Oldie But Goodie

Image was taken with a Fujifilm X-E5 and XF 50mm f/2.0 R WR lens. Exposure was 1/90 th of a second at f/2.8.

What’s not to love ? A small pocketable rangefinder camera with a fast, sharp 40mm f/1.7 Canon lens. This is a recent acquisition and I have been working on for a while. Like most totally mechanical vintage cameras equipped with leaf shutters the lubricant dries up and becomes a sticky mess preventing the shutter blades from firing at the correct speeds, or even firing at all. I have already removed the front lens group and thoroughly cleaned the shutter and aperture blades, re-assembled and re-lubricated all the parts and everything is now working as it should. Unfortunately the internal light meter does not work which is fairly common on these cameras. Now I am waiting for the new light seal kit I ordered to be delivered so I can finish up with this camera.

My husband and I had a home on Tilghman Island on the Chesapeake Bay. This was the view from our back porch. It was such a wonderful, peaceful place.

GAS

Black And White Photography, David, Photography

I’m not talking about the price of petrol or diesel. I got a bad GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) attack the other day and couldn’t resist the call of this little, but heavy beauty. The WAF was low but I could work with it. Yes it’s another film camera kind of out of date like me. However I have so much film to use up I think this will help a little with that. What’s the WAF I hear you ask… Wife acceptance factor. See you next week when the bruises have gone.
