Vintage film cameras - Page 287 - SV650.org

I thought so too and read a couple of other reviews, which are positive. It's something to put on the Fujica to test it out.

I was thinking, it's about a year since I first posted on this thread and was interested to check when. Reading old posts, I found this Kenzian prophecy...

"And the Dacora. I cant find out much about it other than it's the 3rd or 4th incarnation from about 1960.This one seems to be a pretty basic workhorse. I don't think its value is any more than £10-£15 and once ebay and paypal take their cut, it's hardly worth selling. I'll see what the images are like. If they're half-decent, I'll probably keep it."

"Just keep it. You will end up like me with two crates of cameras!"

How right you were and 2 crates it is.

I too have been reading back through the thread. Only thing is, I am now up to four crates and counting! Did you go for the lens in the end? I am trying to have another go at the Bessa. Just patching the light leaks in the bellows. Just need to colimate now and give it a try.

I emailed about the lens and it's still available. Will probably go for it and pick up at the weekend.

Can't complain for a tenner. I tried the shpock app. Wish I hadn't!

I had a look at shpock too. Fortunately, nothing of interest around here.
BTW, do you still want me to pick up AD2 mounts?

Kenzie · 22-02-17, 09:34 AM

If you are over that way. Don't need a Nikon one now though. Just Pentax and MD.

Might go down tonight or tomorrow. I'll pick up if he has them.

Edit: Got you one of each. Busy at work tomorrow but will be able to get to the post office on Friday.

Nice one. What do I owe you? How are you getting on with your OMD buy the way?

It's a swap for the Yashica lens. I can post them first class tomorrow so hopefully arrive Saturday. PM me your home address.
I haven't used the OMD apart from playing about a bit and trying to suss out the settings. I'm planning to get out on Sunday and will take the OMD and a film camera - maybe a Yashica or the Zorki.

Cheers Yoko. Have sent you a pm.The X700 is still dead, and I am wondering if its the capacitor under the top plate.
