The OM10 was the first consumer camera in the OM line. Its lines are not quite as ellegant as the classic OM1 but it's still an OK, inexpensive 35mm SLR.
WEEK 29 – Carrollton, GA, Target (II)
Panning to the left, we get a view of the sleek new electronics desk: a far cry not only from the bulky “boats” of old, but also even the more modern “Target Electronics” desks! I guess a bunch of hard edges, reflective white material, and a backlit front shelving space will do that for you… speaking of which, I actually think it’s quite clever how that space has been utilized for an all-in-one battery station, even if it does sacrifice having any true branding to help identify the desk’s purpose.
That arrowed remodel sign informs us that we will encounter the entertainment, sporting goods, toys and games, and auto and home improvement departments as we press forward toward the store’s left-side wall, and indeed we shall, as our stour continues two weeks from now. Stay tuned!
NEXT WEEK – more from the Oakland Kroger post-remodel…

A Werra Matic with the 35mm f2.8 lens fitted and the 50mm f2.8 and 100mm f4 lenses along side.
----------
A while back I bought on eBay a complete Carl Zeiss Jena Werra outfit consisting of a Werra III rangefinder camera together with a complete set of 35mm, 50mm and 100mm lenses, all in a beautiful set of cases. The only problem was that the camera itself didn't work. Rather than send it back I decided to keep it as a complete outfit like this isn't something you see very often, and I thought that buying a replacement camera wouldn't take long or be very expensive.
Well it took me longer than I thought to find a really nice Werra camera to allow me to actually try out these lenses, but I have finally found one!
My original camera was a 'flat-top' Werra from the original series of cameras. I've always thought these original cameras are the purest of the Werras, and the III is most minimal of all without the light meter to sploil the top plate.
This Werra Matic is from the last series of camera. Not only does it have the slightly fussy striped details on the front, it also had an accessory shoe and the various windows for the light meter. But it is still a very attractive camera.
By modern standards these Werras are rather fiddly and fussy cameras to operate, but all Werras have some thoughful and very unusual design touches. The most famous one is the wind-on mechanism: see that wide band around the base of the lens? A quick twist of this band with advance the film and automatically cock the shutter ready for the next shot.
Almost as famous is the combined lens cap and lens hood which cover up all the dials when the camera is put into storage/carry mode.
The Werra Matic is the most advanced of all the Werras. It has a cross coupled light meter with a read out in the viewfinder. And a clever mirror in the viewfinder reflects a view of both the shutter speed and aperture setting into the viewfinder. Like all interchangeable lens Werras the viewfinder also features frame lines for the 50mm and 100mm lenses (with the whole viewfinder serving the 35mm lens).
I particularly like the range finder on these Werras... it is very bright and clear and easy to use.

This old camera is not just any old camera, but my dad's own personal AE-1 from when he was in high school. It still works, and I have a few awesome pictures from it. The lens mounted on it is a Canon FD 50mm f/1.8, but I also have a Vivitar FD 75-205mm f/3.5
I used to have a Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 for this, but I took it apart and slapped an EF mount on it for manual focus fun on my DSLRs.

The PCB Group Order! Woo!
The full 22x16 panel, with a lot of empty space. I could've fit a bunch more boards.
Now here's more the sort of cab-shot I try to get wherever possible. Albeit wishing for far from the first time that I had a wider angle lens!
No, I wasn't tearing along at 80mph here either, for some reason the speedo was having a bit of a fit at the time and was convinced we were however. While I reckon 131 might actually be able to get to 80 given a long enough road, don't think it would do so in neutral...and I'd be rather more concentrating on where I was going than taking photos! Know there was a ground fault somewhere in the nearside rear corner causing issues for the tail lights, so if it's fed from an electronic pickup on the gearbox I guess these things could be related. Alternatively it might just need someone to give the instrument panel a firm thump in the right place...Finding gremlins in a car is bad enough...Hunting the suckers in a bus must be all manner of fun...I'll get my multimeter shall I?
131 is definitely one of my favourites of the collection up at Alford. I've always liked these Olympians, having grown up with them I guess. They look like a bus, they smell like a bus, they feel like a bus, and sound like a bus - in the case of Olympians like this with the Cummins L10 engine in particular have a hugely satisfying thunderous exhaust note.
Goes well this one too!
The technic works very well after all this years! We heard radio messages from all over the world there...That made real fun!
Die Technik funktioniert noch hervorragend nach all den Jahren! Wir haben dort Funksprüche aus der ganzen Welt empfangen...Das hat richtig spass gemacht...
New toy: a 105mm macro lens. Not the Nikkor, but I think I'll have fun with this one. Playing around for a few minutes here, learning to find the sweet spot for focusing...

not sure about this as the lens assembly was loose and I'm not sure I put it back correctly
The original Duaflex was introduced in 1947, and was manufactured both in America and in England. The U.S. & U.K. versions differed in appearance, and I've always been partial to the British version.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any "camerosity" code inside this one, so I can't date it precisely. Nonetheless, I am happy to add it to my collection!
My Leica M6 classic with .85 rangefinder (apparently, it is a very rare combo) and Summicron DR 50mm.
Please comment below if you have any feedback -- thank you :-)

Summicron 35mm ASPH @ f2 1/30
Great little TLR with a 'Cooke' Triplet 'taking' lens and a nice bright f2.8 triplet viewing lens.
I have, since taking this picture removed the viewing hood and cleaned the back of the viewing lens, the mirror and the focussing screen. It's now crystal-clear and ready for an 'outing' :)
Shutter speeds, 1,1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125 & 1/300.
Apertures, 3.5, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16 & 22.
with a MC Rokkor PF 55mm/f1.7
This picture was taken with a Minolta MC Macro Rokkor 50mm/1:3.5 adapted to the Minolta A-Mount on a A900. Two wireless flashes and umbrellas were used for the lighting.
Have a good time and thanks for your comments.
The Fujica 35-SE was a 35mm rangefinder released in the late 1950s. There were two versions, one with a Fujinon 45mm f/1.9 lens and the other with a Fujinon 45mm f/2.8 lens. The f/1.9 lens had leaf shutter speeds of B, 1"-1/1000" and the f/2.8 B, 1"-1/1000". The camera came with a selenium meter, thus no batteries were required. Another feature of the camera was a shutter-aperture linkage, such that once you set the aperture and shutter speed, changing the shutter speed would correspondingly change the aperture. For example, if the meter reading was set for 1/60" at f/8, you could change the shutter to 1/125" and the aperture would automatically change to f/5.6.
An overview of the electronics desk (still rocking P97 style!), which is the centerpiece of the section itself. You'll note that this store has electronics and entertainment, while nearby, still technically separated. The departments are separated in new stores as well, I suppose, but they're right beside each other rather than across an aisle and oriented in a different direction.

I've had this Minolta 9000 for some time but without a suitable lens to go with with it. This Sunday I was at an antique fair and I managed to pick up a 50mm f1.7 lens for the bargain price of £18! Yay!
Unfortunately something isn't quite right :-( The lens isn't shutting down to the taking aperture properly, and I can't tell if it is the camera or the lens to blame. I have a freind with a Sony DSLR which I thinbk I will have to borrow to find out!
The Minolta 9000 was launched in 1985 and it was Minolta's second auto focus SLR camera after the 7000 launched just a few months earlier.
The 9000 provided a more professional feature set with a tough metal body, fast 1/4000 sec top shutter speed and an optional 5fps motor drive. Without the optional motor drive, and unlike the earlier 7000, power for the film advance is provided solely by the photographers thumb. Interesting factoid: the Minolta 9000 was the only AF SLR ever made with a manual film advance!
But despite the professional feature set, the AF was painfully slow… professional photographers would have to wait a couple more years before autofocus systems developed to a point that could really satisfy their needs.

The fixed lens is from a Branette camera, vintage 1950's.
The lens was dismounted from the body of the camera quite easily, via a retaining ring, screwed onto the rear of the lens.
The shutter was disabled, but the aperture was maintained.
After many different attempts at keeping the lens in its otherwise normal physical condition, it was decided the any rear pins and protrusions, would be cut away- Dremel tool. This allowed for the rear of the lens to be relatively flat, but still maintain for the freedom of the aperture control to be used.
The rear of the lens has a M25 thread. Many various configurations came and went to get this to mount to an M42 adapter. it was finally settled to order an M25 to M42 adapter ring.
Mounting this to a M42 to NEX adapter, it would not focus to infinity.
Mounting to a 17-33mm helicoid solved the issue.
This can be seen here.
Volkach, December 2006 -
... thought I try "product photography", though I was too lazy to set up light etc. properly.
This is the genuine Atari CX 40 "Standard Joystick Controller".
The mother of all joysticks. Forget all the others !!
Atari is actually the inventor of the joystick: The CX40 was the world's first joystick. It was sold together with the "old" Atari VCS and was first released in 1977. The VCS 2600 jr. was shipped with the successor of the CX40.
Just received a package from Amazon with a new Lumix 45-150 zoom lens. I am impressed with the lens' light weight and decent build. It feels right and balances well on the E-M5 body.
Interestingly I took this picture of the E-M5 and lens with my GX1 and 20mm and like the GX1's JPEG output better than the other picture I posted of the GX1 and 45-150 lens taken with the E-M5.

At least an interesting Samsung camera (sort of). This AF Slim has its eyes set on the Konica Big Mini or A4. The design is cool for a Samsung, but subdued, it carries a yellow sticker saying "Good Design", just in case you missed.
It is a compact camera, but not small as the Olympus Mju:II. still, it offers some nice specs, like the auto macro-mode, the camera automatically detects close by subjects and switchs to macro mode, focusing from .35 cm (I think). There are all the normal flash option, plus a B setting. There is also a continuous shooting mode, 2 self-timer modes and an intervalometer 60 min and 30 min. Nice classy touch is a dedicated function for rewinding the film, no pen tip here needed.
I wish I knew more about the lens or shutter, but I couldn't find any information about this little camera
