Collection by ffotografer.
I started collecting in July 2014 when I inherited a dozen cameras from an uncle. I'd always been interested in photography and at one point collected the Hasselblad cameras and system accessories. My initial aim was to collect an example of all the cameras I'd previously owned, but now it has gone on to around 200 examples of a wide range of types. There's no particular theme but I spend most weekends scouring local markets and "vide greniers" here in France looking for "finds". The @ designation describes where I sourced them .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Contact ffotografer
Cameras
Manufacturer:Model | Manufacture years | Serial Number | Date acquired | Price Paid | Comments | |
AGFA: Agfamatic 200 Sensor | 1972 | Jan 2016 | F4 Came in a 3 camera lot @Ebay.fr | |||
AGFA: Agfamatic 2008 Tele Pocket | 1976 | May 2015 | F4 Quality feel compared to the similar Kodak Ektra range. @Chabanais | |||
AGFA: Clack | 1954-1965 | Not found | May 2015 | F4 in leather case @Cherves Chatelars The Clack camera was manufactured by Agfa 1954-65. This is the earlier model which has a metal body, later ones were made of plastic. It is a simple, boxlike camera, with a single-element 95mm meniscus lens with built-in close-up lens and yellow filter. It takes 6×9 cm pictures on 120 film. | ||
AGFA: Iso Pak (1968) | 1968 | Sept 2016 | F4 @ Marillac le Franc | |||
AGFA: Iso Rapid I (Mod III) | 1968-1970 | June 2017 | @ Yvrac Nice condition with Agfa "isi" flashgun. | |||
AGFA: Iso Rapid Ic (Mod II) | 1968 | Not found | July 2015 | F4 1969 @Montembouef Agfa's Rapid film system, which used 35mm film, appeared in 1964 as a rival to Kodak's 126 film. The film was supplied in special metal cassettes. Whereas the Rapid system used a standard film pressure plate, 126 relied on the close tolerances of its cartridge to hold the film flat. Compared to standard 35mm film, the Rapid system was easier to load, since the film did not have to be threaded onto a take-up spool. The new full cassette is simply placed in one side of the film chamber with its leader protruding, and an empty cassette in the other side. Then the camera is closed and can be used after winding to the first exposure; the film feeds into the empty cassette. The film does not need to be rewound. At the end of the roll, the now-empty cassette is moved to the other side and used as the take-up cassette for the next roll. The Rapid film system was not entirely new, but a modification of Agfa's Karat film cartridge system of the mid-1930s. The Rapid system had the added capability of setting the camera's autoexposure mechanism (if any) to the proper film speed automatically, as did the 126 cartridge. A similar system to the Rapid cartridge was made in East Germany, called SL System. | ||
AGFA: Isola I | 1957-1963 | None | May 2015 | F4 Had to bargain hard to get this. It took a lot of cleaning, but yet another nice AGFA. @Roumazieres. | ||
AGFA: Isolette (after war) | 1945-1950 | None | Feb 2015 | G5 Bellows a bit saggy, otherwise excellent. @Ebay Fr | ||
AGFA: Isomat Rapid | 1965-1969 | AG 4947 BY | April 2017 | Mint @ La Rochefoucauld with a cute little Agfa collapsible flash "Tully" | ||
AGFA: Silette Record | 1963 | none found | May 2015 | G4 bit bashed but working meter and speeds. Lever wind at base. @Chabanais The camera has a completely new angular body, similar to the later Agfa Optima 500 and Agfa Optima 500 SN, rapid-wind lever and re-wind lever on bottom; with Coupled Selenium cell meter with readout on top and finder and viewfinder. The lens is Agfa Color Apotar 45mm f/2.8 in Prontor 500LK shutter. | ||
Asahi: Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic (SP) | 1964 | 3833030 | Mar 2015 | F4 A great example - clean in every respect, with f1.4 lens. Also a very nice original Pentax bellows unit. @Cognac le Foret. | ||
Asahi: Pentax Espio 120 | 1994 | 9675496 | Sep 2015 | F4 @Vitrac From 1990-2005, Pentax sorted its compact cameras into two main groups. The low end range had a PC prefix, but the high end series was branded as Espio (IQZoom in the US). These were mostly quite advanced compacts with built-in flash, autofocus, and zoom lenses. | ||
Asahi: Pentax Espio 80 | 1996 | 7830972 | Oct 2017 | Neat 35-80 Zoom compact @ Chasseneuil | ||
Asahi: Pentax Espio Mini | 1994 | 1221858 | Oct 2015 | F4 @Chasseneuil | ||
Asahi: Pentax K1000 | 1976-1997 | 6792604 | May 2019 | @ Chassenon A grubby but fully working classic with Vivitar 28mm | ||
Asahi: Pentax ME Super | 1980-1986 | 3825865 | Mar 2015 | F4 Good clean functional condition. Bright viewfinder and easy to use with aperture priority and LED speed indications. @Ebay Fr In 1977, Pentax had introduced two compact 35mm SLRs, the MX and the ME, after the Olympus OM-1 presented in 1972 had introduced a new trend for compactness in SLR cameras. The Pentax ME was the automatic model, but it had no manual mode. It was replaced in 1979 by the simpler MV and the more advanced ME Super, which was the smallest and lightest SLR (440g) available, with the following changes: manual mode added shutter speed range from 4s to 1/2000, sync at 1/125 additional shoe contact for dedicated Pentax flash units different finder magnification The marking "ASAHI" in the pentaprism housing was eliminated sometime between the ME and the ME Super | ||
Asahi: Pentax ME Super | 1980-1986 | 3858964 | May 2019 | @ Chassenon with 3 lenses Vivitar, Sigma, Eikor | ||
Asahi: Pentax MZ-M | 1997-2005 | 7589664 | Jul 2017 | Bulk purchase of 4 cameras from a friend . A rather plastic and lightweight relation to it's forbears. Undoubtedly good optics and with millenium software, I expect delivered very good images. | ||
Asahi: Pentax PC-5000 AF | 8585871 | Jun 2015 | Neat little non-zoom AF, @St Mary. | |||
Balda: Baldessa RF/LK | 1964 | 404016 | Aug 2015 | F4 Missing cover to the 15 volt flash battery compartment. Otherwise excellent. @Etagnac It has an unusual folding film advance key in the base - requiring a 180° turn, along with a spring-out rewind crank. The RF-LK has a rangefinder, a flash-holder and a coupled lightmeter. | ||
Beier: Beirette VSN | c1970 | Oct 2015 | F4 Black version, a little scuffed but working @La Rochefoucauld. | |||
Belomo Minsk: Vilia | c1974 | 9419960 | April 2019 | @ Roumazieres. Good working condition with case. | ||
Bencini: Comet S | c1950 | Nov 2014 | I was attracted to this camera, as they looked good with all that polished aluminium. However once I got my hands on one in the flesh so to speak - very disappointed a cheap and nasty 126 camera with limited function ality.@Ebay UK | |||
Berning Robot: Robot I | 1934-1938 | 15652 | Nov 2017 | A modestly priced acquisition from a friend who was looking for a good home for his dad's cameras. Much appreciated delightful Swiss engineering the first ever clockwork driven film advance 35mm camera. Condition a bit tired some chrome missing and corrosion to the clock winding however optically and mechanically perfect, with both cassettes a highly usable camera which I will test drive! | ||
Bilora (Kürbi & Niggeloh): Bella 66 Standard | c1962 | 10055 | Feb 2016 | Mine has grey fabric finish and is without the "STANDARD" description below the lens, otherwise similar but has lever wind film advance and Biloskop f8 lens. With original box @ebay.fr | ||
Bolex-Paillard: 7.5 Macrozoom | E 16665 | Apr 2016 | External cosmetics and optics OK. Unfortunately batteries left in have corroded internals. Serial number dates to 1969. @Roumazieres The 7.5 Macrozoom was a lower priced option to the 155/160 series cameras. It was constructed of lightweight aluminum and covered with imitation leather. Advertising suggested that the small size allowed it to "slip easily into a brief case, an overnight bag or a handbag." The camera featured a wide angle f/1.9 zoom lens of 7.5-21mm focal length with a focus range of 5" to infinity. A multi-purpose lens cover served as a sunshade and cap and could be lowered to produce curtain-fade effects; the camera did not operate with the lid closed. | |||
Bolex-Paillard: C8S | c1954 | 773426 | Feb 2016 | Mint condition with display stand. Serial number dates to 1959 . @ La Rochefoucauld The C-8S was introduced as a simplified, low cost pocket-size camera, featuring a single operating speed of 16fps. The fixed field optical viewfinder was only suitable for lenses of standard focal length. However, viewfinder prisms could be fitted over the front of the viewing window for lenses of different focal lengths. This model was originally sold at a price of $69.50 US in 1958, and included a Lytar 12.5mm f/2.5 fixed focus lens. The declic handle, seen left, was available for an additional $16, tax included. | ||
Canon: Canon AE-1 | 1976-1984 | 3037935 | Mar 2015 | H6 A well worn body but excellent f1.8 50mm. One of these (black) was my main camera throughout the 80's. @Ebay Fr. | ||
Canon: Canon AT-1 | c1977 | 550468 | Jul 2017 | Bulk purchase of 4 cameras from a friend Including an f1.8 and converter accessories. Mint condition. | ||
Canon: Canon T70 | 1984 | 2088402 | June 2016 | @St Mary with 35-70 zoom | ||
Canon: Canonet 28 (1971) | 1971 | C86011 | Mar 2015 | J5 Made in Taiwan, rather disappointing quality feel for a Canon. Came with flash. @Ebay.fr | ||
Canon: Dial 35 | 1963-1967 | Oct 2017 | Ebay.fr Excellent condition.. A really interesting half frame camera, The body shape in use is vertical,but produces "landscape" images across the film, unlike other half frames I own like the Olympus and Ricoh The short, wide-diameter lens barrel containing the CdS meter photocells window around the 28mm lens. Rotating the lens barrel sets the speed of the Seikosha shutter; the aperture is set automatically. A button below the viewfinder can be pulled out to give manual aperture control, for manual exposure settings or flash. Film speed is set by a scale around the meter window. | |||
Canon: EOS 5 (EOS 5 QD / EOS A2 / EOS A2E) | 1992 | 0202277 | July 1995 | E6 My last everyday camera from the film era. I only went digital in 2003. Until recently, I used the 28-105 lens on my EOS digital. Lens now gifted to a relative. @Castle Cameras High Wycombe | ||
Canon: EOS 50 (EOS 50E / EOS 55 / EOS ELAN II / EOS ELAN IIE) | 1995 | 1058365 | Mar 2015 | F4 French flea market, with 80-200 zoom. Brilliant autofocus, very similar handling to my EOS 5. @Eymouthiers. | ||
Canon: EOS 650 | 1987 | 1542540 | Oct 2017 | This body came as a consequence of my interest in the lens (28-80 f2.8L Ultrasonic in mint condition) and was effectively free as I only paid 25 euros for the lot. An early example of the EOS philosophy lacks some of the bells and whistles like the EOS 5 I own. Mint @ Chasseneuil | ||
Canon: Prima Super 105 u | 7910558 | May 2015 | F4 Neat little compact zoom. Mint boxed. Local bric-a-brac. @Cellefrouin | |||
Canon: Prima Super 28V (Autoboy Luna) | 1994 | 7308620 | Oct 2014 | F4 Great condition works well. Another flea market impulse purchase, I just can't resist buying a working 35mm for less than a euro, not exactly classic though! With the Sure Shot (Prima in Europe, Autoboy in Japan) series of compact cameras, Canon became a major player in the world market for consumer cameras. From the original Sure Shot/AF35M/Autoboy of November 1979 to the Sure Shot 90u II Date of 2005, this range was a spectacular commercial success. @Roumazieres | ||
Canon: Sure Shot 105 Zoom (Prima Super 105 / Autoboy Luna 105) | 1997 | 2317303 | May 2015 | F4 Mint Boxed with instructions @Cellefrouin | ||
Canon: Sure Shot Zoom 85 (Prima Zoom 85 / Autoboy Luna 85) Date | 1998 | 2553208 | Aug 2015 | F4 Mine is a black version of the same camera. @Rouzede | ||
Canon: Sure Shot Zoom Max (Prima Zoom Mini / Autoboy A) | 1992 | 8957660 | Jun 2015 | Works but film back latch broken. @St Mary | ||
Corfield: Corfield 66 | 1961 | AA007 83 | July 2014 | F5 Part of a relatives collection left to me in July 2014. Cosmetically poor but works fine. Apparently only 300 made ( my rarest camera?), Came with 3 roll film and 2 single frame backs.The Corfield 66 had a focal plane shutter from 1/10 to 1/500. It accepted 120 film in rollfilm backs, and had an interchangeable lens with a special bayonet mount, but the only lens ever made for it was the standard Corfield Lumax 95mm f/3.5. I have the extension tubes, in 12mm, 24mm and 48mm lengths. | ||
Coronet Camera: Fildia | c1944-1952 | June 2016 | A mint example - what a find! @Cherves Chatelars | |||
Coronet Camera: Joni-Box | c1930s | Oct 2014 | F5 I never owned a box camera but this is a nice example of an English camera marketed in France. and badged "Photo a Gautier" @Ebay.fr Probably made by Tiranty - Tiranty was a French camera manufacturer based in Paris. Pre-WW2 they produced several camera models under the license of British firm Coronet. After WWII, Coronet linked with the Tiranty to avoid French import restrictions. Then several Coronet camera models were made in only France, some with Boyer lenses, and some with instruction imprints in French. | |||
Coronet Camera: Toutes Distances | Jun 2015 | F2 Boxed mint example of this English designed but French built version of the "Every Distance", 1930's camera. Found at a market stall @Beziers, Southern France. Tiranty was a French camera manufacturer based in Paris. Pre-WW2 they produced several camera models under the license of British firm Coronet. After WWII, Coronet linked with the Tiranty to avoid French import restrictions. Then several Coronet camera models were made in only France, some with Boyer lenses, and some with instruction imprints in French. | ||||
Eho-Altissa: Altissa | 1954-1957 | Nov 2014 | G6 - cute @Ebay.uk Eho-Altissa was a German camera maker based in Dresden. The company started in 1892 as Richard Knoll\'s \"Photo Spezialhaus\" in Leipzig. Since 1904 it started repairing and manufacturing photographic supply. In 1910 it moved to Dresden. In 1927 it was taken over in by Emil Hofert and later continued by Berthold Altmann. In the early 1930s the company was successfully making box cameras. The mechanician Karl Heinrich Altmann created the unique \"Altissa\" box camera line. The company\'s cameras were sold under brands of warehouses and photo suppliers: Adina (Kaufhof), AKO, Arto, Beier, Errtee (Romain Talbot, Berlin), Fotam, Fotka (Czech), Hamaphot, Hermax, Mantel, Mono, Nebo, Rhaco, RECORD, Rilo, Staufen, and Wara. In 1937 the company launched its only reflex camera Altiflex, and in 1939 its sophisticated 35mm viewfinder camera series Altix. The company\'s name was changed several times: EHO-Kamerafabrik GmbH (1931), Amca Werk Berthold Altmann (1940), Altissa Camera Werk (1941), VEB Altissa Camera Werk (1952). In 1950 it was still a private company, having 160 employees. But Berthold Altmann decided to move to Western Germany. In absence he was condemned by East-German justice, and as consequence his company was taken over by the Socialist East-German state. From 1959 it was part of VEB Kamera- und Kinowerke. The production of its cameras was ceased in 1961. A license production of the Altix VI cameras was launched in Sarajevo (Yugoslavia) with the original production equipment from the abandoned German factory. | |||

Fex - Indo: Impera Renault | Mar 2015 | H5 Cheap, cheap, cheap local flea market. I think they produced thousands of these for car promos in the 70's? @Aix sur Vienne | ||||
Fex - Indo: Mosquito I | 1955-1962 | **** | Feb 2015 | H6 My first "Bakelite" camera. Came with faux leather case, in working condition but I wouldn't fancy risking a film in it! Interesting that the film plane is parabolic rather than flat, must compensate for a "non planar" lens? | ||
Fex - Indo: Rubi Fex (4x4) | c1956-1965 | 480234 | May 2015 | F4 These are suposed to be hundreds of these at French flea markets, but after nearly a year of collecting, the first I've come across. | ||

Fuji Optical: Fujica Auto 5 | 1980 | 7097663 | Mar 2015 | G5 1980 Neat non af auto with f2.8 38mm lens. Powered by two AA batteries more convenient than the smaller fiddly types used by most of the era | ||
Fuji Optical: Fujica Auto 7 | 7053937 | April 2015 | F5 Similar to the Auto 5 but with Auto Focus @Chabanais | |||
Fuji Optical: Fujica AX 3 | 1980 | 7026748 | June 2016 | @St Mary 50mm f1.6 | ||
Fuji Optical: Fujica Compact Deluxe | c1969 | 3011212 | Oct 2014 | J5 1969 Until I had one, I thought the Canonets would be the best cameras of this type. However, the build quality, integral focusing thumb wheel, and general handling of the Fujica make it far superior to the equivalent Canon. @Ebay.fr | ||
Fuji Optical: Fujica Half | c1963 | 384710 | Jun 2015 | F4 1963 Real quality feel to this camera. Again surprisingly Fujica beats the equivalent Canon. @ St Mary The camera could be used in fully automatic or manual exposure with the Selenium cell meter. The camera has a spring-motor. One complete winding for 18 consecutive pictures by a large knob on the bottom of the camera. | ||

GOMZ: Smena 8 | c1969-1971 | 493100 | May 2015 | F4 Surprisingly nice Russian 35mm viewfinder. Despite plastic construction handles well! @Ebay Fr | ||
Haking: Halina 35X | c1959 | X47460 | Nov 2014 | F5 ebay uk. I had one of these as a lad, terrible quality. Can't imagine why I swapped my Paxette for this? I quickly upgraded to the vastly superior Zenith E later. @Ebay.uk | ||
Haking: Halina Paulette | c1965 | ???? | Jul 2017 | Bulk purchase of 4 cameras from a friend . I thought my Halina 35x was cheap. But this caps it! If it hadn't been part of a job lot, probably wouldn't have bothered. However it makes you appreciate Japanes and German quality. | ||
Hasselblad: 500 C/M | 1970-1994 | RV1259535 | Dec 2014 | E3 Ebay Uk from Peter Walnes a high quality dealer. At one point in the late 90's, I owned a brand new 203FE and lenses from 30mm fisheye to 350mm. Sold it all to fund my move to France. Great to have a Hasselblad again. @Ebay.uk | ||

Kodak Eastman: Advantix C450 | 0510081 | Sep 2015 | F3 @Roumazieres The Advanced Photo System (or APS) was introduced in 1996 as an alternative to or even as modern replacement for the 110 format. The "IX240" film cartridges are optimized for fully automatic film load, enclosing the 24mm wide film completely when not in use. The film is even put back into its cartridge and returned to the user after it has been developed. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Advantix F300 | c2001 | in box | Oct 2015 | B1 As new still boxed, even the box seals unbroken complete original kit with film, case and batteries @St Projet | ||
Kodak Eastman: advantix F320 | 09034087 | April 2015 | F5 Cheap and horrible APS. Doesn't have any of the endearing features of the T700 @La Rochefoucauld. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Advantix T 700 | 0084726 | April 2015 | F4 Local Bric-a-Brac. I was looking for an APS camera for the collection and this rather pretty and clever camera fits the bill. @Chabanais The Kodak Advantix T700 is an ultra-compact weatherproof camera with a 2x zoom lens for the APS film system. It was a typical Kodak design for the APS film system, with the flash built into the lenscover. | |||

Kodak Eastman: Disc 4000 | 1982-1984 | April 2015 | F5 1982 Neat concept the disc cameras, Fairly thick film was cut into a disc of 15 8×10.5mm rectangular frames, arranged around the edge of a plastic hub, in a similar manner to Viewmaster disks. The disc was mounted in a light-proof cassette which could simply be dropped into the camera. The camera would take a photo, and then rotate the disk 24° for the next shot. The discs had a magnetic strip included, to store information about print settings - allowing duplicate reprints to be made later. The hub carried raised white areas with frame numbers, which were visible through a hole in the cassette. I imagine very poor quality images from the tiny 9x10mm film format @St Claud | |||
Kodak Eastman: Ektra 250 | 1980-1983 | not found | Mar 2015 | B1 Made in Germany. 1980. Excellent condition in presentation case and box. with "flipflash" and film. @St Claud | ||

Micro Precision: Microflex | 1958 | 280343 | July 2014 | F3 Part of a relatives collection left to me in July 2014. Absolutely mint a fine camera. Just ran a film (Jan15) it produces superb images. Shutter speeds must be spot on too! Could just be the best camera in my collection given the rarity and quality? MPP is the only postwar British manufacturer of TLRs. In 1958, MPP brought out the lever-wound Microflex, inspired by the Rolleiflex. This had excellent optics (by Taylor & Hobson) and the camera was well made, but the crank invited hard use for which it was not designed. Shortly after its introduction, Britain dropped the high duty rates that had made Rollei equipment prohibitively expensive, and the Microflex had to be heavily discounted. | ||
Minolta: Dynax 300si | 1995 | 97517618 | Feb 2015 | F3 I mainly bought this for the other lenses, now sold! But I like the "quiet" body driven AF, I hadn't realised how good the Dynax AF cameras were, so it's a keeper until a better model comes along! @Ebay.fr | ||

One looked more like a conventional SLR camera, this one, the Minolta 110 Zoom SLR, which has a built-in 1:4,5/25-50mm zoom lens. The aperture selector isn\'t part of the lens. It\'s placed around the exposure-meter-eye instead. The meter controls just the shutter speed. | ||

Minox: Minox 35 GT | 1981 | 5033089 | Feb 2015 | B3 Super little camera came with leather case, display case and original box, but no flash. @Angouleme via Ebay The Minox 35 GT, introduced in 1981, continued Minox's successful range of 35mm compact cameras, reputedly the smallest full-frame 35mm cameras ever made. The lens retracts into the camera body when closed, fully opening the cover activates the battery. Exposure is automatic, aperture priority. Different models in the Minox 35 range were identified by shutter release buttons in differing colours: the GT is easily identified by its yellow shutter release button. The GT improved features of its predecessors, the EL and the GL. It introduced an electronic self-timer, with a flashing LED above the camera's name. Another improvement on the previous models is the siting of the cable release socket to the side of the shutter release button, to prevent accidental triggering of the shutter. | ||
Minox: Minox C | 1969-1979 | 2316260 | Nov 2014 | F4 I had a Minolta 16, which was the nearest I got to a "spy camera". Always wanted one of these and finally got a great example! @Ebay.fr Approximately 169,863 were produced in 1969-1976. It uses a reliable and accurate CdS meter, and is the first Minox to offer automatic exposure. This is accomplished through an electronically controlled shutter, as the lens uses a fixed aperture of f/3.5. It is the largest 9.5mm film format Minox ever offered, at 120mm long. | ||

Olympus: Mju II (Infinity Stylus Epic) | 1996 | 5297929 | Sept 1998 | E3 A camera I bought from new in the late 90's, because of its portability. Has taken some of my favorite all time images! @Guernsey Channel Islands The Olympus mju was an award-winning 35mm compact camera issued by Olympus in 1997. Its small splashproof body, accurate autofocus, fast and sharp prime lens, and integrated auto-flash, led to it becoming something of a modern classic. It was originally available in black or silver. Around 3.8 million examples were sold. | ||
Olympus: Mju Zoom 115 (Infinity Stylus Zoom 115) | 1997 | 4119623 | May 2016 | Similar styling to original Mju but fatter. Surprisigly long zoom out lens, with pop up flash. Truly a Mju on steroids! @Chabanais | ||

Olympus: Olympus XA-2 | 1980 | 2030776 | April 2017 | @La Rochefaucauld The Olympus XA series of cameras were a range of very compact cameras in a clam-shell case. They were designed for Olympus by Maitani Yoshihisa. The XA2, introduced in 1980, was a simplified version of the XA with zone focusing and a programmed exposure system. It had a four-elements-in-four-groups Zuiko 35mm f:3.5 lens. The exposure meter was a CdS exposure sensor above the lens. Shutter speed range was 2 secs. to 1/750. The minimum focusing distance was 3,3 feet or 1 meters. Its film speed range was ASA 25 -800. | ||

It was a 35mm half frame camera, with clockwork motor film advance for 25 to 30 exposures. The 25mm f2.8 3 groups 4 elements lens was surrounded by the selenium cell operating the exposure metering, setting aperture automatically, with manual override option. Shutter speeds were 1/30 sec. (flash sync.) or 1/125 sec. with automatic exposure. | ||

Voigtländer: Bessamatic | 1959-1962 | 22483 | May 2015 | F4 This is the original 1959 version without the later protrusion in front of the pentaprism to view the lens settings. @Ebay.fr The Bessamatic was launched by Voigtländer in 1959, a few years after the 1953 Contaflex and the 1957 Retina Reflex, all from Germany. This is by far the biggest and heaviest of these three leaf-shuttered SLR cameras, at more than 2 lbs. or 0.935kg. The late arrival on the market had helped Voigtländer improve the ergonomic design taking advantage of previous designs. Nevertheless, it has all the shortcomings found on these cameras, the finder blackout after exposure and the limited range of interchangeable lenses. | ||

Yashica: Yashica FR I | 1978 | 152193 | Mar 2015 | J8 Rough non working body. But i bought it for the ML 50mm f1.7 which is F4. @Ebay.fr The Yashica FR1 was an electronically-controlled 35mm film SLR camera made by Yashica and produced between 1977_81. Based on the earlier Contax RTS and Yashica FR, the FR1 combined some of the best attributes of those cameras. Equipped with the C/Y common bayonet mount, the FR1 could accept a variety of Yashica / Contax lenses and was targeted at serious amateur and professional photographers who did not need the added features of the more expensive Contax RTS. It had an electronically-controlled shutter with speeds from 1 sec. to 1/1000 (plus B), two exposure modes - manual and aperture priority - as well as DOF preview, self-timer, and full exposure information visible in the viewfinder. | ||

Zeiss Ikon: Piccolette (201) (545/12) | 1927-1930 | 242878 | Nov 2017 | A modestly priced acquisition from a friend who was looking for a good home for his dad's cameras.

Zeiss Ikon: Tenax I (570/27) | 1939-1941 | H87336 | Nov 2014 | F5 I love this camera incredibly compact, pre-war design. Ran a test roll in Jan 15 passable quality results for age. @Ebay.fr The Tenax I was actually launched after the Tenax II. Like the Tenax II, it is a 24×24mm square-format camera using 35mm film, with a rapid-advance lever around the lens. But it is a much simpler camera, with a completely different body, no rangefinder, a simple folding viewfinder on the top plate, and a behind-the-lens Compur shutter to 1/300. Most of them are equipped with a Zeiss Novar 3.5cm f/3.5 lens. A smaller number have a Carl Zeiss Jena 3.5cm f/2.8 Tessar. Production began in 1939, and it was nearly halted in 1941. There was limited production during the rest of the war. | ||
