What camera is this?

What camera is this? My wife found this image on the Internet and asked me but I was unable to answer her question.

Don't know but I like it.

My guess is that it is a Pentacon - a medium format camera.

By chance, there is a recent APUG thread.on a similar model.. (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

Very weird.

It is a "mirrored version" of the Pentacon Six.

Someone must have photoshopped it.

Yep - a poorly photoshopped mirror image. You can see that they didn't bother to reverse the word "color" and the 12 & 24 markings after they flipped it.

They also didn't bother to copy over and modify the ASA DIN dial, as that would've been too much work. Instead, they duplicated the film-type reminder dial.

Amateurs and hacks. My colleagues and I did much better than that ten years ago.

Here's a real one:

Your wife din't find it on the Internet, it's today's re-start up screen for Windows 10, I can't see anything wrong with the image. Earlier they used an image of an Exacta which was quite nice, well actually quite good

My PC is a different screen ratio and gets entirely different images, my general comment is Microsoft are using some superb images yesterday's was from Edinburgh.

Everything is wrong with it. See my posting (#6) preceding yours.

Being left handed, I do like the location of the shutter release .

Thanks to share the link to my Thread...... Btw. it's fun to see the color image in the wlf frames the same bridge (i.e. Music Bridge in Rome) where I was for some shots of my test...

Easy challenge. Pentacon Six TL... With Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar 80mm f2.8

BUT, BUT BUT...

That camera usually has the shutter button on the right hand. Yours shows the button at the left hand and the controls are inverted (film advance, shutter speed dial). That is very strange!

 

[Sirius Glass]

Exas, Exacta, and several other East German cameras has shutter releases on the left side of the camera. Something that is preferred by some left handed photographers since they are the only ones in the right mind.

Flavio, see posts #5 and 6 .

But the real shutter release is on the right.

 

[Mainecoonmaniac]

Thanks for the GAS!

Flavio, see posts #5 and 6 .

My bad... sorry.

 

[Sirius Glass]

But the real shutter release is on the right.

Not for people who have their mind in the right side of the brain. The Hasselblad was designed to be fired with the left index finger.

Even with the Hasselblad, señor, the release is on the right...

(boss points to camera using left index finger): "Hasselblad, listen! You are fired! We're replacing you with a Mamiya..."

Only in your dream, in fact your nightmares.
