Taken on the cheap faux-wood floor of my attic. Used studio lights and bits of thick clothing to construct the lighting.
I don't smoke, but looking at this photo makes me want a cigarette or something.

Sadly, the camera and 21/2.8 have been sold, a long time ago. I've got just the 50 and 28 now (different copies).

Steve, nice looking camera. I sold my RTS II a few years ago, and I kept my 139Q, because it's such a nice place for a Tessar 45/2.8, but I never even handled an Aria.

Thanks, Jim. I miss the camera sometimes (and the 21 often!). The Aria has a nice feel, and it's very compact, maybe too much though, so I actually prefer a beefier RX. The 21/2.8 felt a bit front heavy on the Aria, but balances perfectly with an RX, or RTSII, I'd imagine.

It seems you are missing a screw in the front lens plate of the 5D
vario1, good eye!
It's actually a 1DII, but you're right about the missing screw. I'll drop in to the Camera Repair Centre later this week and pick up a new one. People sometimes tell me that I have a screw loose, but I didn't believe them until now.

I had the RTS II and the RX. The RX is not only an extremely handsome and well-designed body but the shutter is the smoothest/silkiest, quietest and most well-damped shutter of any SLR I have used. Really sweet camera and I sure miss it. The DSLRs of today are ugly by comparison.
