Re: Old Cameras, Old Lenses, Old Emulsions

[Conrad Samuels]

Well the oldest camera in my possession is a Zeiss-Ikon Contina 35mm folder
with a Novar Anastigmat f3.5 lens in a Prontor shutter.  Although somewhat
worn by now it still works (I used it recently just to check it out).  Like
many cameras of that day the viewfinder is small and the rangefinder even
worse.

The second oldest camera is a Pentacon FM SLR with a 50mm f2.8 CZ Tessar.
It still works but occasionally the shutter makes odd sounds and the winder
goes erratic.  I really must clean and lube it but I hardly ever use it
so???

My Spotmatic SP gets used most of the time,  with my Spotmatic F.  The  S1a
also gets used quite a bit.  I hardly ever use the MX or the Program-A.  In
view of all this,  can anyone imagine modern lenses in my possession?  But
there are a few none for M42 thread though.
