Bought at a carboot(flea maket) today...
Thought it would make a nice display item, I don't really need it to work, just want to have it for my collection...
Pentacon Praktica body M42 screw mount, Carl Zeiss Jenna 50/2.8, Photax Super Paragon 75-200/4.5 and Metz Mecablitz 302 BS speedlight... all for £20!!
It looks like it has been sit out and unused for quite a long time and the battery had died out...
Both lenses have some fungus in the elements, and the diaphragm of the Carl Zeiss is stuck but the Photax seems to be working fine....
A close inspection and to my my surprise, the Photax lens diameter is 52mm!!
Wuddaya know!! It would be a perfect fit for my Nikon reversal micro ring!!
Well, at least I still can use the lens for my micro...

Attic treasure. A very simple point-and-click camera. You can pick them up on eBay for less than 10 dollars. I think they make for nice decoration.
Redundant with my Hasselblad 500C/M, but I needed to own one ... that's it .....
It came with an extra lens, 2 sets of filters, the original case, the user manual, a Polaroid back ....
The A35 Datelux (also named the 'Nighter' in Japan; a reference to night-time baseball matches[1]) is a 35mm rangefinder camera with date imprint, made by Canon in October 1977,[2] several months before the A35F (the same camera without a date-imprint function) was sold in Europe and the Americas. It has a five-element 40mm f/2.8 lens, focusing down to 0.8 metre. The rangefinder is integrated into the viewfinder, which has frame-lines for parallax-error correction at close focus, and also shows the aperture scale with the meter needle, over- and under-exposure warnings, and a battery check.[1] The camera is one of the last Canon made with manual rangefinder focusing (the A35F is the last), but their first with a built-in flash. The flash, with Guide No. 12 (metres, at ISO 100) is in the top housing, on the user's left (pushing the folding film-rewind crank toward the middle of the top plate). The flash is popped up and retracted manually, but exposure (with or without flash) is automatic. Exposure without flash is program AE controlled by a CdS meter between EV 9 and 17 at ISO 100. Flash exposure uses a system named CATS (Canon Auto Tuning System), computing the aperture to be used from the subject distance set on the RF and the film speed (just as manual flash is computed).
The date-imprint function can be switched off, with the switch seen on the front of the camera. The date is set on the lens barrel.
Just finished my fist test roll in my 1951 Nikon S Rangefinder with 50mm f1.4 lens. Happy with the results the images feel old.
This was my morning "wake up" call, my little dog Pearl, circa 1959. This is, obviously, a picture of a picture. But it was taken with my first "real" camera, an early Kodak 35 mm, with f. stop and depth of field rings on the lens, a shutter speed dial, a built in light meter, and a flash (bulb) attachment. I eventually gave it to my Mother who used it for 30+ years to take pictures of her doll collection. I have it packed away somewhere, but plan to get it out and run some 35 mm film through it while that is still available. Moral of the story: I have loved dogs and camera for a long time. Excuse the long missive!
