That's the coolest thing since the Leica R3 Safari.
Bad news for the snake, though.
This camera works perfect but it felt like I was doing a drug deal or something with this guy in eastern europe to get it, and it cost like 3 times what a new K60 sold for new back then.

The way the P6 pulls the film through, is totally archaic and extremely strange. A "star wheel" punches through the edges of the roll, and that action pulls it through. Except that the star wheel won't punch it's way through some thicker film bases (like Fuji Velvia).
This guy was in western europe, in West Germany to be more precise. 20 years passed and your camera is still perfectly working. I suppose much more than 3 K60s would jam within this timeAnd none of them would even dream to have MLU as your H1006c
Yup, that was the guy. He hung out in the kiev Dephi forum. I think his name was Alex? It's been 20 + years.. I wish I had kept the hartblei K88 I got from him. Metal shutter, twist click mount that used blad backs. It really was a smooth operating camera but even all upgraded, I was afraid it was gonna break lol. I also still have a couple of P6's, one was "upgraded" and one is stock. They both still work OK other than the normal film transport issues. I honestly haven't used any of this in years. I should load one up with some film and shoot with that 180mm f2.8 Sonnar.
Hi Stephe, that's right, it was me. And here is my 2nd camera, which is still perfectly working.
It was so confusing back then trying to figure out who "the real Hartblei" was, as only one of them were making a really nice camera. The folks Michael Forman was using were obviously a different group of folks from the camera I got from you. I still have the 30mm fisheye, a 45mm super rotator TS 45mm, a 60mm Curtagon, a 80mm Hartblei Arsat and a 180mm f2.8 zeiss. Some really sweet glass
Hey Stephe.....
Remember this on the Delphi forum?
I sold the B&W Cobra skin 6c and prism, but still have this one

My suspicions were correct. The backing "paper" on the new Ektachrome is.005. Velvia is .0035, and a roll of Ilford something is .004. Quite a surprising spread considering the importance of the thickness to the proper operation of some cameras. I will have to break out the 532 and run a roll of Ektachrome thru it. There should be no need to "thicken" the roll.
Yeah, that was a fun time in my photographic journey. It's a shame the Exakta 66 didn't fix the film counter issue. The Schneider lenses were REALLY good. I still have the 60mm f4 Curtagon and need to go out shooting with it.
And to prove that stupid goes to the bone , I have 3 Pentacon Six TL's .
I'll ask directly, then. How are the shutter curtains holding up? I'd love to get get one but am very leery of focal plane shutters.
