I love thrift stores, a few years back I found two pairs of vintage sierra sneakers for biker scout boots, one set in MINT ( with tags still on ) condition two weeks apart as well as many other things over the years.

today I got this :)

Hgnnnn. I had a similar score a year ago... but for the incorrect “narrow tab” version. I need to find me one of THOSE! :D

Amazing find! I’m wondering, is anyone mounting these on the macro body with a section of the cord still in place, and perhaps fed into a drilled hole to give it a more natural, working look/feel?

One for Dann I think with his wonderful custom macros. Perhaps as part of a retro data log download port or charging point?

I've actually just begun gathering parts for yet another set of customs! (These are all parts I already have, just mean that I'm grouping them together)

This newest set will go back to the beginning of my custom history, in that it will be Eumig-based. Another Eumig Electric. With the Miranda Lenses. Not the stunt macros Miranda Lenses, the more generic looking ones.

And I ACTUALLY DO have a part that could facilitate the cable running into the side, so I may try that out, thanks for the suggestion!!
 
I love building them, and I love that you love them!

Thank you so much for the kindness.

The only bummer is that I think this is my last Kalimar viewer! (unless I happen to come across any more affordable Kalimar Reflexes or the like. I ain't gonna hold my breath)
 
Yes. The gathering momentum behind the zeal with which we have pursed Kalimars over the last 15 years has left us all in a difficult position. I picked up two complete cameras about 10 years ago and felt hard done to when I paid close to £100 each for them. If only I had thought ahead.

Its a shame really as I am sure at lot of us buy them to use in builds and not as 'investments' but you do have to look at it that way now given prices of £1000 plus.

go to camera meets. I paid $200 last month for a mint one, it's now my main roll film shooter :D
