Here is a frame from a roll of vintage negatives I purchased.
First off, let me say that the detail and tonality are fantastic. The film is Kodak Pantomic X.
The full size scan I can blow up to about 16x20 on my monitor and just start to see the grain. Wish I could post the whole thing!
But the tonality is what I really like. something about it just pops unlike my 35mm negatives.

i date this around 1972. But its hard to day for sure. the camera lens appears to have a scalloped focus ring.
Canon, Nikon, or Minolta? I'm not sure what the erst of the contraption is. Telephoto adpater? macro extention? Both?
 
Leicaflex?
 
Miranda?
 
Yeah probably more likely. Not leicaflex
Miranda or how about Topcon?
 
I can't figure out the shape of the prism housing

And advancing lever + dial bugs me too.
 
Petri with 135mm and teleconverter, I have the lens, very sharp lens, Petri Cameras were not all that well made but the lens are much better than I would have thought. The 300 and 400 I have are sharper than my Pentax M 42s.
 
Hello,
It may be a Miranda...
(an Automex III on the pic, with its particular front face, without flash shoe) )
 
I think your right, the flash shoe is the key, Petri FT and TTLS have flash shoes, I have Sensormats and EE which all have flash shoes and the shutter release is on the top plate, and the early Solorigr 135mm look a lot like Petri.
 
Would it be even harder to guess what camera Took The Picture.?
 
Some of the photos of the cameras from you guys look fantastic, drool drool
