it's a tele attachement. i've got one for my T and the quality is not particularly good. Big vignetting, loss of contrast... and focusing down to 3m (9ft)... but the camera looks like a cine camera with them attached...
Nice yashica btw!

this is my first posting in this fantastic forum. I say hello to all members and I hope this strange, heavy (and ugly?) 35mm TLR from 1961 is of any interest for you.

Welcome, that's one weird camera. It's not often to see an OM-2 compared to a TLR
After the damn UK postal strike... anyone for coffee? coffeecan.jpg

.... the Ricoh Diacord L that I bought here on RFF; it took me a whole roll of film to figure out how to use the exposure system, and I'm not sure if it's accurate. So, I have a Sekonic L-208 on the way (though I sure was tempted by those Voightlander meters that fit on the cold shoe).
There are photos I made with it in the film gallery link below.

Chris, I can't help but feel inspired to get out and use the 'Cord when I see your light table shot. The 2.8s are really nice, but they are rare in Sweden and abroad they seem to cost more than I ever want to pay. Unless someone has a nice one to trade for my Hasselblad?
Otherwise, nice photos all round in the thread!

The 2.8D is basic and functional with its sharp 80mm/2.8 Planar lens but without a meter. It is still also my favorite. This model was produced in the year when I was born. It has to be special!
My wife just bought me a new Rolleiflex, bless her heart. It's an unusual version with the lever and knobs on different sides. Hope no one's jealous.......

That's cute. I am jealous. I guess then it is time to drag up my photo of my Snaps o Flex again. I also have two other of my TLR's in my gallery. My latest acquisition awaits my developing the roll of film I put through it before I show and describe it in a separate thread.
Nice one! When is someone going to come up with a more up-to-date Point-n-Schnapps or for more storage, a Canon EOSchnapps 1D with telephoto lens. That could keep a whole bleacher section "warm".
