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 !

Love that photo. I presume from the shape of the house that there are windows under there somewhere!

 

saves buying curtains or blinds

 

Keeps the rain off the walls which sometimes is importan

 

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 !

 

A cracking photo and lens, as well, Pete and, obviously, Dave has to join a camera club

Cheers,

Jack
