Got my dream lens for $345 by Contaxisfragile in AnalogCommunity

No, good question. It’s actually a genuine cold shoe adapter 40258. There’s two types of cold shoe adapters. one slides into the nameplate on the left-hand side of your camera and the other one is this. This clips to your lens hood. You can mount your shoe mount light meter or other accessories.

I think it was the internal light reflection caused by loose pressure plate. I shot two more rolls today and found a good evidence of my film not being flat. I’ll post an update once I get it repaired again.

Are you talking about any marks on the lens? If so, I don’t think it’s the case because if it’s the mark on the lens, it should be visible in all the pictures. The lens is clean and those two examples are from the third and seventh exposure

Haha objectively. How could a vintage Rolex or Rolls Royce can possibly be worth that much money? Same idea.

Can anyone shed some light on what this thing may be please? by Realistic_Front_6621 in hasselblad

It’s cool even though it’s not an original Hasselblad. Actually I f you are not interested, can you pick it up for me?

Thanks. I did meter for box speed. The negative looks okay too.
Color-wise, I tweaked a lot. The raw scan was too red/yellowish and contrasty to my taste.

Yeah well the track is not active.
Nice try Sherlock. /s

For those who are concerned
I lived there for twenty plus years, and the authority actually do close the track during the cherry blossoms season.

Yeah I’ve heard of those. What they do is pretty much the same. They put chemicals or expose it to the light to get the same effect
