Camera Porn Thread

[Official_Recap]

So. Smooth.

this too

 

[bo0b]

Operating that looks like patting your head and rubbing your stomach

 

[Tikayt]

I have a few to share.

I guess that is also camera porn ?

 

[Official_Recap]

While we're here..

 

[Laurent.]

The rare moment your lens is worth 7 times as much as your 10K camera.

It's the sublime Angenieux 24-290 f2.8.

 

[CliffyByro]

i came

 

[Laurent.]

I just don't know what it is about these Angenieux lenses.

This is a 28-340 f2.8

 

[Tikayt]

CRAZY lens... Today I shot with the Fujinon 18-85mm T2.0 I was quite impressed but a 28-340 f2.8 ?!?!

 

[Tanner-D]

Oh my. I wish mine was black.

 

[Laurent.]

You can do the longest and smoothest zoom actions with them as well:

That poor dog

 

[Laurent.]

Can my Konica go here?

 

[Balto]

mamiya 7 II purchase happening today...

 

[Laurent.]

It's such an ugly thing, the opposite of it's ability really.

 

[Balto]

how can you say that is ugly, look at it in the hand

SEX

 

[TijmenDal]

I agree with Laurens. Despite it being a beautiful camera, it's ugly as shit.

Btw, you working full time Thomas? Because you've been acquiring a ton of expensive camera's lately.

 

[CliffyByro]

i want one of them sooooooooo fucking badly

 

[Balto]

I work private sales of high end ($5k+) road bikes, so I clear a decent amount of commission, which goes to drugs and cameras lol

 

[Laurent.]

I'm applauding your priorities.

 

[TijmenDal]

Gotta love both, 'eh?

 

[Balto]

I like combining the 2

But I'm also probably going to sell my rz if I end up liking the 7 and will then use that money for the 43mm

 

[Laurent.]

Just get all the lenses, including the 210 which can't even be coupled to the rangefinder.

 

[Balto]

 

[Laurent.]

Leica MP with the cleanest Summarex 85mm ever?

 

[Balto]

Yep, makes me all hot and flustered

 

[Laurent.]

I really need to stop spending money and just save up for that Leica.

 

[Balto]

ha I see you are an L user guy as well. I would love a chrome (or bp) mp, maybe that will be the next purchase (;

 

[Laurent.]

I just lurk there for the porn.I'm thinking M8, it has it's faults but film prices and developing are killing me right now apart from HEMA film.

 

[PacificRimJob]

The 210 is quite possibly the most useless lens ever haha. Can't couple to the rangefinder, slow as the internet was when it was introduced, minimum focus distance is like 25 feet or something stupid - so you can't even use it for headshots, and it costs as much as a Leica body.

Really, if I had that camera, I'd just about only use the 43mm, because that's what that camera is for - Best portability:Image Quality Landscape camera you're going to find, and has perfect glass.

Also, the panoramic adapter is fucking SOLID.

 

[Balto]

ya im stoked to get the 135 pano adapter, can actually use my t65 and make it worth while!

 

[Laurent.]

Back to porn:

 

[Balto]

my babies

Mamiya: Hodor, hodor.

; )

 

[TijmenDal]

Some Olympus porn. Such a beautiful camera. I've got three copies now.

 

[jeremy.g]

I was planning on getting a 7 but found this in really good condition for a price i couldnt pass up. picked it up this morning and have already done three rolls. such a perfect camera.

 

[TijmenDal]

Picked it up in the Bozone?

 

[jeremy.g]

a little camera store called the darkroom in Missoula actually.

 

[PacificRimJob]

portable Large Format.

 

[Tanner-D]

My buddy just picked up one of these at a thrift store in nearly perfect condition

The "cold shower" to this thread, as it were.... at around 6:40:

 

[Tikayt]

 

[PacificRimJob]

Time for some Contax love.

 

[Laurent.]

^ All those bog standard straps....

 

[PacificRimJob]

I'm so tired of Leicas...

 

[Balto]

I have one of the argus', looks dope with the wood grain on that one

 

[PacificRimJob]

They look cool, but every one I've picked up feels pretty tough to use.. which is why I have declined to purchase one.

 

[Balto]

ya the shutter in mine doesnt work so it sits on a shelf, got it from my grandpa with my rollei a few years back

 

[PacificRimJob]

Every one Ive picked up is extremely rough to focus... like, tear your damn skin off just to turn the focus gear, deal, kinda rough...

Interesting thing is that the C3 was used in Harry Potter (why they used an American Camera in a film where they tried to be exquisitely british is beyond me. They could have used a Leica iii and it would have been more british than the Argus - at least the british rebranded and built those)
