Yes, that's my Nettar. I can never remember the number, though...
From left to right the cameras are:
Balda Belfoca 6x9
Voigtländer Bessa I 6x9
Zeiss Ikon Nettar 6x4.5
Welta Welti 35mm
Daiichi Zenobia (I think)
Voigtländer Perkeo
I suppose the Gandolfi Traditional is a classic too, even if still in production?
Dead Link Removed
And the little plate cameras: Dead Link Removed
Another one that would have been a sure classic if it weren't too new is the Carbon Infinity. And the Bessa-L too, I guess?
... So... I figured it has to be a 515
PS: I know what a Bessa L is, but I have no clue what a Carbon Infinity is.
It's a 521...
With a Tessar 75mm f:3.5, coated.
The Carbon Infinity is this beast. Mine is no. 46 of about 60 in total...
No offense to anyone, but I believe the culprit may be someone who had little luck with a digital camera, and just uploads whatever the smallest is off their camera straight to the web without croping, resizing, or general touchups. (however the odd dimensions rules that out)
Yes it is see this image:Ian: Have never seen an Agfa Ansco up close...the knob on the side of the front standard that is related to the semi-circular plate, is that for front tilt?
two Ilford Sportis. This is what flea-bay does to you. You randomly see something, buy it, then find out it's the best thing ever and you have to buy another one to carry around. Sportis are a bit like an older (c.1959)Holga but with a decent glass lens (but still has some vignetting). example: http://www.stargazy.org/photos/kew-sporti2/
Brownie No. 2 Model E(left) and Brownie No. 2 Model F. Model E is a cardboard box (with a minor light leak problem - seems to become worse over time. Best blast through a roll all in one day) Model F is a metal box with tripod mounts. Sadly one of its waist level viewfinder mirrors has come loose I don't think it's fixable since there's rivets on the front, not screws.

Finetta 88. Another random charity shop find. It's a quite good 35mm film camera, actually. You just have to learn to judge distance accurately to set the focus and have a handheld light meter on hand to know what to set the aperture(f/16 - f/2.8) and shutter speed(1/250 - 1/25)to. It technically has bulb mode but since I had to fix its shutter resetting problem, I found that bulb mode doesn't work. Something for me to poke at and fiddle with eventually. I think putting colour film through it made me really love it: http://www.stargazy.org/photos/finettalondon/
Well first off, nice photographs. The Finetta 88 shots look like old postcards. Very nice. The Sportis... that has the pop out metal tube doesn't it? I think I got one from an english EBayer who threw it and a couple other cheap cameras into a fiber lined sack and shipped them to Amurica. That didn't work out so well. I modified what was left of it to make a nice 2 1/4 pinhole camera. I thought the vignetting was a product of my changes. Now you tell me they all did it, even with glass. What a hoot. I eventually sent that camera to Donald Qualls down there in North Carolina where he made it even better by working on the symmetry of the pinhole.
The Brownie? Those images will give me nightmares tonight.

Why are the Brownie images so scary to you?Brownies don't get enough credit for taking rather good photos for an 80+year old camera.
