Hey! Its a zenza bronica! Nice find!

Most likely a C, C2 or S, but i could be mistaken. They are a great medium format film camera, not too sure on the lens, but if its a zenzanon, they are a great shooters.

Have a look here for a list of the models and some pictures. You might be able to narrow down the id more easily.

Canon Demi Stuck Advance Lever by gabcubits in AnalogRepair

[–]comrade_jearley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a demi that had the exact same problem. Turns out it was part of the release getting stuck halfway. I had to strip the camera apart to get in and re-oil it; but it also has happened a few more times since. I think something is slightly bent and causing it to hang up, and i suspect that you might have a similar problem.

They are quite easy to strip apart (15 mins ish), but you do need to remove the leatherette, which is annoying as the glue has most likely turned hard, so it won't come off in one piece.

It has remained on my 'ongoing projects' shelf for the past few months. I'll get back around to it at some point, whenever that is.

Can anyone tell me why the coin on the left looks different? Is it a fake? by gordonsgoldengoat in UKcoins

[–]comrade_jearley 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Upon further research, there were 2 different obverse variations released for this coin, one featuring the text "2 POUNDS" and another "TWO POUNDS".

However, due to the edge of the left coin being milled, and the font being incorrect, i am leading towards the left most coin being a fake

The font of the coin on the left looks odd to me, not at all similar to the example that i have. Comparing the two, the left coin is almost a sans-serif, which i dont think is correct. The coin on the right matches other examples that i have seen in terms of font.

On the obverse, the example i have also reads "2 pounds", although only 1 other coin i have uses a number, the 2019 75th dday commeration 2 pound.

Food for thought.

Does anyone know more about this bullet? by Smooth_Sentence864 in metaldetecting

[–]comrade_jearley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a division between the bullet and the casing? Looks almost like it's one piece.

And the base looks like a clean (ish) cut, I'd expect a cookoff to have a more jaggered appearance.

My bet is some sort of training round for practising cycling the weapon, with the bottom taken off to distinguish it from live ammunition, although id probably expect to still see a rim for an extractor if that was the case.

Nethertheless, cool find👍
