  1. Goodnight nurse, that is sooooo dreamy Rog.
  2. Total size of the post I believe Preben.
  3. Love this.
  4. Makes me want to find the 35/1.4 pre-asph as well. I do like my current ash version, but this thread is definitely dangerous.
  5. Rollei T and Velvia
  6. And for something completely mundane. Fujichrome.
  7. Sounds like an excellent winter project Preben. With respect to your question: " Using one roll of film through each camera, would that be good enough to determine if it works OK? Or what do you suggest? " My suggestion is to carefully visually inspect them, one by one, each body, as well as each lens. With a lens it is usually fungus or mould that is an issue. Also the aperture movements can be hindered by oil or general gunk, but not all that often. With the camera bodies, I look for the shutter action, does it work, and if so, does it "sound right" especially at the lower speeds. Given the picture, all will need a battery of some description for the shutter to operate (fully, some run a manual speed I think, but only a limited speed). Also, does the meter operate, and does the reading "appear correct", compared to your "Sunny-16" guess, or another meter. Then try a roll of film through each, and enjoy them for the fine instruments they are. You have a nice selection (in that photo).
  8. From a few years back, Fujichrome. Likely my M3 and 90mm on bellows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wētā
  9. I'm old, and a bit of a luddite when it comes to techie things, but your question had me intrigued. I don't own the M11D, I have the M11-P, but looked, and looked, and looked. Eventually I tried the manual, and it seems it accessible, but I haven't tried it. Have to admit, it's not easy.
