camera. This was it. The perfect camera. Interchangeable/removable view finder Interchangeable view
screen, two shutter release point, single stroke rapid film advance. Bayonet and screw mount lens STATUS: retired to display case |

included a through the lens light meter.
This made the camera a model GT STATUS: retired to display case |

f2.8 lens My first telephoto lens, Len made by Soligor STATUS: retired to display case |

Hanimex 28mm f2.8 lens Widest lens I had for years.
This one used the screw mount to attach to the body, and the aperture
was of the pre-set type. That is, the
forward pre-set ring is turned to the desired aperture, the larger ring
behind it rotates from wide open for focusing, to the position set by the front
pre-set ring. STATUS: retired to display case |

Miranda VF-1
waist level view finder Had pop up magnifier lens so you could fine focus the
image. Great for shooting over your
head, just turn camera upside down and look into viewfinder. STATUS: retired to display case |
|
|
Miranda VF-3
finder Two modes, as shown in the picture which allow you to see the
full screen, or flip it down and you get a 15x very tight in view of centre
of viewfinder for focusing. As it sits
in the display the eyecup which will also go on back of eyelevel finder is
installed. STATUS: retired to display case |

Tamron Variofocus Close-up
lens This works like any common close up lens, installing where the
filter would go on the front of the lens.
However this on has variable diopter settings. When used with a 50mm lens, and that lens
set at infinity, the distant to subject is adjustable using this device from
1M (40”)down to 0.15 M (6”), and closer if you adjust the focus on the main
lens. STATUS: retired to display case |

Extension tube set Before I got the bellows, I used these extension tubes. The thinnest one received the lens using
either the bayonet or thread. The
other end is treaded into the body.
The rest of the tube are threaded extensions, and used with the first
thin one in combinations to get correct focus distant. STATUS: retired to display case |

Miranda Focalbell These bellows with a standard lens attached backwards on the
front using a special ring that fits the filter threads and then attaches to
the bellows front end, and a Miranda body at rear with critical finder, stick
it on tripod, complete macro system.
Greater than 1:1 depending upon the lens used. Reversing the lens when over 1:1 allowed
for sharper images as generally the filter side of the lens has more distant
to object (in this case the film), and the camera end is usually closer to
the film, but now is closer to the subject.
The tripod mount at the bottom of the rack slides to allow for moving
the whole thing closer or further from the subject. STATUS: retired to display case |

My first flash gun Got an old Dormitzer flash head from
the local camera store, Just the head. It required 500 volts DC. So find a few transistors, a 6 volt battery,
a few rectifiers, some thin plywood to make a box, and there.. My own high powered flash. STATUS: GONE, lost in time |
|
|
Metz 202 This unit was bought new, a real high powered flash and it had
automatic exposure. Later I use it
with medium format cameras for wedding until it was replaced with a more
modern unit STATUS: Sold |
