What's your latest new old camera ? (Part 2)

[Theo Sulphate]

Although I have a Polaroid SX-70, an SLR 690, and an Image 1200, this latest camera lets me use Fuji pack film.

Going through some boxes given to me by my maternal aunts, I came across this gem - what a pleasant surprise! According to one web site, these were made between 1934 and 1941.

Very Sweet, Theo.

Jim - with what you do w/ old gear & glass - get all the stuff you desire & post lots of results.

Sadly my packfilm camera has cost me hundreds of dollars in FP-3000b film lol.

I like how the "negative" can get solarized, so you can get 3 photos for the price of one:

Skorpius, that's a most endearing shot. I'll bet you savor that for a long time.

Jim - Your shot of the truck interior w/ the Pinkham 16" caused a sizeable change in my perception of a good photo. You do more soft focus work than I'm tuned to, but that truck photo had more rich detail even beyond the depth of field. It left a mark on my appreciation. You could post an image of a phonebook page & I'd look carefully at it.

 

[Theo Sulphate]

That's an absolutely beautiful photo! I want to save it - what is her name?

 

[skorpiius]

Thanks for the comments, her name is Vanessa.

The next photos I take with FP-3000b I want to see if the neg gets solarized if it's kept int the dark immediately after peeling.

A 1914 Graflex Jr 2X3 just arrived today.
It looks like it will take a little bit of work before I need to order film for it.

I'll bet that won't attract any attention.

Two from the dreaded auction site

Fron KEH via that auction site I was able to buy a bgn contax IIa for a bargain. Two of the shutter slates look as if they have been bitten by a vampire and have two little dents. Cosmetic damage that doesnt seem to bother camera. Will know for sure after film is developed. My second acquisition is a mint Minolta 16 MG kit in presentstion case with several film cassettes. The cassettes are worth more than I paid for the camera. The ancient selenium meter seems to work properly but since camera selects shutter speed according to what Minolta wanted I will have to wait for results.

I just picked up a zeiss ikon tlr the had a roll of verichrome inside. Looks like the first 3-4 frames had been taken but I likely ruined one or two of them when I opened the camera. I plan to shoot the rest then develop the film and hope for some cool vintage photo......

 

[HiHoSilver]

If that Zeiss (Ikoflex?) is still working, I'm betting it'll make you really happy. I passed a beautiful one up 'cause I wanted interchangeable lens. I suspect withing comparable years of manufacture, they give up little or none to the Rolleis.

 

[Dwayne Martin]

I really can't tell how well its working since it has film in it and I don't want to waste any exposures (beyond what I've already fogged) until I've settled on a decent subject, but all I paid was $34.00 so I don't stand to lose much even if it goes on the shelf.....

I received another bag of my grandfather's camera gear. It had a another Minolta SRT 102, black this time with a couple of lenses, and a Marvel 127 half frame camera. The Minolta needs to be sent out for a CLA once I figure out who is good with Minoltas. The Marvel rangefinder was way off, now fixed, and the focus mechanism was sloppy, temporarily fixed the sagging spring. I might find a roll of 127 once I replace a missing red window since the shutter works well at all speeds except B and T.

PM me your address and I'll mail you 2 rolls of 127 Royal Pan that have been languishing in my office too long.

Bravo Jim!

DOH! Got back home tonight and grabbed the film and it's Verichrome 620! So sorry!

That is OK. It's the thought that counts and why this forum is great.

Two Cosinas - CT 1 AND C 1. I spent my youth thinking Cosina were cheap and not very good. Then I read, recently, about Cosina making Nikons, Canons and Olympuses so I thought I would see for myself. Have to say, they are very well made.

Cosina makes the entry level Nikon FM10.
