Your most recent RF purchase

[Terry Christian]

I just bought a FED-2b (type 2), with two lenses (Industar 63M, Jupiter-8), from a seller here. I put a test roll though it yesterday and am loving it. When I got it in the mail, I thought the viewfinder window was horrendously blurry and tried to clean it, only to be disappointed. THEN I realized I hadn't adjusted the diopter. Wow! I can see!

A Petri 7s that needs a little cleaning but looks technically ok. Got it on fleabay for £15

There's not enough pictures of all the beauties in this thread. With a digital camera in every phone nowadays there's no excuse you lazy bastards.. hehe

Terry, how did you adjust the diopter? I have the same camera (i believe - it's a Fed 2 but not sure if it's 2b, c, d, etc.) ... but my impression of the viewfinder is the same as your initial impression.

I kept moving the dioptre adjustment of a Zorki without realising it, although I did wonder what that lever was. I thought there was something wrong with it (or my eyes) until I worked it out.

Fair enough, here's the new to me Nikonos-V with a 28mm and 35mm lens:

I love the Nikonos series, are you planning on diving with it?

A Voigtlander Vitomatic II. I might even like it more than my Vito B!

I hope to go diving with it soon. I may be diving in Thailand when I go there in a few months. And if work sends me to Africa again I will go diving there for sure. Otherwise it's my foul Weather camera.
