It appears that the interrest in film photography, might just be a hidden sneaky type of regular ol' GAS. I'm only content when new pieces of gear arrive, and once in house - it kind of fades away. But I've desided on the body to use for the next period of time. No surprises - its the Pentax ME.
Is the fact that I've chosen the only system I own, sporting no wide angle lenses, just a coincidence - or in fact a subconcious way of needed to buy more stuff anyway? Looking for a 28mm SMC 2.8...
I've cleaned the 50mm SMC 1.7, and one of my 40mm Hexanons. Easier than feared, but they were quite simple to disassemble. The Contax 137MD has now gotten a new skin. Application could have been better, but it looks nicer now at least.
In the mean time, a Yashica (damn, I forgot the model) mounted with a minty ML 50mm 1.4 has joined the gang, along with a couple of freebie Autoreflex TC's. Nice.
The ML 50mm is damn near perfect - were it not for the stuck apperture blades - DOH! Havent had great luck with dismanteling this... yet.
Might scan some pictures at some point. Might buy a negative scanner. Might sell som stuff. Might develop a healthier relationship to gear.
