Something about this gets me more charged up than even the latest and greatest digital stuff. No battery! Great knobs! Love my Rollei!

Lots of truly fine camera gear here! I'm suddenly feeling an overwhelming desire for a Rollei TLR and a classic Leica rangefinder. :eek:

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! :D

Keep 'em coming folks.....I love seeing all this beautiful equipment.

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 .

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 . . . . . . . .:clap:

A little lens porn:



Is it just me, or does the 17mm TS-E look like the love child of Darth Vader and R2D2?

It's a Leica If from 1956, with a 50mm SBOOI brightline lifesize viewfinder and a 50/3.5 Collapsible Elmar.

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. :)

Nice image . I call it the drunken Canon siblings .
Have you actually already taken images with these "guys" ? ? ?

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 .:thumbup:

Darn pretty camera. My IIc and IIf were kinda beat up when I bought them in 1969, never looked like that while I had them. The Elmar 5.0cm f/3.5 and 3.5cm f/3.5 lenses were very nice too.

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 .

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.
