I make things happen. Usually when it is least opportune to do so. And for the least possible benefit.

Bookmarks are existent now. I repost b/c I forget to check Bookmarks.

He/Him, but you could have inferred that from the quality of my interactions.

Bother not with such things!

You need to save up for the good stuff.

Essentially, Yes. The body is just an improvement of the SR-1 Body from 1959. The SR-2 came first, but has slightly different internals from the SR-1, and the SR-1 was basically a cheaper ver. anyway.

Then they killer it in favour of the AWFUL [but sleek] X-Body.

As mentioned previously.... The Best Kodak Camera ever made!

BY THE NAZIS.

FUCK.

At least I bought this unintentionally, ad opposed to cashed up watch perverts.

Well, at least he has good taste in watches. The h/top should be a fastback.

I always think the Hi-Beat is a Hand-Wound King style movement. Ignorance!

I have 4 lovely [cheap] Seikos.

2 Divers [Can't recall Model ATM] and 2 Autos with attractive designs.

I also exclusively use EPSON Projectors.

I am currently in need of accurate Gundam Mobile Suit info, and you appear more than overqualified. I must know, is this lore accurate?

Miranda Sensorex II Slr. Interesting little footnote of history. Should do a full thread on the weirdo.

Amazing camera! Dead on arrival.

It is always fun when a 'restoration' project begins and ends with some WD-40 and poking one piece of the firing mechanism.

..... But why a 53mm lens? The 50s were weird.

What a 'simple lubrication' job turns into after you confuse the machine oil bottle with the loctite......

"As a body language expert, you can clearly see that when I slow the witnesses reaction down and go frame-by-frame, they are clearly lying; as evidenced by the subtle eyelid and lip movements. The deception begins from the very first response"

"Weren't they just giving their name?"

"Clearly a lie"

Yesterday I learned just how sophisticated the Apeture return on a Minolta SRT-101 really is.

.... Its a bit of string on a pully.

.... It's awesome.

You push the Mirror Lockup switch DOWN.

When you think the camera is broken but it's actually just the auto exposure working correctly.

Seriously, I thought the camera was broken, possibly dead; but it was just stopping me from shooting on too high a speed with too little light.

Fair. It isn't always clear if replies are restricted or outright disabled. My bad for missing that.

....

Or maybe it's super clear just not in a portion of the screen I typically look.

.... Doesn't mean replies are completely Enabled either.

For context, if the post vanishes for me or for everyone for some reason.

Arkanoid! As INTENDED.

.... I was going to say Atari 2600 controller, but thats too basic. I'm leaning towards tabletop pinball machine....

Or the much more esoteric Magiclantern Modded Canon EOS series Camera.

The mod adds a bunch of useful features, and Arkanoid! So it's a handheld console!

Packaging is dogshit these days.

This is an extension tube for an Exakta SLR. Prob 1950's or 60's.

Exakta is a German Brand.

The box transmits this info to you.

Accura was a distro imprint of no real import, but they knew branding goddammit!

That font! The colours! THE ALTERNATING FONT COLOURS!
