My new toy. I just got this almost new Yashica. The first roll is exposed, probably I need to clean the view finder a little bit, but as far as I can judge at the moment, this is a great camera. Compared to the Electro GS/GSN series is this one much more sophisticated and a way smaller.

Yepp I couldn't stand not uploading that mirror self:) It was so long since I've last made one, and that hotel bathroom seemed to be kinda cool:) Available light was used, no strobes...

Ihagee Kamerawerk Steenbergen & Co, in Dresden, which was the largest independent camera manufacturer in Germany and was founded in 1912 by Johan Steenbergen.
Exakta is one of the very first SLR cameras in the world and Exakta was quite expensive camera and it was used mostly by the professionals.
Ihagee never made lenses of the own brand. Many manufacturers made lenses for Exakta.
The East German Zeiss lenses made for export, were marked from 1954 with different engravings. The brand name Carl Zeiss Jena is replaced by C.Z. Jena or Jena or aus Jena.
The lens names Biotar, Biometar, Sonnar, Tessar, Triotar were replaced by the letter B, Bm, S, T, Tr.
The true Exaktas are ones made by Ihagee in Dresden.
Notes about Exa/Exakta classification
I use the Exa/Exakta classification of Andrzej Wrotniak. As to me, it is the best.
Some opinions of a serious Exa/Exakta collector, F W Tappe :
Andrzej Wrotniak uses a very sensible classification, listed on his website, which I personally like the best. It is multi dimensional in setup, without being complicated!
Richard Hummel's 1995 book lists an "one dimensional" classification, which is incomplete, but many sources still refer to this.
Aguila and Rouah (A&R) in their 2003 edition of "Exakta cameras 1933 - 1978", come to an improved classification. They built on their previous 1987 edition classification, which was the leading standard among collectors.
Klaus Wichmann, prolific writer of books about Exakta - and Exa cameras, published his classifications earliest.

Got this at a St. Vincent DePaul store for $4.99! This is the f:1.9 lens version. I've taken the top off and cleaned the rangefinder and meter optics, cleaned the exterior and attempted to beat out a ding in the filter ring. The shutter speeds are all working and sound correct and the aperture works as it should.
The meter is working but is sporadic after the attempted lens ring repair. After I get into the lens I will be able to fix the sporadic problem. It's not that accurate anyway. I am able to use it manually, which I prefer anyway.
This building always caught my eye going down 33 from Elkhart to Goshen, Indiana. The town of Dunlap may or may not actually exist but that is what the commercial strip is called. Of course since I had finally made the effort to photograph it, it soon was demolished. I think there might have been a fire.

MICROCHIP
Un gioellino dell'elettronica il mio notebook.
Oggi accusa un pò il peso dei suoi 2 anni e mezzo ma quando me lo portai a casa era pregno di energia: processore a 64bit, vagonate di RAM, wi fi e roba varia.
Usato di rado e con estrema cura, ad oggi ancora puzza di nuovo.
All'incirca un mesetto fa lo appiccio per sistemare due foto e lo lascio acceso mentre scendo per pranzo; mi rimpinzo con il sano fritto e quando risalgo in camera il gioellino si è spento.
"Si sarà stancato" penso.
E lo riavvio.
Non si riavvia.
Stacco l'alimentatore e metto la batteria.
Non si riavvia.
"E' andato" penso.
E lo ripongo nell'armadio.
MICROCIOP
All'indomani decido di portarlo al centro assistenza, che poi non è altro che il rivenditore dove lo comprai, ovvero da quei mattacchioni di Computer Discount.
"Sicurametne è l'alimentatore" mi fa la tipa.
"Non credo, non parte neanche con la batteria" faccio io.
"Avrai la batteria scarica" fa lei.
"Non credo" faccio io.
Ci attacca un altro alimentatore.
Non si appiccia.
"Toccherà mandarlo in assistenza" fa lei.
"E mi sa" faccio io.
Lo mandano in assistenza.
Passa una settimana e ripasso al negozio per chiedere notizie; mi accoglie il tecnico.
Mi fa: "Mi sono appena interfacciato con l'HP per avere notizie".
Gli faccio un giro intorno per vedere dove ha la USB per interfacciarsi direttamente con l'HP e me ne rivado, chiedendogli che cortesemente mi aggiornino su eventuali sviluppi.
Mi aggiornano pochi giorni dopo, via telefono "Sicuramente è la scheda madre e non è conveniente sostituirla, se vuole provano ad aggiustarla, ma la avverto solo il preventivo, eventualmente sono 72€".
"Non fa nulla" faccio io "non mi va di rischiare che poi sicuramente non si può aggiustare e spendo a 72€ a vuoto".
"Ma, guardi solitamente ci riescono e con una cifra modica aggiusta il computer; in tal caso il preventivo non lo paga, ma solo la riparazione".
"Ok, allora va bene". Immediatamente dopo ho la sensazione inequivocabile che non lo aggiusteranno. Lo so, me lo sento.
Chiamano la settimana successiva.
"Non si può riparare, occorre sostituire la motherboard, costa 498€".
"Un prezzo onesto" faccio io "Lasci stare, appena posso passo da voi e vi dò i 72€ di preventivo che tanto già li avevo pronti..."
"Ok, mi spiace sà, quando viene comunque le mostro anche dei preventivi che le ho preparato sui 600/700€ per un nuovo notebook"
"Ah ok, me li stampi"...affarista si, ma rincoglionito non ancora...
Dopo aver ritirato il malato elettronico (72€ preventivi inclusi) torno a casa e mi affido ad una delle mie poche certezze: Ebay.
Raccatto una motherboard usata e funzionante dall'Inghilterra: 118€ spedita.
La monto. Qualche periferica (inutile) non corrisponde, qualche altro pezzetto mi tocca aggiustarlo da me, diverse viti mi avanzano.
Ma una volta chiuso tutto non si vede nulla e soprattuto: FUNZIONA!
Il gioellino è tornato.

Ok, so, this is what I put on the front of my camera to take really really close up photos of bugs. I have another shot in my photostream showing the full camera set up but I thought I'd just break the lens down so if anyone isn't sure exactly what's going on here this should make it pretty clear. Please see the comment below for details.
20 seconds, iso 100 at f/8 . backlight vivitar 285 HV w/green gel and LED flashlight shot thru a handwoven fabric. after 10 seconds i put the lens out of focus, then fired the backlight w/green gel so background is out of focus/blurred. NO PHOTOSHOP . all in camera.
Side view of my Canon 1000D with Canon 18-55mm IS lens attached (you can see the switch to choose whether you have IS on or off on the side of the lens).

Nikon EM 35mm Single Len Reflex Camera
with Nikon Series E 50mm f/1.8 Lens.
A compact lightweight SLR with aperture priority, introduced in 1979.
Minolta launched the X700 in 1981. It was the top model of their final manual-focus SLR series before the introduction of the auto-focus Minolta 7000.
It was a product of its time with multiple programs, electronically controlled shutter, TTL-flash-metering, ...
My Electronics Workbench includes computer Analysis and Diagnostic capabilities, working alongside a collection of Vintage
1950's - 70's reconditioned testing and evaluation equipment. My so called obsolete equipment includes a (factory built) HeathKit
Model 0-12 oscilloscope which has been around for over fifty years, However this device has been modified and serves me well.
I also use a Tektronix 465 scope and a computer scope for comparative purposes.
My Hewlett Packard collection includes the 410B, 400D voltmeters, a 5512A electronic frequency counter and a 202C low
frequency oscillator.
I have several vacuum tube testers. My primary unit is a Sencore MU140, which has been painstakingly reconditioned.
The unit was removed from it's original briefcase enclosure and was mounted into a slide out drawer under my workbench.
My secondary unit is a custom built computer assisted tube analyzer and the third unit is a B&K 747 for continuity and
comparison, providing me with backup in the event of a failure.
A note of possible interest: when I removed the Sencore's control panel from it's case, I found a Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory (NASA) Service Technician's punch list sheet with notes, plus additional Sencore documents in a plastic envelope
glued to the inside bottom of the briefcase enclosure which was a fascinating find.
I also have a few other interesting devices tucked away. Some other essential pieces of equipment I have besides a few extra
multimeters is a hand built multi outlet isolated & regulated power supply, several variable DC power supplies and a variable
metered autotransformer.
This equipment is just a chain of readily available components on the power supply end of an electronics workstation, assuring
an outcome that results in the best possible performance from your equipment and the tasks at hand. However a typical power
supply and protection setup like this is not fool proof and can be vulnerable and unreliable under certain conditions, making it
necessary at times to use battery operated (standalone) equipment in conjunction with your AC equipment while performing
certain multi point tests to avoid misleading readings.
All and all, I have enough confidence to use my vintage test equipment without computer assistance, weather it's a checkup,
test and repair job or even on a new build.
Some of the devices mentioned but not seen in this photo are kept in an easily movable autonomous roll out equipment
rack under my workbench.
Recent equipment includes an additional Sencore MU140 tube tester, a Hewlett Packard 339A Distortion Analyzer, a UDB /
DDS multi-function signal generator, a handheld Owon 60Mhz dual oscilloscope with advanced multi-functions and a Heath
Zenith variable isolated AC Power Supply, plus the lion's share of assorted specialty hand tools.
Surface mount devices have really miniaturized the electronics industry. These resistors (R63, R64) are only about 1mm x 2mm in size, replacing resistors that were about 10mm x 3mm in size a few years ago.
