This Leica M3 is from 1962. Its equipped with a Leica M Summicron 2/50mm Dual Range (DR) lens (produced from 1956 to 1968).
Ranges:
* "normal" from 1 meter to infinity
* near-focusing range from 0.88 meters down to 478 millimeters (0.478m).
To use the near-focus range the near-focusing adapter has to be used to see the focused area within the rangefinder.

TLR (Twin Lens Reflex) medium-format film camera for 120 film. It was produced from 1958 to 1974.
This one comes with a better 4-element Tessar-style Yashinon 80mm f/3.5 taking lens instead of the Yashikor ones found on earlier models.
This type of camera is exotic to me, and therefore kind of fun. These are modern power cruisers with all the electronics and creature comforts... when I'm more used to a sailboat with a small diesel, maybe a GPS to go with the compass, otherwise minimalist...
This is my Hartblei Tilt Adapter (Pentacon 6 to Pentax K mount). Probably the cheapest way to make yourself a "tilt" lens (but not a tilt/shift lens) using real quality glass, using real quality gear. A cheaper way is to go DIY and construct yourself a ghetto tilt adapter, which will knock off the price of the tilt adapter ($120 on Ebay), but you'll still need a medium format lens to use with your FF or APS-C/H DSLR.
I would say that a cheaper way still is to buy a Lensbaby, but that'll be a lie, in a way, because Lensbabies cost quite a bit, especially when taking into account the el-cheapo plastic lenses they use. Besides, the Lensbaby effect is not really quite the same as a tilt lens; yes, you could use a Lensbaby to simulate the faux miniature world photo; but you can't use a Lensbaby to produce high quality pseudo-ultra deep DoF shot by tilting the lens in the other direction.
With a tilt adapter, you can build yourself a very high quality tilt-only lens for $150-$300. This combo was around $200, with the Mir-26B costing $65 on Ebay. You can make a cheaper combo with a Volna-3 80mm F2.8 lens, which go for around $45 (and take shots like this); and I've seen Mir-3 65mm F3.5 go for $40-ish. The high end would be to go with Carl Zeiss Jena glass; you can pick up a CZJ Flektogon 50mm/4 for $150 if you're lucky, but $200 pretty much all the time, and a CZJ Biometar 80mm F2.8 for $60 if you're lucky, or $100 all the time. Any one of those lenses would make a very fine tilt lens, that is leaps and bounds better, in terms of IQ than any Lensbaby, including the $300 3G.
Of course, compared to a Lensbaby, any medium format lens on a tilt adapter is going to be humongous. Whether you see that as a downside or a positive quality (gives you street cred ;-) is up to you.

..mentre il cielo e il mare erano senza un alito di vento, e una leggera nebbiolina velava l'orizzonte, un'orda di conquistatori dopo avere attraversato tutta la penisola giunse alle rive della città di Reggio e si trovò davanti allo stretto che divide la Calabria dalla Sicilia. A pochi chilometri sull'altra sponda sorgeva un'isola - la Sicilia - con un gran monte fumante - l'Etna - ed il Re barbaro si domandava come fare a raggiungerla trovandosi sprovvisto di imbarcazioni, quindi impotente davanti al mare. All'improvviso apparve una donna molto bella, che offrì l'isola al conquistatore, e con un cenno la fece apparire a due passi da lui. Guardando nell'acqua egli vedeva nitidi, i monti, le spiagge, le vie di campagna e le navi nel porto come se potesse toccarli con le mani. Esultando il Re barbaro balzò giù da cavallo e si gettò in acqua, sicuro di poter raggiungere l'isola con un paio di bracciate, ma l'incanto si ruppe e il Re affogò miseramente. Tutto infatti era un miraggio, un gioco di luce della bella e sconosciuta donna, che altri non era se non la Fata Morgana.
Fujica had surprisingly good lenses back in the day - if you could find them. Their camera bodies were nothing spectacular as far as features go, but their lenses, like this stout little M2-mount 50mm Fujinon, delivered beautiful, sharp chromes and warm-toned prints. This ST605 is compact and sturdy, armed with all the typical (if minimal) manual camera features you'd need for a day's shooting with the family.
The camera's top shutter speed of 1/700th is a bit odd to see on the dial. But in reality almost all the mechanical shutters of those days marked at 1/1000th of a second could truthfully never hit that number and were actually about the same speed (or slightly faster) than the top speed of this Fujica.

©1955 - Promotional camera for some super awesome baby food (well it must have been awesome... right? )
Basic Vrede Box... just fancy advertising =)
From my collection, a Western Electric 302, also known as the "I Love Lucy" phone. First introduced in 1937 and produced until 1955, mine is the thermoset plastic version dated 1948.
I have no idea what this is exactly, all I know is that it comes from some sort of computer hard drive!
Strange looking "obsolete electronics" although I am reluctant to call them obsolete just old. Although the Bakelite switches are unusual. the Out house conduits of another era.
People tend to think that the Japanese photographic conquering was a sort of invincible armada that one day took by storm the whole world. It wasn’t, it slowly began under the nose of everybody that looked with disdain at the yellow cameras. This Olympus wide is from 1955 and already the fit and finish is somewhere between a Voigtlander and an AGFA. The leather case is outstanding, very high quality indeed. The peculiarity of this Olympus is the lens, a 35 mm/3.5, hence the name wide. This was a remarkable option on the part of Olympus, I can’t remember any European compact camera from this era with a 35 mm lens. It lacks a rangefinder, but the wider depth of field of the lens helps to minimize focusing errors. Like the Agfa Silette, it has a separate window for the projected frame lines, a nice touch in a modest camera. The Copal shutter gives all the speeds from 1s to 1/500th but in the old scale (5, 10, 25, 50, 100). As you can see from the picture, the camera is already equipped with an advance lever and a rewind crank that unfolds in a neat way. In short, not a sophisticated camera, but seriously built, with plenty of good ideas. It is not hard to see now that the demise of the German camera manufacture was written on each of these early warriors, but back then people were far too busy worshiping the holy trinity, Zeiss-Leica-Voigtlander.

I am very honored and excited to be featured on this lovely blog today! Thank you so much Claudia! ♥
Estoy super contenta de estar en este blog hoy! Muchas gracias Claudia!! Es un honor! ♥
My tiny, compact and sharp shooting Chinon Bellami. I think these were made in the early 80's. It has a very cool retractable lens and a 'barn door' design lens cover. The doors are opened and closed by pulling the film advance lever back or forward. The lens is a chinonex 2.8 and remarkably sharp. I prefer this over my Minox 35 GT
