leather everready case. The strap on the everready case is not even cracked at the attachment points! I think this is about a 1958 C-3.
 
Most recently had out the Canon AL with the taped up battery door. Which is why I haven't used it much (or taken a picture of it!).
 
I'll post photos when I get home - both working and not working.
 
Quick & dirty.

Brownie Hawkeye, Nikkormat FT3, Agfa Optima Compur. The N90s replaced the F90 I loaned to, then gave to Lazy Lobster when he graduated from high school.

You all have freaking cool cameras. I've got two Rebel G's. I paid less than $20 each on the eBay. I got them because I was using a Pentax ME Super but I only had a boring 50mm F2 for the thing and I wanted to utilize my fun lenses. My next purchase will be an EOS 1N, just waiting for the right deal.

My most recerntly-purchased camera...a 1938 vintage Baby Speed Graphic, the model that shoots two-and-a quarter by three-and-a-quarter inch sheet film. I also have a vintage 6x6 cm rollfilm back for this camera. it has a well-tuned Kalart rangefinder fitted to it.

Determining the speed of the in-body focal plane shutter is done by cross-referencing the Tension Number with the width of the focal plane shutter's moving aperture, or slit. As you can see, there are 24 possible focal plane shutter speeds, ranging from 1/10 second to 1/1000 second. The leaf style shutter that's mounted with the lens offers the "old speeds" of Bulb,Time, and from 1 second to 1/400 second, using the common pre-WW II speeds of 1 second, and fractional speeds of 1/2,1/5,1/10,1/25,1/50,1/100,1/200,and 1/400 second.

A close-up detail of the lens and shutter mechanism. Blazing lens speed! An f/4.5 maximum aperture! Here the shutter has been set to T, or Time. One press of the release opens the shutter, and keeps it locked open until the shutter release is pressed a second time; this speed is super-useful for groundglass set-up and focusing, as well as for long, timed exposures made without a locking cable release.
