You are mixing up brands and manufacturers.Interesting - your camera is labeled as Phoenix - most of those I found on the net are labeled as Phenix.

only wanted the meter but they threw in the cameras for 16.00 dollars.
A new old (1938 +/-1) Ihagee Ultrix 3860 (120 rollfilm or 1/6 plate); Carl Zeiss Jena 105mm f4.5 Tessar. Has helical focus, which I like in a folder.
Nice camera. Only shooting rollfilm at this point.

About 6 weeks ago I was showing a wood/brass camera to someone in my local real ale bar. Another customer said he had a couple of his fathers old cameras I could have as he was going to throw them out. One larger than the other.
A couple of weeks later he gave me a 620 Kodak Junior, the leather(ette) is lifting a bit but overall it's in excellent condition and a film at no 3, This is a British made Kodak Ltd camera.
Tonight he gave me the larger camera a No 3 Kodak Pocket Folding camera, US Eastman Kodak manufacture so pre WWI, it's a quarter plate size roll film negative, so I think 118 roll film. It needs a little work to the leather and the pneumatic remote release mechanism has come off at some stage, the two parts were inside the film spool area, just needs 2 screws, the shutter works like new.
The donor won't take any money for them if I buy him a drink, in lieu he insists on buying one backPhoto's to follow.

Beautiful camera, lovely results Mark!
Thanks, paulbarden, There is just something about a 6x9 (and larger) negative.
It occurs to me upon considering this thread that I haven’t bought a new old camera for years. I must be done with the acquisition phase. I got a new Canon 5D MKII for work when it was in production, but nothing really since then. Maybe a couple of lenses, but I’ve felt pretty much set for cameras for a while now, and I’m mainly just maintaining and repairing the things I have as needed.
Both are good lenses. The 150 lenses do not have very close focusing. Extension tubes and/or close-up lenses can be used. My favorite 2-lens combo for the SQ cameras? 65 and 135.A Bronica SQ-Ai with 80mm & 150mm lenses. Good stuff!
That is one of the cameras my mom gave me while visiting her.beautiful camera.A good friend gave me a near pristine Welti 1 for Christmas. Hope to run a roll through it soon...
