Name That Camera!

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?

Appears to be shooting his hat = macro. The trigger finger is on the front of the body. My guess is an Edixa Reflex:

 

[Soeren]

Yeah probably more likely. Not leicaflex
Miranda or how about Topcon?

 

[Luminousoctaves]

Yes, Topcon is a good guess!

 

[Soeren]

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...

Wow! Pretty much spot on!

 

[Paul Howell]

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.?

What camera? I don't see a camera!

 

[AgX]

I think your right, the flash shoe is the key,...

I rather think the shallow slope of the prism-housing front is the key.

Frank really knows how to display a camera!

Some of the photos of the cameras from you guys look fantastic, drool drool
