Other Cameras

Konica C35 - with its automated shutter, 38mm Hexanon lens, and rangefinder focusing, I call this my perfect grab-shot camera. It fits easily into a jacket pocket and I did often carry it with me. In late 2002, I gave this camera to a friend that went to Uzbekistan to do Peace Corps work. I hope she's taking lots of photos with it.

Olympus Pen -D. This very loveable half-frame camera has outstanding optics. All-metal, built like a tank, and yet very pocketable. Best of all, you can get 72 exposures out of a 36 exposure roll of film. I have only shot b&w in mine, because I can process it myself. I paid $50 for it at a camera swap, and it's been worth every penny.

Konica Auto S2. An excellent camera of its genre, with a quality f1.8 45mm Hexanon lens. Shutter priority and manual (non-metered) exposure. Also featured is a built-in lens hood. Bigger than the cameras above, it is still a great street camera and has a bright viewfinder. The fast lens and shutter speeds of B to 1/500 should be advantageous to street shooting and photojournalism-type photography.

Detrola Model H - This is a 127 format camera, made in Detroit, MI. Actually similar to an Argus A, but not as well-made. The case is bakelite with some sort of pot metal for the front and back. It did have an extinction meter which is now missing. Once I finally finish up the roll of Efke film in it, I will post some photos here.
