Although the noise-elimination performance of this quite expensive unit is impressive, I have one or two minor "beefs" about the design.
Firstly I don't like the use of stereo 3.5mm connectors (I would have much preferred RCA/Phono connections if "domestic" connectors were to be used - professional XLR would have been better still but would probably have commanded professional prices!), and secondly I had to buy some self-adhesive feet (not shown) to prevent the unit from sliding around all over the place on my desk!
I'm not too keen on the slider switch used for the Off/On/DSP On function either.
However, most importantly, the performance is very good.
I got this since it solves most of the problems i have with the Zorki but it's a bit bigger than the Zorki making it slightly less pocket-able, luckily i can use a neck strap with this thanks to the strap lugs. Was unsure of the mushroom style film advance since i prefer the styling of the Zorki's one, but after playing with the camera it's much nicer to advance with.
My main SLR from 1977 -2004 . with the 50mm f/2.0 MD Rokkor lens plus 28mm f/ 2.8 and Tamron 200mm f/3.5. this camera always had film loaded and ready to go and has been 100% reliable, Think the camera with 50mm lens set me back 3 weeks wages to buy new so would be equal to buying a Canon 7D with kit lens now days.
The first battery lasted 15 years and so did the next , of late I have fitted a 1.5v replacement which works ok according to my Western Master lightmeters

La FED (Виробничому Машинобудівному Об'єднанні «ФЕД») fu creata nel 1932 per insegnare un mestiere agli ospiti un orfanotrofio sito nel comune di Char'kov, allora capitale dell'Ucraina e intitolato a Feliks Ėdmundovič Dzeržinskij, il temuto fondatore della Cheka che era la polizia segreta dalla quale nacque il KGB. La FED fu la prima fabbrica di macchine fotografiche 35 mm nate nell'URSS e dal 1934 inizió a produrre su larga scala una fedele copia della Leica II a telemetro.
Alcuni modelli poi furono anche progettati autonomamente, e malgrado si tratti di autentici gioielli di meccanica, solo a causa del maggior numero di esemplari prodotti mantengono quotazioni molto più accessibili rispetto alle originali tedesche. È il caso della FED 2 che, a detta di molti esperti, é una delle migliori telemetro sovietiche mai immessa sul mercato poiché i progettisti presero l'otturatore Leica, il telemetro da 67mm della Contax cosí come il suo sistema di caricamento della pellicola, praticamente il meglio della produzione tedesca d'anteguerra, e unirono il tutto in un piacevole design creando cosí un classico senza tempo. La versione in foto é una C del 1958/59, l'obiettivo é un industar 26m 5cm f.2,8 uno tra i piú apprezzati tra quelli di produzione sovietica e costruito in circa 725.000 unitá tra il 1957 ed il 1959.
La dotazione tecnica e la qualità dell'ottica di questo modello sono di assoluta eccellenza:
- Obiettivo con lente INDUSTAR 26m con focale di 5cm, 4 elementi in tre gruppi
- Diaframma a iride fra i due gruppi ottici dell’obiettivo, con aperture da f/2.8 a f/16
- Otturatore sul piano focale a tendina in tela con tempi da 1sec. a 1/500sec. e posa B
- Inquadratura con mirino galileiano con regolazione delle diottrie
- Messa a fuoco mediante telemetro
- Bocchettone tipo Leica con passo a vite 39mm compatibile con una vasta gamma di ottiche
La FED ha continuato a produrre fotocamere fino al 1997 per un totale di 8.647.000 di pezzi superando per numero quella delle Leica originali. Oggi la fabbrica produce attrezzature ottiche militari.
Come in tutte le Leica e cloni vari é necessario armare l'otturatore prima di regolare i tempi, pena rottura del meccanismo.
Nikon new D810: the world's sharpest DSLR, launched in July 2014 (36 MPix, ISO 32-64-12800-51200, 5 fps - up to 7 fps).
It is interesting to note the external similarity between these two Yaesu hybrid classics, though the internals differ considerably.
The 101Z range may be considered to be a cost-reduced version of the 901 (later 902) range, though somewhat ironically, the former went through more significant changes and improvements during its production life.
Arguably, the 101ZD in its final incarnation as shown here, the Mk3 is the more flexible radio to use operationally.
The 902 is more sturdily constructed, and weighs quite a bit more than the 101, although you wouldn't think so from their appearance.

1973 Even today, one of the best tuner. The complex structure of the Pioneer electronics is fantastic. Difficult to get a TX-9100 today.

Noch heute einer der besten Tuner. Der aufwendige Aufbau feinster Baulemente ist fantastisch. Es bleibt schwierig einen Pioneer TX-9100 heute zu bekommen.
A cased version of the Vibrati Punk Console:
Optimized for studio and performance with line-out and pulse control.
Seen Here: The PCB out of the bag! (Torch see-through vision!)
So, today my PCB for the LED matrix arrived from BatchPCB! For what I paid, the PCB arrived fairly quickly - I ordered it on the 15/02 I believe, and it arrived 11/03 -- 26 days, which is pretty good (they state 19 business days).
The quality is very, very impressive - far better than anything I could pull off at home. The silkscreen and soldermask makes it look really nice, too.
Soldering it was a joy, although there was a LOT to solder and it's all surface mounted.
I had a few problems at first; it wasn't lighting the matrix at all properly but I soon realised with my new design (transistors on the cathodes) I have to write the transistors HIGH to get a LOW on the cathode, so a quick line of code changed to get that working.
Then for some reason the top half of every letter was flipped. It turns out this was my fault: I messed up when making the package for the LED matrix in Eagle, swapping the matrix's 5th cathode for my system's 8th, 6th for 7th, 7th for 6th and 8th for 5th. This was fairly easy to fix in code, however.
Finally USB isn't working to program or communicate, but I can configure the FT232RL chip (after all, it's sending the clock pulse that's driving my ATmega168). I think I have an idea of what's causing this, but I'm not sure yet.

I got this at a flea market for $15! it is in excellent condition, shutter and everything works. I had to clean and repair the rangefinder housing as it was gummed up and the focus spot wouldn't move freely.
1956 Agfa Super Silette, Synchro-Compur shutter, Solagon 50mm 1:2 lens
Size:
Size wise, Fuji X-Pro 1 falls between my Canon 5D Mark II, and Olympus E-PM1.
The Olympus is almost exactly the SAME size as Sony HX9v, a point and shoot camera. The difference is that Sony's pocketable due to its retracted lens whereas Olympus, even with the small Panny 14mm f/2.5 lens will not fit in a jean pocket.
If memory serves me right, the X-Pro 1 size is similar to M8. That means, I will still keep a smaller E-PM1 and will not be terribly tempted to buy the upcoming Olympus OM-D E5.

I can't believe that I am already on week 18. It seemed like just yesterday that I started.. And I could not have done it without all of your support!! These past few months have gone by so fast. :)
Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Súper
(1958 / 1962)
Cámara SLR semi-automático con escala y cambio rápido.
Medidor de selenio.
B 1 hasta 500.
Lente standar: PRO TESSAR 50mm 2.8
Funcionamiento:
Esta cámara es la evolución de las Contaflex I, II, III y IV.
Comparte con la contaflex III y IV el objetivo Tessar 50 mm 2.8 y toda la gama de accesorios, los objetivos de 35, 85 y 115 mm así como el Steritar y la lente 1:1.
El cuerpo es sensiblemente mas grande, con la zapata de accesorios incorporada (hasta ahora era una opción) y como novedad una trasera intercambiable que permite cambiar de película a mitad de carrete.
Mantiene el no retorno automático del espejo, así que una vez has disparado para poder ver por el visor tienes que volver a cargar la maquina, pero ya incorpora palanca para facilitar el arrastre de la película.
Tiene un medidor de selenio encima del objetivo con un visor de lectura del medidor tanto interior como exterior.
El medidor se regula mediante la pequeña rueda del frontal (que también sirve para el valor ISO/ASA) que actúa directamente sobre la apertura del objetivo dando un rango de apertura/velocidad.
Los siguientes modelos de Contaflex ya usaron este como base, modificando sobre todo el medidor (TTL en los últimos modelos) y el automatismo de la exposición.
En uso:
Cámara cómoda y fácil de usar.
Bastante intuitiva.
Yo he tenido algún problema con la exposición (sobrexpone un poco) pero sabiéndolo lo corriges en los carretes posteriores.

The Canon FTb was introduced by Canon in March 1971. It is a mid-range 35mm SLR designed to use the FD-fitting lenses from the Canon F-1 range.
The QL badge on the front denoted Canon's Quick Load system; the film was placed across the takeup-spool and the back closed; the film was automatically wound around the spool when the advance lever was operated.
The pentaprism viewfinder features a fresnel matt focus screen with a microprism focus aid. The FTb had open-aperture TTL metering, with a match-needle display in the viewfinder. Metering was powered by a 1.35v mercury battery - now unobtainable, but alternatives are available. Meter film speed range ran from 25 to 2000 ISO.

I've bought this nice camera in USA (Ebay) for 20$ in 2008. After a complete revision, it starded working perfectly like a swiss clock :-)
Nice the 50mm f1:1,2, isn't it? (It's my fastest lens)
