Vintage film cameras

Lovely camera. The original version by the look of it.

All seems to function ok, just need to test it. I would say this has hardly been used at all. The seller buys lots at auctions and they come across a lot of cameras. Kodak Brownies end up in the bin usually. But this is a gem of a find. Kind of makes the XG-M I have seem redundant.

thought i would ask in here.


i need a new camera so was thinking of a bridge type as i want to use an adaptor ring with microscope lens to take pics of stylus diamonds as well as pretty pics of scenery etc.etc. has anyone done this idea and if so how good were the pics?



now before i go and buy something like this do any of you have a bridge camera for sale preferably a canon, ooohhh and its gota be cheep.

Hi Bibs, that adapter won't work with a bridge camera. You would need a dslr for that. It looks to be a T2 adapter but you would need a T2 mount adapter to whatever camera you are using. The adapter you linked to would screw into something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/T2-LENS-M...8AAOSwEaJeAIxR

lets take the PowerShot i posted in the link. would the adaptor ring fit onto the end of the lens or does the lens come off and the adaptor ring fit in its place, then i would put the micro adaptor ring on the adaptor ring.. lol

Lenses on Bridge cameras are fixed so no ball there. Maybe micro four thirds? Older Lumix G1s can be had pretty cheap.

Use this adapter from mft to your scope adapter https://www.ebay.co.uk/c/594003574

Picked up this retro looking Olympus Pen messenger bag off ebay, less than a tenner posted. Fits the camera with the 14-42 and 40-150 a treat.

You still hunting for a camera Bibio?

Nice, you just need a pair of Stan Smiths to match!

That went over my head so I had to Google that. Made me laugh. Would I need an Adidas tracksuit too? Just picked up a Pentacon similar to the recent one as a possible parts camera. Was listed as faulty/spares as the mirror is getting stuck after each shot. It's a non auto return mirror...
