Camera Fiend

[deirdre]

Since the conversation came up in a recent post.

Left to right:

1. Nikonos V film underwater camera with 35mm lens. I have slides I've taken with this, but due to technical difficulties, haven't scanned them yet. Update: scanned a few. Here's one


2. Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 lens, dating to around 1970. I have an adapter to use on the GF1, though in theory the flange distance wouldn't prohibit using it on the Leica if I found an adapter. (photo taken with it)


3. Panasonic/Leica 45mm f/2.8 Elmarit for the GF1, works out to 90mm. Macro and portrait lens, one of my favorites. (photo taken with it)


4. Panasonic GF1 with 20mm f/1.7 kit lens. (photo taken with this combo)


5. 135mm Leitz (Leica) Hektor f/4.5 made in 1959. (photo taken with it)


6. 50mm Leitz (Leica) f/2 Summitar lens made in 1951. (photo taken with it)


7. Leica M8 with 28mm Voigtlander f/1.9 Ultron (old model, new one's f/2). (photo taken with this combo)

Keeps me busy. :)

All the Leica/Voigtlander lenses can also be used on the GF1, but they have a different effective focal length due to the smaller sensor on the GF1, so the 50mm becomes 100mm, etc.
