Photographic Equipment

1970s 35mm SLR photographic equipment, photograph taken about 1978. The camera is a Pentax S1A and it is fitted with a Jupiter-9 85mm f2 portrait lens (made in the USSR). Far right is the Super Takumar 55mm f2 standard lens, and to the left is a Peak 135mm f2.8 telephoto lens. Right foreground is a Pentacon 30mm f3.5 wideangle lens (made in East Germany). The Weston Master 5 light meter (which I still have) is in the left foreground. Ilford FP4 black and white film. Scanned to create a 24 bit colour tif file and processed to sepia using Silkypix software.

Photographic equipment dating from about 1956.

Olympus OM10 fim camera body, with renewed light seals and mirror damper. Zuiko MC Auto-S 50mm f1.8 lens. E.Zuiko Auto-T 135mm f3.5 lens. S Zuiko Auto-Zoom 100~200mm f5 lens. This equipment all seems to date from the early 1980s.

Removing the old gungy light seals from an Olympus OM10, fitting new ones, and renewing the mirror damper. Fortunately the mirror had never made contact with the old damper, so is unspoiled! I used the repair kit marketed by Jon Goodman of Texas.
