Re: Vintage film cameras
I like that one, are you going to bid? I have unloaded the Perkeo and transferred the film over to the Yashica-Mat.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Not sure, there is another one starting at £15 with one bid but also extras, ends Sunday, in Derby. I emailed them and they've confirmed the struts and shutter are fine - most sellers don't bother to update their ads with good info.
Apparently the problem with Epsilon shutters is that the cokking lever, I think when it returns, whacks teh escapement body and eventually distorts it, so problems starting with sticking slow speeds and eventually it jams. The 99p one above says sticking so could be more than just a clean-up job. Read nothing but good things about the Xpres lens though. Will try to snipe it. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Kenzie, if you can find something in your screw collection, I need one to go through a hole of about 1.5mm. screw or tiny bolt would do, maybe around 5mm long.
If you ever get your hands on a 35 RC, don't even think about removing the screw that holds the battery contact. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
My God there are some rough ones around! I think a triplet like a Novar is fine for up to 6x6 but 6x9 is so big that you get a lot of vignetting in the corners without something a bit fancier like a Tessar. I think that's also the reason a lot of the triplets on 6x9 are f6.3 or slower, you'd get nothing useful if you could put them wider.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Second one has a Helomar lens which is a cheap triplet. Had seen the first and thought it was a 6x6 but is actually 6x9. Not sure which lens it has

Re: Vintage film cameras
My Duo 620 from Rocky is on the way. I had completely forgotten about it. Did anyone else grab anything from Rocky? Yoko, where did you send the T50? I forgot to say I changed stores, its not a problem though.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Nah, I'd really only trust his stuff in the flesh I think, but if work takes me down that way I'll stop by and kick the tyres
