Been spending a lot of time on here!
I found the above Graflex RB Series B camera at a yard sale in Hollywood.
It's in near mint condition and functional and includes a very nice 127mm
f/4.5 coated Kodak Ektar lens. This is a revolving back model for 2¼X3¼
format. I sold this one to help fund my addiction.
^ Olympus 35-S II with 42mm f/1.8 lens. A nifty rangefinder camera. Got it
for $10 at a swap meet. The camera worked fine when I found it but the
the original top cover was ugly and rusty. I found another junker with a
nice top and swapped it out and cleaned up the viewfinder. A very
pleasant camera to use and the 1.8 lens is hard to find. A keeper.
^ Voigtlander Vito II, mint in box with case and instructions.
Sold it.
^ Yashica Lynx 14E with huge 45mm f/1.4 lens. A great rangefinder
classic. Found at a camera show for $20. The meter wasn't working.
It had an internal broken connection which I fixed and it works fine
now. A keeper.
^ And, ... ta DAAAAA! Found this morning. A Leica M2 with a clean
50mm f/2 Dual Range Summicron found at a swap meet for a ridiculously
low price. The seller called it a "Likka." It was covered with a thick layer
of dust like it had been sitting in a garage for 20 years. It took an hour or
two to clean up but it looks great now and seems to work fine. Will test
with film. Definitely a keeper.
