nice picture. Somehow quote reply doesn't work. I meant the picture posted by User ID.

I have been selling off a number of old lenses, and came across my Mamiya/Sekor 55/1.4. I plan on keeping this one, and it usually goes on my EM-1. I wanted to shoot a pic with it, and decided a shot of my 1959 Exakta VXlla with the Isco was in order.
I acquired this camera in a lot which I purchased mainly for the lenses. The camera turned out to be in near new condition.

Shot at near minimum distance at f11


Nice camera, had a Vx2b until the shutter went bad, too expensive to fix, oh well.

When I was in medical school in the early 1950's, the pathologist used an Exacta VX and I looked forward to the day that I could afford to buy one of my own. I finally did, and I used it for several years while I was in the Navy. The camera was great for precise composition and gorgeous closeups, not so great for tearing film. I replaced it with a Nikon FTN.
