Re: Portraits of Your Gear
What a beautiful camera...brings back great memories.
I had three 500 series cameras over some 20 years and loved the format and the images...they also do well with the 16 MP MFDB backs. Scanned 120 http://forum.getdpi.com/forum/album....pictureid=1527 http://forum.getdpi.com/forum/album....pictureid=1528 Sorry that this is not a portait of my present gear....your photo just brought back some great memories. I know you will enjoy it! Bob |

Re: Portraits of Your Gear
I make it a note not the publicly post pictures of my gear...
Not a year ago, on another photo forum, someone posted a nice gear shot... not a week after someone broke into his apartment and stole the gear. Coincidence? IDK... but i prefer being cautious... and it's not the only story like that... Anyways, that Alpha is awfully smexy

Re: Portraits of Your Gear
One of my HASSELBLAD beauties from my collection . I got the view finder from e*ay for a ridiculous low price .

![]() This is the first HASSELBLAD wide angle camera . The SWA from 1954 in fully working order . I have attached the CFV-16 back to it and it works .

Re: Portraits of Your Gear
It is: to look at, and in use. I'm not sure what makes it such a pretty camera (to my eye, and yours). I suppose it's the finish and textures and proportions of the dials + the bright paint used for the controls?

Of course , we all have a different taste for design and form of a product . For me , the LEICA M-series cameras definately belong to the most beautiful 35mm cameras ever built . I was warned to start collecting LEICAs . Now , I know why . The other brand , not as old and traditional as LEICA , is HASSELBLAD . The V-System . Beautiful as well . IMHO . What other beauties do we have ? ? ?

The ROLLEIFLEX waters my mouth . That was my first camera to start into MF many years ago . Unfortunately , I sold it , which was wrong .

Here we have Gary's (nuclear) Alaska defence weapon . Looks as never used (mint) , pointing from NorthWest to SouthEast . Intentionally ? ? ? Here my defence weapon . It is to turn away those who want to steel Bavarian Bear .

Agree with M camera beauty. Notice my M immediately followed my Contax in this thread . I had just shot the Contax in the snow and cold, so it was top in my mind at the moment. |

Re: Portraits of Your Gear
Lots of truly fine camera gear here! I'm suddenly feeling an overwhelming desire for a Rollei TLR and a classic Leica rangefinder.
![]() I love the photos of your Hasselbalds Jurgen, both the SWA and the 201F....is that is a 250 or 350 SA mounted on it? I think I'll have to get a photo of my 553ELX with the CF350 posted here soon! ![]() Keep 'em coming folks.....I love seeing all this beautiful equipment. Gary |

Re: Portraits of Your Gear
Gary
It is the CZ TELE-TESSAR FE4/250 T* . I do not have any SA lens . Too expensive . True . Mmmm a ROLLEI TLR 2,8 would be wonderful , but I restrict my collection to only one brand and that is HASSELBLAD . But that does not mean , that I do not love cameras of other brands . You just can't have everything . Monza Please give more details of that LEICA beauty . Type and age would be nice . Here comes the beauty of the week . An absolute unique camera . My VINTAGE QUEEN . It is a HASSELBLAD "1600F" built in 1951 . The camera you see was sold as is , body , lens and magazine , to a swedish dealer , who sold it to a photographer in Goeteborg . I am the second owner of this beauty . The lens is an EKTAR and has a metric distance scale . Most EKTARs had a scale in feet , as they were for the american market . The camera is fully serviced and works properly . I shot some rolls of film with her last year . Her ? ? ? . A camera is a female here in Germany . ![]() ![]() ![]() And here is an excerpt of the HASSELBLAD ledger books . The camera you see above is the one in row three . ![]() I hope , you like what you see . Some more xxx rated . . . . . . . .

The If is essentially a IIIf without slow speeds or a viewfinder/rangefinder, which makes it a IIf without a viewfinder/rangefinder...if that makes sense... It normally sports a 28mm Color Skopar and a 28/35 minifinder, scale focused. ![]()

Have you actually already taken images with these "guys" ? ? ? Quote:
Thank you monza . I think , it is always interesting to know something about the history of the VINTAGE gear . A very nice P&S 35mm camera , more than 50 years old .

Re: Portraits of Your Gear

Your M2 is a beauty . Nice to see CZ glass and a Voigtländer view finder attched . I have a Konica Hexar RF (Leica equivalent) but no image . I also own the FUJI GW690III . So I will not post an image . I like that camera , but the rangefinder is a bit weak . This is a great thread . Forum members , please post more of your "beauty" portraits .

Re: Portraits of Your Gear
My Barnack is a iiig. I bought it here on the forum and sent it for a CLA and a new red "coat". It is vintage 1956/early 1957. The iiig came out after the introduction of the M3 and is the last of the Barnacks. The iiig incorporated some of the inovations from the new M line, but is LTM mount. It has a rangefinder window (very nice patch) and a framing window. It has both 50 and 90mm framelines. I have a 1946 35 f/3.5 Elmar on it and an SBLOO viewfinder.

Re: Portraits of Your Gear
+1 Very strong family resemblance between the Contax cameras. I really love where the exposure compensation knob sits. It's just right.

Thanks. I got lucky with my M2. Purchased in the local camera shop. It's a user, but very nice. I'm a big Zeiss fan (which further explains the Contax ).I don't mind my Fuji's viewfinder. I guess the RF "dot" is a little weak, but the VF is so huge, and easy to use with glasses. |

Re: Portraits of Your Gear
An other vintage MF camera , not as old as the beautiful ROLLEICORD , but from the 1950 s . A very good foldable 6x6 , fully functional .
I have shot two rolls of EKTAR 100 with that beauty last year . The range finder is a ZEISS IKON .

Re: Portraits of Your Gear
It should be forbidden to post images with such wonderful LEICAs .
The M series beauties are just great . But these images stimulate toooooo much desire .
