Camera Porn Friday

I borrowed a Contax IIIa (Stuttgart) a few weeks back, to test
It seemed in very good shape, shutter was snappy and within tolerance, RF patch was bright, but the focusing wheel was stiff and the lens was unfortunately full of mold

That SuperRicohflex is a highly under-valuated camera
I bought one years ago as well, and it is a very good TLR
You have the 35mm counter, and with an adapter you could shoot 35mm.
I made an adapter for 3D printing which works fine

I would need the spools as well. I'll stick to setting up for 120, thanks all the same.

Yeah the spools and the "extensions" for the 35mm cassette are in the 3D model, it takes between 45min to 1:20 depending on the printer

Recently I started C-41 home development and finally I got CS-41 with simplifies all the temp thing.
My only concern is I don’t shoot as much color as I should to use the chems to the maximum and I always end up throwing away developer.

Yeah, same here...

It should be possible to remove the front and rear elements of the lens to see if the fungus has etched the lens surface. If it has not, fungus can be cleaned off.
