Good catch on the lenses. I am not. But some of those lenses are. The lenses were for my various rangefinders and film SLRs years ago. Now I hang them via adapters on my Sony A7 digital. Old glass on full frame digital body, the best of both worlds.

Mine is generally messy, generally something is in pieces and not a lot to look at.. but I enjoy it.
Hmmm, has been so long since I have posted pics in a forum I have forgotten how the Image thing works..

How do you like the ATS120? It seems to be doing pretty well for you.

The TEF6686 goes from $101 to over $200 on Amazon, and none have reviews. Did you get yours from there, or AliExpress (or elsewhere)?
