a Good Camera Club Mate and Fellow FLICKR member gave me this great lens ! Here is a heavy but SHARP VIVITAR 200mm f3.5 made by KOMINE Initial Tests show it is useable at full aperture and at f4 and f5.6 really sharp ! Vivitar 200mm f3.5 by Peter Elgar, on Flickr here is a Result only stopped down to f4 --- Pentax MZ-5 with Old T-Max 100 by Peter Elgar, on Flickr
use it as a 'Test' Subject for Old Cameras and Old Films - it is on Shenfield Common Pond near Brentwood Town Centre -- now I have told you I expect LOADS of Snappers to turn up bit I am NOT going to tell you FREE PARKING Places Ha Ha
I have to say Pete,you are one lucky man getting all this kit "donated" to you. Is it always via your club? I`ve never been that fortunate,but then I don`t belong to a club. Are you able to use all or any of it?Well I can see from the Pentax photos you posted that this one gets used. All the best and keep shooting.
Mostly through Brentwood & District Photo Club -- gear from members directly : Mamiya C220, Minolta Dynax 500si, Olympus OM -1 , OM 10 , Rolleiflex 3.5 E Planar 1962, Olympus SP 570UZ, from 'Contact ' to Club Secretary ; 'Save From The Dump if you Get Here Quickly Enough' Contax RTS 11 Quartz, Yashica FR-1 + lenses etc etc from Widow of Former Club Member who died in Darkroom 1993 : Olympus OM-2 Spot Program + Flashes etc etc Some More I can't remember - it's WORTH it to be a 'Club ' member !
