jaques Posted November 25, 2015 Share #2584 Posted November 25, 2015 What a beauty Jaques - is it functional? What vintage is it? I am not totally sure of the exact vintage- I guess early 1950's though the style of the Exakta cameras is distinctly Art Deco- and harks back to the 1930's. here is an image of the Exakta VX1000 camera with stereo viewfinder attachment and beam splitter. The camera is fully functional- and the stereo viewfinder attachment is really amazing. When you look through you see a single 3 dimensional image. (shot taken noctilux+oufro). The beam splitter is designed for 50mm lenses- but I cannot mount my Exakta 50mm lens on the M240 as it has a protrusion on the flange. I just found this 58mm Exa Biotar lens that doesn't have the protrusion so could finally mount the beam splitter to my camera. Welcome, dear visitor!

jaques Posted November 25, 2015 Share #2586 Posted November 25, 2015 What a beauty Jaques - is it functional? What vintage is it? ah- the atomic- it dates to the 1950's. British made 'Sassoon' version of the Italian design. And yes she is fully functional. I have a few of them: Welcome, dear visitor!

menos I M6 Posted November 26, 2015 Share #2587 Posted November 26, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Jaques, picture me looking at the photograph with eyes popping out! What a collection! I hold it with coffee makers the exact opposite way as with cameras and lenses - I am a reasonable and practical guy about coffee and just keep using my old La Pavoni or brew with cooking water over a German filter. I am still searching for a beautiful grinder though - a one one falls in love with as for it's design and mechanical beauty, but which also works and keeps working. This I have found is a more difficult task than finding a favorite 50mm lens ;-) I have more 50mm than I can actually remember (I have these moments now when going through the storage that I actually find lenses I forgot I had). One reason for this funky situation is that each and every one of them has a special trait I love so much as not to be able to sell them (only very, very few lenses over time I actually sold as they didn't have much character to me). Here is why I keep a black paint sample of the Voigtländer Color Skopar 50/2.5 LTM around: It is not the fastest lens around. It is not the smallest or lightest lens around. It is not a lens that has some outstanding strange character why one would want to have it. It is one of those lenses that is just build like a tank - only very few lenses are build like this one - massive, heavy brass with thick, heavy black paint. It is one of those lenses that just draws so very beautifully - wide open or stopped down. I find it fits perfectly to a M9 sensor and produces wonderful detail and color. It is one of those lenses I am also happy to put on a M9, throw it into a backpack and go ride the bike without a second thought of it getting damaged. It's a lens I couldn't sell (and for a reason this one has a bit of a cult following among the people in the know). They don't make them any more - the ones you can find second hand are the only ones still around. They are still very affordable now, it is not going to stay that way.

jaques Posted November 27, 2015 Share #2588 Posted November 27, 2015 well- you can say the same about your old La Pavoni! It is built like a tank and they don't make them like that anymore. Yes they still make them- but not like that! What vintage is yours- the best built ones date to the 1960's. Also it makes a fantastic coffee! Last year I used one of mine (1960's vintage Europiccola) everyday twice at least. 50 years old and works like a charm. Now this year I have the rolls-royce of home levers on my bench: The Olympia Cremina. Today my espresso is thick and multi-layered... with a velvety texture and hints of cacao. Anyhow- picture me now today as I sip espresso- on ebay - looking for that Color Skopar I really don't need... or do I? My bet: by next week there will be at least a %12 increase in global value of Color Skopar 50/2.5 ltm- all down to your post. next vintage coffee machine slated to go on my bench is the rare Olympia Club spring lever machine- pictured here via the vintage DuoTamron 135mm on the M240: Welcome, dear visitor!

Exodies Posted November 27, 2015 Share #2589 Posted November 27, 2015 Thank you, Jaques, for this introduction to your coffee maker madness. It is splendid. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
menos I M6 Posted November 27, 2015 Share #2590 Posted November 27, 2015 Jaques, I didn't know you were so much into coffee - now that is some serious addiction you have there ;-) When I referred to my "old" La Pavoni, it was meant more like a 35/2 pre ASPH v4, rather than an 8 element v1 ;-) I have an Europiccola, marketed already by Saeco - I bought it about 10 or 12 years ago when a local dealer left the coffee maker sales and sold off the entire stock. I just gave it a fresh set of seals and a little overhaul. It's a great little machine for espresso for one or two but I can fully understand that just one small machine isn't enough the same as one single 50mm simply cannot be enough ;-) The 50/2.5 Color Skopar LTM isn't much of a secret tip actually - it seems it is widely regarded as the wonderful little jewel it is (it closely resembles a v1 35/2 Summicron in size and barrel design but it is built even heavier and more massively - a real little surprise lens. There are so many of these made, I doubt prices will change anytime soon, but it definitely is one of the lenses everyone must have! Here is another 50mm - the one I actually hunted the longest time from all the lenses until I finally, finally found one. This is one of the few I'll take with me on the other side: L1002204-Leica S2--for_flickr by teknopunk.com, on Flickr And a better view of the lens with it's designated vintage Walz lens hood (a tip for everyone who is looking for a vintage hood for these: mine is engraved "Walz for Sonnar" but these are also available in other threads "for Nikkor" and "for Canon" as I have seen for the rare Nikkor 43mm and strange Canon 5cm f1.5 filter thread): my favorite focal length pair by teknopunk.com, on Flickr 5cm f1.5 Carl Zeiss Jena LTM wartime lens on MM: Untitled by teknopunk.com, on Flickr 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
menos I M6 Posted November 28, 2015 Share #2591 Posted November 28, 2015 Here is a 5cm f1.4 Nikkor S-C Sonnar LTM seen through a 5cm f1.4 Nikkor S-C Sonnar LTM. One is the earlier Nippon Kogaku Tokyo version, manufactured during the American occupation and the one taking the photo is a slightly later Nippon Kogaku Japan version. Both are 43mm filter size versions, likely with same optical formula, completely different coatings though. Now I still have to find a nice 5cm f1.5 and of course a Millennium to round off the Nikkor addiction … and a Micro Nikkor LTM and a f2 collapsible and a … ahhhhh … it never stops ;-) L1055684-M9 Digital Camera--for_flickr by teknopunk.com, on Flickr 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
