Well, actually this one was a little off-the-cuff surprise from my hubby. :heart: So no one to blame at TPF.
Here's the new baby:
A Zeiss-Ikon Contaflex BC. In excellent working condition AND he snagged an extra lens for me, too! I think there are four (?) total interchangable lenses that came with this model and of course I plan on snagging them all. I know I want the wide angle.
It's a shutter-priority camera, different than anything else I own. My main nitpick is that once switching to manual mode, the f-stop numbers are completely worn off, so I am going by click-feel and having to count down. But everything works perfectly, and he's clean as a whistle.
This camera is built like a brick!! Has impressive bit of heft and great solid feel to it. I am so smitten I can hardly put it down. Film's not out yet - it's been raining. But I'll post when I do (more pictures of Terri's house -woo hoo!).
