What would a woman with such a rare an exotic beauty drive? A car that is just as rare and exotic: the 1938 Bugatti 57SC Atlantic. Only four of these beauties were made and feature a signature dorsal seam where the boday panels were riveted together. This car is often considered the most beautiful pre-war car built.

So I’ve been looking to buy a Rollei 35 camera for some time and my delay was due to my criteria. It had to be black and made in Germany. Recently I came across two cameras that met this and purchased them both for a decent price. This is the first. It is in cosmetically excellent condition but it does have some fungus in the rear elements.

This is the 50mm f3.5 macro lens for the Mamiya NC1000 and NC1000s cameras. Quite a rare lens, though becuase it only fits 1 camera (well two very similar cameras to be precise) it is not in high demend, which means it isn't worth very much despite being rare. I only had to pay about 40 quid on eBay for this example.
It is a nice and compact little lens to match the compact dimensions of the NC1000 camera.
This is a prototype lens being developed for the Pentax Q. A 1.1 Sonnetar Type lens in propietary Q mount. Made by MS Optical in Japan. We are hoping to have this lens market ready very soon.
I decided to put it next to an average sized SLR for reference. Serioulsy, this thing is tiny.
Produced between 1956 and 1965 by Chicago based Imperial Camera Corp, Imperial Savoy was one of the first 6×6 cameras they produced under the Imperial name. It takes a 620 roll film, giving 12 6×6 exposures. 620 film is pretty much identical to 120 film with the exception that the spool it’s wound around has thinner ends, making the roll of film shorter.

A bit of 35mm film gear love. My Pentax SP500 (Spotmatic) on the left, and my Pentax ME Super on the right. I really do resist the urge to be a brand fan, but hats off to the company. They made some cracking SLR cameras. The SP500 dates to circa 1972 - and the smaller ME Super to around 1981. Both of these cameras are loaded with film and are in my "working" stable. They are both a pleasure to use.

Ahoy! New Leicas around is always good news! :)
I've been shooting with my wonderful Summicron-R 50mm ver.2 for over a year now and I can say, that it is one hell of a lens, probably my favourite of them all. To be honest, it's the only genuine Leica lens I owned until now. But the magical blend of good sharpness (excellent when stopped down a bit), lovely bokeh and absolutely fabulous rendering makes this lens something special. The rendering is neither clinically modern razor sharp, nor too imperfectly vintage to be an all-arounder. The rendering is fantastic, and it's something, that I can proudly prove with some photos.
Never owning a Leica R camera, I sometimes used my Summicron with with Canon 5D for digital, but most of the time with the film Canon Elan 7. I began to notice, that this is pretty much the only lens I use with the film Canon, and its handling on an alien camera is far from perfect. There are no focusing aids in the autofocus film Canon camera.
Well, and now the Canon Elan 7 retires with honour, and the Leica R5 takes its place.
Together with the R5 I grabbed the Elmarit 90mm f/2.8 ver.1. That 90mm focal length might turn out to be a useful one for occasional portraits or for more distant street shots. Anyway, the Elmarit is yet to be trialled in work.
Now this powerful trio forms a ground for my small Leica R family.

This is turning into a bit of a tradition - packing the night before a motorcycle touring assignment for RoadRUNNER Magazine, fretting that I'm taking too much gear followed quickly by fretting that I'm not taking enough. Debating whether I should take the primes or the zooms this time; the primes won because I've got a good set of 49mm NDs and CPL. I do have the DA10-17 fisheye zoom, just in case. Putting all of it on my iPad2 and snapping a shot.
The big change from the last trip is the Pentax Q, of course. It gives me a three of a kind Pentax kit and now I'm just one body (645D) of a royal flush. The Q takes surprising nice images, particularly in good light with the 01 Prime. I'm less confident about the 03 Fish Eye, and I don't have the zoom. Had those two pieces been around, I would have felt ok leaving the K-01 at home and using the little Q as the backup. Alas, I'm not quite there with that camera, so the K-01 with the DA40 get the nod.
One change that's hard to see here is that I'm ditching the cool but fussy lens hood and caps of the DA21 and DA70, replacing them with screw-on metal hoods and caps. I'm tired of fussing with the fancy hoods while using NDs and CPLs. I'm also tired of losing them - they are expensive to replace.
Rounding out the kit is the Contour ROAM. So the K-5 and K-01 will be primarily for stills and the ROAM and Q primarily for video/time lapse. Wish me luck!
