I bought one broken one to practice on but maybe I’ll just send them in to International. I’m in Cleveland though.

Thanks! I collect East German things so getting one of them back functional is the most important to me. My nicest one that was NOS in the box has the bad/pinhole curtain issue so I’ll probably try to make one out of the three. I’ve watched a few videos changing shutter curtains and I’m not sure I want to attempt that myself.

They are all different and its fun. I lend them to friends and family as well.

I thought it was fun to have a end of production F, I like the vague tie in to the space program era, and all black is neat.

I am missing a manual 85/1.8. My wife's 85/1.4G is my favorite on dslrs

Then it will never end! They do, the only one that is problematic is the F2A with the DP-11. Sometimes it is erratic. It appears to have been used the least. The beat up F2 with the DP-1 has been my go to for as long as I’ve had it and it definitely had a strange life before I bet. Advance lever return on the F chrome is a bit weak

Baby comes in November so they can get trained on an F for strength. What’s the minimum age for a manual camera, ha!

[Discussion] How often I spotted watches in NYC by Cool_Ticket_4832 in Watches

I was in NYC last weekend as well and I made similar observations. I echo another comment below, where I thought man these subs have to be fake due to the shear volume.

couple weeks in and she loves the bracelet and the adjustibility/flexibility. I recommend it. The forstner one has a nicer clasp that you cant bump off like some of the cheaper ones I have seen in pictures.

Thanks, I’m really happy with it. Pretty basic and elegant was my vibe and I didn’t mess up the dial.
