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.
1960 Zorki 4 with Jupiter-8 pose for some more Sunday morning camera porn. I just disassembled and cleaned/relubed the Jupiter which now focuses like buttuh.
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
Aperture – f/3.5
Exposure – 1/1250 sec
Focal Length – 50mm
Final adjustments were made with PS.

I wasn't thinking in getting another camera but I took advantage of a crazy deal.
This is the first small digital camera I have since I started with photography.
It's an interchangeable lens mirrorless pocketable digital camera with a 18 megapixels APS-C sensor (same size as a Canon 7D and other similar DSLR cameras) with a fast prime 35mm equivalent lens. Image quality should be the same as any DSLR... we'll see.
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!!

A magic collection of old radios from the 1920s to the 1960s.
Well worth a visit. Just check when they are open before calling.
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.

"The Canon 7 was a rangefinder system camera produced by Canon Inc., the last compatible with the Leica M39 lens mount. It was introduced in September 1961, with an integrated Selenium meter cell. Further versions, branded Canon 7s and Canon 7s Type II (or Canon 7sZ), modified the design slightly by introducing a cadmium sulfide cell."
The lens is a somewhat beat up Canon 50mm f/1.4 LTM obtained fairly cheaply on eBay.
I finally found a good copy of this lens at a reasonable price. The former owner was a retired pro who only used it a few times to shoot theater plays. The size makes it an ideal lens for using on my Olympus PEN.
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.

Crazy Tuesday - Obsolete Electronics
I have to admit that I've been a bit smitten with Kodak Retina folders since first checking one out at Blue Moon last winter. That particular Retina was a Retina II with the rare Ektar 47/2 on it. I've had my eye out for a nice Retina II that I could afford ever since.I still kinda want a Retina II, but I recently ran across this IIIc that seemed quite nice, and was a decent price. I've seen quite a few IIIc on ebay but this was the first I'd seen with the Rodenstock lens so I snagged it. After a bit of research, I found out that the IIIc was never sold in North America with this lens, it was a Europe only model. I don't think it's any better than the Schneider version, but it's cool anyhow.
I'm still on the lookout for a nice II, but this IIIc is one gorgeous camera.

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 photo taken with Canon 5D + Carl Zeiss Pancolar 50/1.8
This was the chosen SLR that took over from my worn-out Petri - a Minolta SRT101 with 58mm f 1.4 lens - quite an upgrade in speed and a much longer focal length . I used to find when attending events where other photographers were present that I had to stand further back with this lens! It had through the lens metering which was the 'in' thing in 1971 - again the only electric function was the metering - otherwise manually operated. No problems with battery life in those days! The fast lens was pretty useful when chasing trains in low light. I also splashed out for a telephoto lens -a 135mm f2.8 which was used only occasionally for Buses , more often for Railway shots - and scenic of course.
I continued to use Agfa CT18 ,then the updated Agfa 64 speed version during the life of the Minolta.
The camera was given to my Nephew in 1982 when I changed to an Olympus OM1 for a few years trying to match my friends Olympus with a much better lens - it seems this was too expensive to produce and my version was minus one element and never matched up to my friends! In order to compare I decided to go to Zeiss lenses and really splash out on a Contax 139 in 1985. I never regretted this and now use the last generation of Contax film camera - an Aria model purchased in 2004.
Mind you I am considering getting a Digital compact - BUT will not give up my Zeiss lenses and will use both alongside each other for as long as Velvia film is made.

What a beauty of camera to end the Canonet saga and I think the rangefinder production by Canon. Last incarnation of the Canonet. 28 but sustantially different. Full auto exposure, but viewfinder info all the same. This was the first ever Canon to sport a pop-up flash.
However, the main selling point was the date function, something reserved for much more expensive cameras. By this time, however, the rangefinder game was over as the first autofocus models were already on the market.
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.
You can watch my review here:
This picture was actually made by my father. But I thought I'd post it to show off our Pentax kit.
I really love this old battleaxe. It's really a camera you can use in hand-to-hand combat. And it takes 'effing marvelous pictures if you point it in the right direction.
We also have a set of extension tubes which seemed to have dodged out of this group photo.
