Nikon gang, and second SRT

Some pictures of (not from, that's just silly...) the FM2n with 105mm F2.5 AI,  FE2 with 50mm F1.4 AIS and the Minolta SRT101 with a 50mm F1.7




I have just had a roll thru the FE2, shooting exclusively with the 50 1.4 - stuck at 1.4 mind you. Using a 15 year old film. Never know whats gonna happen.

To clear the boxes, and my mind a bit, I've sold some of the gear. Bye bye to the Petri, the beater TC, Zenith and the AE-1. Some assorted zoom lenses, that I'd never use.

When I stared this journey, I swore that I wouldn't buy any Nikon gear - as this is what I use digitally... well well, that didn't quite last.

A new year - no hope

GAS is still going strong, only limited by physical space - so I'm currently trying to sell some of the stuff.

Right, what has happened since the Pentax Program A. I traded the OM3 - wasn't going to use it, and I'm not that much of a collector anyhow. Got my hands on a Nikon FM2N and FE2. Traded the Zeiss 85 1.4

Bought a Canon AE-1P, for the sake of a FD 85mm 1.8. Sold the lens, not going to use the body. Its nice though, has a really good winding action - and the A series squeak. Bought a K1000 for the sake of a mint Pentax M 50 1.7, and 35 2.8. The 50 on my ME is jamming the aperture ring. K1000 was DOA - threw it in the bin. Bougt a black SRT101 with rokkor 50 1.7 - simply because its gorgeous.

Pictures soon.
