I still have the original leather camera case for my wonderful Nikon F film camera. Here it is, newly polished.
My excellent old Nikon lenses still work on my Canon 70D with an adaptor. Fortunately, there seems to be no loss in angular coverage or f/number.
“Couples stood aside and stared at Tilly, draped in a striking green gown that was sculpted, crafted about her svelte frame. It curved with her hips, stretched over her breasts and clung to her thighs. And the material—georgette, two-and-six a yard from the sale stand at Pratts. The girls in their short frocks with pinched waists, their hair stiff in neat circles, opened their pink lips wide and tugged self-consciously at their frothy skirts.” – The Dressmaker (1996) written by Rosalie Ham.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 2nd of November is "needles or spines". Being a collector of vintage and antique haberdashery pieces, I have opted for the needles for this week's challenge. These needles, all of which are plated in gold, come from a deluxe antique needle case from the 1930s made of the most beautiful marone leather with hand tooled gold lettering identifying which types of needles they are. To show you just how small they are, I have photographed them against a sterling silver beehive thimble made by James Fenton & Company in 1904, and a spool of Rose brand buttonhole silk twist in a lovely shade of moss green. I decided to give the image a more vintage look by stripping out a bit of colour and adding a slight sepia tone. I hope you like my choice for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!

Last weekend of June, historical weekend in Den Helder. This time we used most of the weekend to sell pictures we made in the previous years. But still some time to escape and make some new shots and work them out.

A compact travel games set Josh got for Christmas (yes I did say Christmas, it really doesn't feel that long ago), the little chess pieces are really quite small, less than 1cm diameter and they are magnetic. When you open up the case you can also play backgammon (which I've never understood how to play) and checkers. We will be going away for a few days next week, we must remember to bring this along.

Like this combination of M4-P Nokton classic 35mm f1.4 s.c. And Leicameter MR + Leicatime case and strap.
This camera that my late father-in-law bought in the 1940's has none of the features we rely on today. No built in light meter, no auto focus and no pop-up flash! It was, however, lighter and more compact than older cameras. It took very good photos if you used it properly.
For the All New Scavenger Hunt #19 - Old technology.
This is the camera which took the next bunch of photographs I'll be posting ~ my 1935 Zeiss Super-Ikonta 'A' 530/16 ~ or 'The Little Angel', as I know her, as distinct from 'The Beast' ~ my 1950 Super-Ikonta 532 'B' 6x6.
I've included my lovely old 35mm Spotmatic SLR & 50mm lens, and the Zeiss's case, for a sense of scale...so people can see just how really dinky this little old german folder is, for a proper medium-format camera that shoots 120 film, and how it really can fit in one's coat pocket once folded ~ it's actually about the same size as the Spotmatic body, without a lens fitted (a little smaller all-round in fact, less it's case).
She has an uncoated 75mm f/3.5 - f/32 Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar lens (100% of Carl Zeiss equipment was "Jena", pre-WWII), in a Compur shutter with speeds from 1sec - 1/500th sec + 'B' & 'T' settings, and takes 16 6x4.5 frames off a roll, in portrait format when the camera's upright (you turn it on it's side, as here, for landscape format).
The old dear may be showing her age a bit ~ but this gal is still a 100% reliable picture-taker, and really turns a fair trick or two for a senior citizen, once she hoiks her skirts up for action.
And I just love her!
Another one of my little Retinetta, waiting for pics to come back from the lab, hopefully will be able to post the results...

There is no replacement of film photography, some of my best photos were taken with film cameras and I often give them good clothes.
For poor men wanting to own a Leica, Leica CL is the cheapest choice. This treasure can't be perfect without a case I tailor made for it particularly. Glad that I got some scrap white leather from a leather craft class I joined, the leather case design is after certain sport car paint pattern.
The snaps behind also act as good grip for a compact camera. Happy about it, tiny pleasure but that's the essence of life.

Brown version of the Panasonic's leather case makes the LX-3 look very traditional film camera.
August 30: I just realized I made it to explore, highest was #166 on May 13.
A $15 purchase scooped up on eBay. The lot included the camera with its original packaging, original paperwork, and an accessory Kodak Reflex leather(?) case. But I didn't bid on this camera for the body or the box. No. It was that very fine 45mm f/2.8 Schneider Xenar lens in the DKL mount I was after. It's a nice, nice lens. A fun optic to adapt to my Canon M50 Mark 2. I've owned . . . lots of these Instamatic Reflex Kodaks during my collecting years. They ALL arrived with a broken battery compartment door; it seems to have been a rampant problem back in the day and it certainly must have been one reason this example was priced so low by the seller.
I bought a new case for my camera, a nice leather one where I will be able to take my camera out and about with me more often. I have one now, but I wanted one that was less bulky. I want it to be protected, but I don’t think I have to keep it in a padded box of a case just to take it out with me.
There is not a way to hold batteries with this case, but my batteries hold their charge very, very well and I can easily keep one of them in my pack, truck, and anywhere else I might be. Here’s to more pictures out in the world!

The X100 is all dressed up and looking for someplace to go to. Finally I got my Gariz leather half-case for the X100. It's a fine looking case and is really well made.
my Leicatime - Luigi case from my D-Lux4 fits also!
Second special item you see here is the JJC - lenscap which opens when you turn the camera on

Found this very cool vintage camera sitting on a dusty shelf in an old vault that was located in a warehouse. I saw it sitting there all by itself, forgotten about for decades, untouched for just as long. It was perfect destiny, truly meant to be found by someone who would give it a new life. So of course I took it home inspected it inside and out, cleaned the lenses and dusted the body off. After a little TLC it looked to be in mint condition, like it was barely ever used.
I went to my local camera shop today to have someone inspect it and see if it was in working condition. The guy at the store couldn't believe how new it was being that it was made in 1967. He then walked me through all of its functions and buttons. Finally he showed me how to load the roll of film and wind it up to its first exposure. The most important part was that the shutter worked at its lowest and highest setting.
Cant wait to see what it does!

I´m so in love with my new camera, the Certo Certina. It´s a simple medium format camera made in Germany in the 50´s It´s quite Holga- like has 2 shutters 3 distanses Bulb or M setting and a wonderfully crappy lens. The body is sturdy and clumsy like a Holgas (though it seems made of aluminium and not plastic) and it has a cool vintage leathercase. Woha!

Classic cameras always had their own classic ‘ever ready’ camera carrying case. Two-part brown leather cases lined with red velour were usual to which was attached a leather strap to be carried over the shoulder or around the neck. Depending on the manufacturer, cases could be high quality examples of the leather workers art. Apertures in the case for access to camera controls often had distinctive polished metal finishing edges and case parts were secured by large press-studs fasteners. The whole appearance was one of quality and prestige discreetly set off by the camera maker’s name.
With the camera secure in its case, the case was opened to reveal the camera lens, viewfinder and operating controls and the photograph taken with the camera remaining in its protective case.
Shown is the leather case for the Kodak Retina Reflex III which is of the highest quality. Because many of the Retina’s controls were on its base, this required the case to be cut-away at these points. The visual effect of how this was done is as elegant as it is functional. The protective enduring quality of these cases explains why so many classic cameras have survived relatively unscathed to the present day.
