What, you have a Duex, or the Medalist prototype.  (I hear it's actually out there, somewhere.)
Oh, wait.. Leica guy.  You have an original LEItz CAmera  fixed lens model A?

Here are some funky things I do with the Leica...

Leica/Focalslide mounted on a 2500mm Catadioptric


and who needs digital when your antique outdated film camera can produce images like this.

D76 Moon

Leica IIIA 2500MM catadioptric. Eastman Double-X at ISO 400.Process D 76@9 minutes.

A Zorki?  Well, the Skopar is nice!  Next you'll be showing us a Fed with an Elmar?  
Nice old F2, Gary.  I used one for years disguised as an F2AS.  It felt nice and light after toting around the Rolleiflex,
but nowadays I need something lighter or my back gives me heck.
Thanks for the pics!

I put my previous reply up before I saw the moon shot.  That is some nice!  Was this long ago, or do you have
the XX in the freezer from way back, or is it motion picture stock?

Thanks Dean, I took that moon shot last year. This is motion picture film. I order it in 400ft lengths directly from Kodak. They ship it right from the Hollywood studios. Can you believe I order it and DHL is at my door 10 hours later.    I have a couple cans in the freezer. Good stuff!!!

A Kodak Jiffy V.P. (vest pocket).  This is a truly small roll film camera that really will fit in a shirt pocket.  Takes 127 film.


The Kodak Jiffy again, this time next to my check book.  See?  Very small!  Push a small  button on the body
and the front part with the lens pops out instantly.  It's cool.


The Jiffy looks similar to the Bullet. I found this about 30 years ago in a junk shop. I thought it was interesting at the time. Note the back is the same moulding as the Jiffy. I did not expect to see this in a steam forum.

I have had this developers tank for about 30 years too. I bought it at a flea market. I believe it was used to un roll the film onto a roll with a spacer in the dark of the box. The black plastic has dimples and acts as a spacer for the film to allow developing fluid to flow around the film without making it stick. the guy who sold this to me also had the cans used to take the rolls and the developer. I did not have enough money to buy the cans.   It looks like it was never used. The wood work alone is superb with fine dovetail joints. They sure dont make stuff like this any more.
