I will find it and post it later. I took Kodak Brownie photos here in 1953. We came upon a Cessna that had crashed trying to clear the summit tundra. We found the pilot's eyeglasses and took them to the police in Red Lodge. He was recovering. Then on the way down, Dad ran off the road and bent the rear wheel well on our 1950 Mercury. Lucky it was the "good" side of the highway.

You can see our Mercury in the background. Three years later, I had my own darkroom.

My Dad worked in the Park during the Depression, and his sister was a cook for workers at North Gate-Gardiner.

I am a film guy. I have collected three old Exakta cameras and I can't seem to find one with a good shutter. So I have nice clear Biotar lens.

Its outside metal has a bit of scuffing but no serious scratches. The filter screw area has a minor dent, but I think a proper filter would still attach.
The good news is that the lens functions correct and smooth. The glass is quite clear...no fungus or haze. There is one tiny speck size scratch on the rear lens.

So I think this would work pretty well with an adapter to a digital camera.

You can look for the one you need, but a quick search shows these: " Adapters for EXA Exakta mount lenses exist for Canon EOS, Nikon F, Sony NEX, micro 4/3 (MFT), Sony Alpha and Pentax-K "

My price $95 plus Priority Mail cost. I will accept returns.

Consider that Homeland Security is likely to force it into checked baggage. If that is the case, weight is now more important to keep your checked bag under the weight limit.

Hmmm.

We never use a $$$ public charger on our 16 Volt because gas is cheaper. But at home it is $1.30 for 53 miles.

How about this? Fill May 28. Refill July 6. 1349 miles. 6.2 gallons.

We are on a month plus trip to Europe.
I have 4 cameras to play with: Retina IIa, Canon Rebel T2, Nikon 1, and the Lumix.

I turned on the Lumix for the first time atop the Shutzen tower near Baden, Austria.
This camera does not have a GPS. I have the Panasonic app on my Android but haven't used it either.

The camera splash screen said " 15th day of Europe trip"

Oops... I see my own answer. I created a save folder called Europe Trip. It counted days since creation.

I was almost expecting the 1958 Retina to remind me to pick up some good Austrian red wine and try to go see the old Voigtlander plant.

I searched and find that this is a common problem with the NEX 3 and 5.

It can be removed and replaced with a glass cellphone type protector.

Someone sold me a NEX3 yesterday. It seems like a quality camera, especially for $50.

But the view screen has a mottled look...almost as if the plastic protector was never removed.
But if so I am not able to peel it off. ( Looking direrctly at the lighted screen it doesn't look this bad. )

Any ideas?

Hmmm?

Looks like Marcelina Mountain and Kebler Pass. I see the mountain from our yard.

Hello all,

I am in my mid-70's and have always been some sort of collector. I have been retired for 28 years from my software company doing analytics for Wall Street traders.

My start in photography was with a Minolta rangefinder in about 1955, but I had been doing newspaper 4x5, high school 2 1/4 x 3 1/4, astronomy from my homebuilt 6 inch, and a B&W darkroom. In '60 I got a Honeywell Pentax. My most important photo was a Milwaukee airport stop by candidate R.M. Nixon along with his G-Men. I will post it some day.

I am grateful to Ted Pappas, the owner of Marshall Camera in South Milwaukee. He mentored me even though I was 14 with no money. I did finally buy the camera he showed to me: A Voigtlander Vitessa.

This year I began to acquire and use, but sometimes re-sell cameras I would have liked to own 59 years ago. And I bought a DMC-ZS50 plus a Nikon 1 to have some digital experience.

One of my acquisitions was quite interesting: A local resale shop was on the lookout for me. A lady had consigned a Leica IIIb from 1938. I looked it over and consulted with Key Camera in Longmont, then bought it for $150. ( It did need CLA work ). But upon researching the lens I was astounded. It had a clear Leitz Taylor-Hobson f 1.5. Well those go for quite a penny!

Meanwhile I have acquired several Retina's, a Rollei SE, an AE1-Program and an OM-2, plus an Electro-35. Most have been tested. I have had bad luck with 2 Exakta "beasts" with bad shutters.
There are several oddball 35mms, a set of 4 old long Canon lenses 400-600-800mm to discuss, and a Linhoff I am consigning.
