax P30t, mostly plastic, but a very light and good-handling camera. Easy to switch from automatic to manual exposure. I got this for my trip to Italy in 1994 after I realized that my 1980 Pentax K2 had become too unreliable to travel with.
At last my 50 € Pentax 67 is back from the dead. This mean, but lean machine will be the star of a personal project that I have in my mind. As usual, I had to wait quite a bit to find a cheap lens for th 67 and a wide angle to boot. I don't like tele lenses, so, enter the 55/4.
The camera is not a nightmare to use, the contols are smooth and effortless, from the speed dial to the advance lever. The lens is exceptional in smoothness when focusing. Exceptional is the word about everything in this camera, from the size, the weight, the build, the finish and the quality of the photographs. I am a bit nervous about using it, as I fear I might not be up to this camera standards!

My old Leica IIIa with a new lense.
It's remarkable that this old camera (from 1937) ist still working and can be fit up with new lenese. And so i bought this Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f1.5
The purcahse of this lense is my way to gather an analog leica. First the lense, than the body and maybe a "real" Leica lense afterwards. But the Nokton is quite good, as I figured out some weeks ago.

It's a New Year's resolution of sorts (just not so resolute) to shoot some film. I've fixed a couple other old cameras, and this one needs some love. I got some B&W film, a development tank, and some monobath a couple months back...

Neat little camera!

This is a Twin Lens Reflex (TLR) film camera from 1958 for 120 film. It gives you images of 6x6cm. It's very similar to the Autocord "Export" version with Seikosha-MX shutter but includes a selenium meter as seen here. The light meter is not coupled and it gives you an EV value. Like all Minolta Autocord cameras, it comes with super sharp, legendary Rokkor lenses.
Brought out my "vintage" camera for today's prompt. It's only about 25 years old so it may just be old but it definitely got me hooked on making art with a camera!!
In my effort to continue my 365 Project and to combat these ugly, rainy, cold days that get dark before I even get off work, I have to expand the types of photographs that I've been taking as well as the photo subjects. I took this board out of an old stock radio from my wife's previous car that we no longer own. It was just sitting out in the garage, so...why not?!?

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” ~Jeremiah 29:11
L-Prakticas are simple, all-mechanical M42 screwmount cameras that were produced in vast numbers (a total of almost 9 million cameras for all models) in East Germany. The EE2 and EE3 models are based on the L-series but are also radically different, as the shutter is electronic, offering aperture-priority autoexposure and manual mode. The shutter (vertical, metal) is stepless in auto mode (1-1/1000s) and speeds range from 1/30 to 1/1000s in manual mode. The shutter is totally battery-dependent (the camera uses a rare PX-21 4.5V cell) and without battery the camera is simply dead, the shutter does not open at all.
The EE cameras offer open-aperture metering with the "electric" line of Zeiss and Pentacon lenses (the usual kit lens was the 1.8/50 Pancolar). Other M42 lenses need to be stopped down for correct metering. ASA range goes up to 1600 and there is an exposure compensation (+2 to -2) switch. The camera is equipped with viewfinder blinds to avoid stray light during long exposures and a battery check switch is available.
The camera unmistakably derives its design from the L-series, but it feels heavier (perhaps due to more electronics), the prism housing is wider and the leatherette is thicker, providing better grip. Overall feel is a bit improved over the L-Prakticas, including fit, finish and action of the various dials and buttons. Film advance and shutter release are typical Praktica though, as is the average viewfinder. Luckily, mine came with a forgotten but still working battery and everything seems to work, although the meter behaves as if in spot mode with non-electric lenses attached. A very nice camera overall, surely the pride of Pentacon when it was released, its major drawback being the rare and expensive battery, although alternatives exist, if one feels creative!
I have lots of different home-made plexiglass shapes but always seem to be drawn to the plain rectangular shape or the hoop. I have been taking a couple of small shapes out with me recently as they fit in with all my other gear but have not been inspired to paint with them as I find it takes a lot of concentration and time to create something I'm happy with. So drawing on inspiration from my LP friends, I set up my trusty circuit board and fixed the small "flame" plexi shape to a wheel attached to a tripod and using the Ryu's Lightworks V2 torch and my SonyA7iii mounted on a rotation gimbal, I rotated the flashing blade and capped between each of the 8 points of rotation using a Samyang 14mm lens. This had been preceded by a shot of the circuit board using a Minolta MD 50mm f1.7 with macro extension tubes, then lens capped and swapped mid-exposure for the Samyang. Chuffed at the 1 successful attempt. Packed up and a cup of tea.

I will be using this camera in week 325 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

A magic collection of old radios from the 1920s to the 1960s.
Well worth a visit. Just check when they are open before calling.
My favorite compact, Olympus 35RC, all ready for action: small, light strap for hanging on shoulder, vented lens hood (uneccessary but fun) and wide angle finder (absolutely unecessary but fun).
I just can't say how nice it is to shoot with an RC -- I actually agree with Ken Rockwell that in many functional ways, this camera is better than a Leica.
