Will be listing a number of different cameras in the "Used Other" section soon

Will be listing a number of different cameras in the "Used Other" section soon

Rolleiflex cameras are the best!  But we can love many other brands too right? 

What kinds of cameras and formats do the rest of you work with?   I personally am shooting with 4x5, 5x7, 8x10, and even 11x14 film, and of course I have to try out most of the new digital cameras too.   Currently I have over 100 cameras and that's just way too many!   So I'll be listing some of them here very soon.  I also have taken in on consignment or trade many Leica, Contax, and other items.   These will all be listed in the "Used Other" section.  

Coming up soon:

  • Leica M Monochrom and M lenses
  • Leica CM
  • Contax T3 (the worlds best point and shoot)
  • Zone VI 4x5
  • Zeiss Contarex Hologon (this is so cool!)
  • Fuji GFX 100s with several lenses (my own, I just don't use)
  • Pakon 135+ scanner and laptop with software preconfigured
  • Linhof 617 Technorama
  • Linhof Super Technika
  • Plaubel 670  (this was a tough call - either that or the Bessa III)
  • Sony A7rIV
  • Linhof 5x7 (13x18) Technika
  • Probably some Hasselblad V
  • Graflex SLR 3x4 converted to 4x4

Just got in several TLR's including a nice 2.8FX, two 3.5E3's, 2.8C, MX automats, and baby Rollei's.

Just got in on consignment several TLR's that are very clean.  I've tested them all and all but two are working so well, I won't send them for service and will be listing them soon.   I also have a 45 deg TLR prism, 2.8 and 3.5 Mutars, Rolleinar sets for bay III and bay II, and a number of filters in all sizes.  If you're looking for something let me know.   

I'll be photographing these items soon...

Lens shade for 40mm FLE distagon now available

Lens shade for 40mm FLE distagon now available

For more than 6 years I have not been able to get new lens shades for the Zeiss 40mm FLE distagon lenses.  Dr. Cam (Wulf Koehler) who has worked with the factory for decades has now made a high quality reproduction version of the shade.  This attaches to the lens via a locking thumb screw like the 40mm Schneider shades and accepts standard 95mm screw in filters.   It's really nicely made and works great!   I have one in stock.

Zeiss 30mm PQ fisheye for Rolleiflex 6000 and Hy6
