This one was made in the mid 1950s. Except for one issue with the shutter curtains (which I can sort of work around) it still works.
It came with a Zeiss Sonar 50mm f/1.5 lens. The shutter speeds range from 1 second to 1/1250 second and include T and B. The built in selenium light meter still works too (no batteries required).

This Tokina 16-28mm has been my superwide zoom lens of choice for my Canon 5D3 for a couple of years now. It is razor sharp and has produced some of my most popular images on my Flickr stream.
A few months back autofocus just stopped working ... I have no idea why. The lens has always been treated so well, never dropped, never exposed to bad weather, always spoken to nicely ...
Anyway, I took it into a camera shop and decided not to go down the path of getting it sent off for repair. I took this photo for my ebay listing, but thought i'd put it on my Flickr stream as a tribute! I've replaced this lens with a Canon 16-35mm f4 which is a real gem (and even sharper!).
Farewell faithful little Tokina!
Once again, Jonathan managed to fit a few oddball cameras into his bag. This time the little Cosina CX-1 was in there with his trusty GF1 and Ricoh GXR. Thanks to Glen for a bit of time with the sort-of-new Olympus m.Zuiko Digital 17mm f/1.8... I like this lens! Photographed on a Vancouver-area Four Thirds Photographers photowalk with Collun, Eugene, Glen, Jonathan, NJ, Ryan, and Sean. Coal Harbour, Vancouver. April 3, 2013.
Picked up a sticky mirrored LX today from a really nice guy called Glenn. Classic photographer who never seemed to hang on to digital. Thanks mate, hope to catch up again!

Pioneer SX-1980, 1280 and 1080 are the three largest receiver of the end of the seventies golden HiFi years. They were the uncompromising top sellers in the international market receiver that you could buy in the HiFi-Studios. Comparable stereo there was still made by manufacturers like Sansui, Marantz and a few other manufacturers, at least from the then leading Japanese productions.
The SX-1080 offers a power output of 140 watts per channel based on an oversized power supply and a lot of power transistors.
The beautiful real wood case with prominent cheeks, brushed solid aluminum front panel, the large transformer as well as an enormous amount of circuitry allow the SX-1080 heavy weight with 22kg.
The SX-1080 is optically pure a convincing argument in the living area for enjoyment of vintage stereo in your house.

Pioneer SX-1980, 1280 und 1080 sind die drei grössten Receiver aus dem Ende der goldenen siebziger HiFi Jahre. Sie waren die kompromisslosen Topseller im internationalen Receiver Markt, die man in den Hifi-Studios erwerben konnte. Vergleichbares Stereo gab es noch von den Herstellern wie Sansui, Marantz und wenigen anderen Herstellern, zumindest aus den seinerzeit führenden japanischen Produktionen.
Der SX-1080 bietet eine Leistung von 140 Watt je Kanal basierend auf einem überdimensionierten Netzteil und jeder Menge Leistungstransistoren.
Das schöne Echtholzcase mit markanten Wangen, die gebürstete massive Aluminiumfrontplatte, der grosse Trafo sowie ein enormer Schaltungsaufwand lassen den SX-1080 zu einem Schwergewicht mit 22kg werden.
Der SX-1080 ist rein optisch ein überzeugendes Argument im Wohnbereich für Freude am Vintage Stereo im Haus.
This camera + 3-lens kit will run you about $1350 in the used market right now and is what I recommend for most people who ask me these days:
-Olympus OM-D E-M5
-Panasonic 14mm f/2.5
-Olympus 25mm f/1.8
-Olympus 45mm f/1.8
Just the right combination of size, weight, and functionality.

My Canon A-1, which i've been using quite a bit lately. Interesting, back in the days of using film all the time, you are more conservative with taking shots because you've only got 24 or 36 photos on the film. You take the shot, and don't see the results until a long time later when you process the film ... fast forward to now and everything is instant. You can fit a zillion shots on a memory card (well less in RAW like I do now), and you know how it looks instantly. Such a great way to learn.
So i'm finding that my film photography has improved heaps because of my digital photography. AND i'm loving film photography again - I find the images so wonderful - the limits of exposure are very different (I read somewhere that digital photography has a linear relationship with light, whereas our eyes and film don't respond in this way).
Anyway, i'm out taking lots of photos with film at the moment. I'll see what is worthy of uploading. Love this A-1 camera too - always did, but REALLY love it now.
Happy New Year Flickr Friends! I hope everyone had a fantastic New Years' Eve. We had a blast. Such good times! I am a little sad it's all over but now I am ready to rock the pants out of 2011! Are you?

Thanks for checking out my work!
Century Graphic (149/365)
This is a 1950's Century Graphic 6x9 camera. It's my second press camera the first one from Graphic would be the full sized Speed Graphic seen in BOoOOOKKkkkkEEEHhhhhh to the right of the photo. This particular one uses the 101mm F4.5 Ektar lens, similar to my 4x5 (uses a 127mm).
This was bought today at a camera show, I was originally looking for a "23" Graphic back to use it on my Mamiya press Universal and there were many dealers who were selling that but they were all asking like 80-120 dollars depending on condition! This came with one of those AND a ground glass and the camera for 175. So what I'm saying is that for about 55 more dollars I have a very nice cap for my "23" Graphic back.
These are AMAZING camera's by the way, if you ever have the chance to own one of these DO IT. They are the most fantastic value for money, there is no other 6x9 camera that will be as fun to use, and have as much freedom or as much modularity for so little money. The thing is also TINY to boot, it's smaller than the Fuji GW690 and lighter as well and it folds up into a tiny tiny box.
