Vintage film cameras - Page 41 - SV650.org

Funny enough I'm out doing some low light photographery with my Trip 35. Currently sitting at Landguard point shooting the cscl artic ocean. Second largest container ship at 400m long. The lens that came out of the GEr has the fungus inside the lens and its sealed. Will pop some Shots up tomorrow. Only paid £7 odd quid for the GA but I really wanted the GEr to work. Something seems stuck with the GA, no odea what though. Still confused by the auto m so its sat to one side. Loads of Yashica Ministers and Js on ebay. All with Copal Sv shutters.

They're all f2.8 though aren't they? Will have a look in a min. For all I know they share the same leaves but the info just isn't there.

Managed to free off the GA and in the middle of putting it back together, but the lens element is being a sod to screw back into its helical guide.

This is definitely more out there than anything you've already got. Google it, particularly how you select shutter speed. It was offered in its day with loads of add-ons.

Very tempting. I love 127 cameras, they are small, light and many funky designs but the film is so expensive and only black and white.

Got my eye on a couple of cameras. God help me when carboot seasons comes around again!

Am attempting to curb my enthusiasm. Though I did see a Vitomatic II on ebay last night for a few quid. And a Kiev, but I'd be worried about the curtains. But now there is a film in my Pentax MX I've found the flash sync isn't working, hopefully something I can fix with the film in, but it was working before. I've got enough repairs projects really, but if a folding Contessa came up...

Just spotted this though, item 301848843141 in fleabay. Best to ask if the meter works (needle on top plate but I think also in the viewfinder). It's a Contessamatic E so a rangefinder and the Tessar lens is very good.

Just had a look and sent them a message. Bidding on a Voigtlander Vito 2 35mm folder which finishes in an hour. Also want a Starflash 20 which is the 620 big brother of the Starmite 127.

Fingers crossed. They have a Polaroid as well!
