One of my Summicron 50's. This one is an old rigid one and Shintaro painted it black for me - to match my MP TA-1. The latter is a hybrid, assembled from various defunct M2's and M3's. Painted black and re-engraved.

I found an adapter that allows me to put Nikkor lenses on my old Konica Autoreflex. This will give me the opportunity to shoot 1/2 frame with Nikkors - without spending $1000's for a FM2 1/2 frame - or $50 000 for a S3M!!!!

Assembled - with my favorite Macro lens - the Nikkor 55f3.5. It is of course stop down - but it will mainly be used for Macro anyway, though the idea of popping a 200f4 on it is appealing.

Bella and Aishia relaxing in front of Viva. Ok, Bella is keeping a close eye on what's going on, particularly with the bowl of dog-treats on the counter!
