Nikon F2A Photomic Camera Set

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

My Nikon F2A set.

I’m moving on from it. Enjoyed every minute of using and collecting all of the bits that make it special.

Everything works. Excellent condition.
My set includes the super-sharp Nikkor 50mm f/2 Ai lens with hood, cap, and filter.
With Nikon MD-2 motor drive.
A joy to use.

It’s available in my camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com

Thanks for stopping by, Chris

Yashica brochures in my camera shop. Let’s make a movie!

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

I’ve just added some hard-to-find Yashica sales brochures and instruction booklets in my camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com.

Probably one of the most popular Yashica cameras ever made.
Yashica movie camera brochures are often difficult to find.
This was a very sophisticated Super 8 camera, as good as any made during that period.
A popular movie camera of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

A special place for Canons, www.ccstudio2380.com

My well-used but super-clean Canon New F-1 (F-1N) limited-edition Los Angeles 1984 camera set.

The LA Olympics F-1 is a favorite with collectors. Most ended up either being gently used or put on display. Fewer than 9,500 were made. My F-1 was obviously a busy camera throughout its life. It was assembled in November 1983, and the lens in October. Most of these were made with the AE finder, which makes mine a bit more unusual because it has an eye-level finder. Everything works as designed.

Canon New FD 135mm f3.5 short telephoto lens set. The 135 is a popular lens for portraits, sporting events, and wildlife photography.
It’s no secret that I love super-wide-angle lenses, the wider the better. I’ve used the 17mm and the 24mm; the 20mm is a nice compromise between those two.
Who doesn’t love a still-mint-condition instruction booklet?
My last unused Canon 50mm.
Pristine.
Remembering a sharp camera from the late 1970s. My last cine camera before I got my first video camera.

As I continue to downsize my collection, these special Canons are now available in my Etsy camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com.

My set will include everything pictured (minus the display stand).
This is the last AE-1 in my extensive Canon camera collection.

This beautiful set is now available in my Etsy camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com. It’s been professionally serviced and returned to factory specifications, including a new battery. Just add the film!

The Asahi Pentax SL – a gem from the late 1960s

Chris and Carol 2 Comments
The instruction book is hard to find, but I was lucky to find one from a collector in Canada. This one was published in September 1969.
My gorgeous Asahi Pentax SL in the piano-black finish. Shown here with its Super-Takumar f/1.8 55mm lens.
1960s low tech at its finest.
All the bits.
