I guess my Nikon F and Tony's Leica are just so much chopped liver, then.

It's VERY nice, but I prefer my Canon 7, with the 50mm f0.95 lens!
(which will probably end up on my Sony Nex, unless I can find a Nikkor
105)
BUT, ANY preference of one brand over another turns into a religious
flamewar. (little known corollary of Godwin's law)

Apple V TRS80

Dell V HPaq
eMachine V Packard Bell

New subject: Recovery of stolen cameras? (was Re: film cameras was Re: Blue screen ...)
Has anyone here ever managed to recover or heard of someone recovering one
of their cameras after it had been stolen? I have a short list of stuff
that was stolen better than 10-15 years ago along with the serial numbers
(for the stuff that had one). I used to keep watch on eBay and such but I
eventually gave up. I suspect this stuff is probably in a landfill by now,
but who knows?
Here is the list of stuff that went missing:
Nikon FT2 S/N 5351198
Nikon Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 lens S/N 914472
Vivitar automatic fixed mount 200mm f3.5 telephoto lens
Nikon Nikkormat hard case CH-6
Nikon EM S/N 6293371
Nikon 50mm f/1.8 Series-E lens S/N 1353477
Nikon motor drive MD-E S/N 2009083
Nikon SB-E speedlight flash S/N 605396
Coastar 52mm 1A light pink optical filter
I've also posted this list at:

It is a long time ago, but there are stories of things being recovered
after longer periods ... were they reported to the police at the time?
There are various websites that you can register stolen items on - our
local police force recommend (and therefore presumably check against)
http://www.immobilise.com/ - find as many such as you can and log the
numbers - it's certainly worth a shot.

Strting holy wars is rarely a good idea...
Firstly, not all 35m mcameras are SLRs There are plenty of
separate-viewfidner models, with or without coupled rangefidners. There
have even been TLRs Since differnet types of cameras have particualr
advantages in certain applicatiosn, it is silly to sugest athat an SLR --
any SLR -- must be the best camera for all situations.
Seondly, the Coanon F1 is a a good camera, sure. But not everybody
prefers it ot all otehr mopdels. I personally prefer Nikon SLRs. It's a
personal thing. I can't justify it really.
But to argue which is 'best' gets a pointless as arguing wether the C64
is better than an Atarit 800, or wahtever the old-time flamewars are...

Indeed, for many years, the Leica was the amateur's camera in 35mm, with
the pros preferring the Zeiss Contax, a beautifully-made camera.

The COntax II is plain _beautiful_. I rebelled against my father by
saying the COtnax was superior to the Leica before the War, and buying a
COntax II to prove it. I then bougth a Lieca as well :-).
But seriosuly. That 'roll top desk' shutter is amazing. The only problem
is the cloth tapes the blids run on. They do break ,and the repalcement
has to be the right material -- it mst not strtch, etc. AFAIK it's almost
impossibel to get the tapes now, if anyone knows of a source, I have this
other COtnax 2 with one tape broken.
As I mentioend in another message, the Russian Kiev is a copy of the
COntax II. not as well made. But absolutely the same design (to the
extent at at oen time if you had a COtnax repaired, it was likely to end
up with Kiev parts in it). The book 'All yoy need to know about the
design and repair of Russian cameras' has a section on this shutter,
incluidign jsut wwaht is engaged at various speed settings. If you paln
on working on one, that book is essential.

According to Buckland, the original Contax was one of the things designed
by Emmanual Goldberg. BUT, because he was a Jew, as WWII started up,
Zeiss [Germany] systematically destroyed virtually all records of his
existence.
