Our Daily Challenge ~ Trash or Treasure ....
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
I will be using this camera in week 328 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

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?!?
Technical Information:
Camera - Nikon D5000
Lens – Nikkor 50mm Fixed
ISO – 160

Please visit my collection of Motor Vehicles on Flickr where you will find over 10,000 car and truck photos organized in albums by model year, manufacturer, vehicle type, and more. This project, which began in 2008, continues to expand with new material added daily.
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!!
Nikon F2 - the one analog camera that I didn't give away. It's a keeper, even though I won't turn back to film.
Strobist info: Black velvet underneath and behind.

I never know what to write in the captions of my photos so I am going to start trying:
My friend and I were just hanging out, taking pictures on the beach and he brought his film cameras so I took a picture of him holding one. At the time I didn't really think the picture would be that interesting but I decided to edit it and I am actually really happy with the way it turned out :).
I am also thinking of starting a 52 week project because why not :)
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.

I dug the camera out of storage. After searching the internet I found a substitute battery for the built-in light meter, available at the drug store – it seemed to operate. I bought a roll of B&W 35mm film.
The Ilford XP2 400 ASA film uses the C41 process, so it can be developed at any drug store that offers colour processing.
After over 40 years I loaded it to see what it could do. I used my original Super Takumar 55mm 1.8 lens.
It was like a visit with a long lost friend!
The exposure settings using the built-in light meter didn’t seem right, so I did some back up shots using an other camera and/or a light meter to set exposure.
I took it in for developing and scanning with great anticipation.
Only a hand full of shots using the alternative light meters turned out reasonably well.
I edited the heck out of this shot using modern photo editing software.
It is interesting to go back to thinking in Blank & White.
The lens is superb and will teach me a lot.
A bit frustrating, but I think I will go back for more
A magic collection of old radios from the 1920s to the 1960s.
Well worth a visit. Just check when they are open before calling.
-- 50mm f/1.4 S-M-C Takumar (Radioactive)
This lens has a glass element in the rear group (reported to be the one next to the aperture diaphragm) containing radioactive thorium oxide.
Taken with a Canon T2i/550D and Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens at f/6.3. 50 1/15-second exposures at ISO100 in a focus stack (DoF stack) were combined with Zerene Stacker in DMAP mode. The exposures were spaced by pressing the ">" button on the EOS utility live-view screen. This is a 50% crop of the original image.

Die Erfolgsgeschichte der manuellen Minolta-Spiegelreflexkameras begann wohl 1966 mit der SR-T 101. Diese robuste Modellreihe wurde mit Modifikationen bis Anfang der 80er Jahre gebaut.
Dazwischen brachte Minolta auch andere bemerkenswerte SLRs auf den Markt, die man durchaus als Meilensteine bezeichnen kann, z. B. die XD-7.
Und auch die 1974 erschienene XE-1 würde ich dazu zählen.
Diese Kamera (eine Zeitautomatik) war eine Frucht der 1972 begonnenen Zusammenarbeit von Minolta und Leitz, was auch in der Bedienungsanleitung nicht verschwiegen wird:
Der CLS(Copal-Leitz-Shutter)-Verschluß wurde grundsätzlich entwickelt von der Fa. Ernst Leitz GmbH, Wetzlar, unter Mitarbeit der japanischen Firma Copal Co. Ltd., die ihre Erfahrungen und Ideen einbrachte. Minolta wirkte bei diesem Projekt durch Unterstützung beider Firmen mit.
Dieser vertikal ablaufende Metall-Lamellen-Verschluss war eine der Gemeinsamkeiten mit der Leica R3, die 1976 erschien. Auch sonst waren sich XE-1 und R3 sehr ähnlich, Hauptunterschiede waren die Elektronik, die Belichtungsmessung, der Sucher und – natürlich – das Bajonett.
Der Verschluss wurde übrigens danach von Seiko neu konstruiert und in der Minolta XD-7 und allen folgenden Leica-R-Kameras eingesetzt.
Die XE-1 ist groß und schwer – allein das Gehäuse wiegt 775 g. Das kann man durchaus als Vorteil betrachten: die Verwacklungsgefahr ist geringer.
Man griff auf die schon mit der SR-T 101 eingeführte CLC-Belichtungsmessung zurück: Zwei CdS-Fotowiderstände im Sucher ermitteln einen Wert, der besonders bei hohen Kontrasten für optimale Belichtung sorgt (die genaue technische Beschreibung dieses Systems umfasst in der einschlägigen Literatur mehrere Seiten).
Die Zeit-Automatik steuert stufenlos den Verschluss von 4 Sek. bis 1/1000 Sek. Manuell kann man ihn auch stufenweise einstellen. Rechts im Sucher sieht man die Verschlusszeiten-Skala mit analoger Nadel und am oberen Rand ist die vorgewählte Blende sichtbar.
Die Stromversorgung erfolgt durch zwei 1,5-V-Silberoxid-Zellen (SR44), die auch heute noch erhältlich sind. Als Batterietest dient ein kleiner Hebel an der Seite, der beim Betätigen und voller Batterie ein rotes Lämpchen aufleuchten lässt. Ferner kann man die Elektrik ganz ausschalten, dadurch wird auch der Auslöser blockiert. Ein Okularverschluss ist ebenso vorhanden wie eine optische Filmtransportkontrolle.
Mittenkontakt für den Blitz und Selbstauslöser sind für die damalige Zeit natürlich schon selbstverständliche Ausstattungsmerkmale. Außer dem X-Synchronisations-Kontakt ist auch noch ein FP-Anschluss für Blitzbirnchen vorhanden.
Ach ja: Der Abblendhebel der XE-1 schaltet den Offenblenden-Simulator aus. So werden auch bei Arbeitsblendenmessung korrekte Belichtungswerte ermittelt.
Alles in allem: robust, zuverlässig, genau, durchdachte Bedienung.

This Zeiss old beauty has left my hands now, to the hands of her owner for 34 years :) I didn't say goodbye to her without a proper shooting - and she was the model now.
I know - I know. A portrait like this is usually taken showing the front. But I kind of like this photo better... Whatever!

SHWIP Day #1
As the main hull of the SHIP was basically just a bunch of copy-paste building the same piece 6 times and only took 30 minutes, I'll just post WIPs of the Details I add to the rather bland hull.
During this time you might aswell try to guess what exactly I'm building. :3
Let the fun begin!
Also yeah, I'll just edit all WIP Pics this heavily, otherwise I fidn WIP pics boooring. And before anyone asks, it's edited with this nice website: pixlr.com/
The OM-series from Olympus are the SLRs that Leica should have produced. Smaller then a M series camera, refined, feature packed, the OM-2 was from the very start a remarkable camera. This the N version, all black, just beautiful, a black godess. Changes from the OM-2 are the TTL flash metering system, the reset button moved to the main switch and a lock to engage the "B" setting.
