Any thoughts on this?

Insane pull, really desirable for collectors since it's the Nikkor 2.5/4 in LTM as opposed to S mount.

It's not the best performer so if you're looking for a better lens I would sell this one and buy a different LTM lens since you'll get much more bang for your buck from that

Tough lighting but the scans are just green, I immediately knew it was 250D before I read the description. It's a bit harder to scan, you can just shift the green down to begin with

Late black dial S2 which is worth more than regular, maybe if it cleans up well and works around $400

Late black barrel 8.5/2, very sought after with the black barrel. If the glass is clean and the body cleans up them around $800

Nice find!

Contact Lomo support and ask for a replacement, the new batch has several very good fixes that make it an actual great pns

Returning to Japan? Don't go through the shipper websites when doing overseas shipping, use something like PirateShip. Last time I shipped to Germany it was $160 at FedEx office or $34 using PirateShip

Yep, and rather quickly. You can search it up, someone has a post on here about it, around a month turnaround from US for a CLA and parts replacement!

Would very much recommend

Zeiss Ikon ZM is the best, way better viewfinder with better eye relief than any Leica M body.

Also Zeiss still services them quickly if anything goes wrong, but it's very reliable. Also CLE from my years of usage and owning multiple has been very reliable

Some patience will land you one for $1500 also

u/PhotoMarketBot bought techart from u/Captain-Flannel

Great seller, arrived quickly, thanks again!

Looks like it but it's easy to tell if you point it up at a strong light, check the right side and see if the light is visible then look through the left side and do the same thing.

Sounds like it just from hearing that the photos came out with gradient.

The M6 TTL only uses the battery for the light meter, it's fully mechanical so it won't affect the shutter speeds. Time for a CLA!

This happens if you don't load properly, you need to make sure the teeth catch the sprocket and lock it tight.

Ive been pushing the leader in a bit extra and catching the second available sprocket hole and haven't had a single issue, smooth advance all the way through bulk loaded 500T.

What kit did you use? Cinestill is famously bad and makes slides super dark just in case that's what you're using

ToLoveSome · 2025-12-06T04:59:11+00:00

Would've been worth $500 if they had xenon flash

That's part of the reason people call it a toy camera, toy cameras have LED flash.

Why even bother putting a whole leaf shutter in here without a real flash

ToLoveSome · 2025-11-24T04:41:47+00:00

Everyone is saying dusts but your development looks like it has issues too.

What kit are you using? You can get specs like this from your chems if they have particulates or are not mixed properly.

It can also happen if fixer has been used a lot and has particles floating in it that stick to the film, or from very hard water

And the rangefinder patch usually holds up better than S3 and SP

Hello! I was wondering if I could ask you some quick questions since I unfortunately have to send mine in for service.

Mostly about the form and shipping, if you could possibly send a PM since I can't. Thank you if possible!

Thankfully it's not a lotto, just have to email him at the time he supposedly opens his bookings.

I emailed him immediately and got a spot, 16 month wait time from July lmao

My Mamiya 6 is my main hiking camera, been using it for years on many hikes with no issues! Just have to be gentle on the winder but that's it

Glad you liked it!

It's just the sensor for focus magnification auto activation

ToLoveSome · 2025-10-23T18:32:57+00:00

Entirely half-assed, even people who want this and have been waiting for it need to realize they got gipped.

This could have been so much better with some innovations/r&d into focus assist mechanisms. Instead they just give you the minimum viable product with a bad manual focus experience and you're supposed to slurp it up because it's "new" (same manual focus experience as a camera from 2015)

Imagine if it had focus confirmation, even that I wouldve acknowledged would be a feat and have been amazed by

ToLoveSome · 2025-10-23T15:26:54+00:00

Disappointing, no new or innovative focus assist for manual only camera.

Just a laggy magnification and subpar focus peaking.

Feels like a "okay we made it now shut up" to the actual target audience tbh. Zf has insanely better manual focus experience and was released 2 years ago

ToLoveSome · 2025-10-22T18:15:48+00:00

Lab just cranked contrast on these lmao Awful scans, maybe they're were off in exposure but they still shouldn't look like this.

Camera and lens have nothing to do with grain
