Elmar 200 f4 visoflex on Z6

[belgiumreporter]

I've bought this leica visoflex with 200mm elmar f4 set up mainly for display with the leica's on the shelves. Out of curiousity I tried it out on the Z6 to my amazement it gave wonderfull results. The set however, isn't something "elegant' to walk around with, has a rather steampunk vibe to it   . Here's two shots made in a hurry:

The visoflex has the brightest reflex view i have encountered whether through the chmney or through (generously proprely dimensioned) prism.

Also the much maligned short mount lenses (included the simple (=einfache) very long ones) are reasonably good. Not long ago I needed to digitize a slide. To avoid fiddling with my big computer (with all windows traces removed) in order to use its excellent Minolta scanner where the Linux version of its Vuescan program would have to be reinstalled, I rigged up an old Novoflex with a black version 65mm- The result was up to that which my usual apo-ronar setup would have provided (it is away on loan together with the Olympus bellows slide copyer).

In this case either the sites spamfilters or its moderation obviously does not work, the posting above or possibly its instigator ought to be removed in order to keep the sites good signal to noise ratio.

I reported the post above yours, and 3 others by the same poster, but it appears we have no admins able to control this.

[belgiumreporter]

I reported it as well, so by now they should know what is going on. Still a bit sad that the few posts we get are from spammers.

Camera collecting is not what it was - too many dealers wanting high prices for ordinary cameras, and very few of the interesting older cameras around, at least here in New Zealand.

So I noticed when i was visiting both islands and the only thing i saw was a pentax MX, maybe i didn't spend enough time in the "big" cities. Upon arriving i stopped at Singapore for a few days, there where a lot of camera shops but prices were not that intersting unless you really wanted or needed something. The more expensive gear was mostly more worth the money than the common stuff, i mean 170$ for a nikkormat is a bit silly no? on the other hand a canon 7 with the 0.95 dream lens was around 1200$.

Here in the UK old camera prices are approximately double what they were ten years ago.
