Camera Talk

Thanks for the comiseration Yes, that was Teletortuga, channel 6 when I was a Kid. The house was originally the Piedrahita family house, they owned all that land and until the mid 1950s it was still agricultural (casa de hacienda) . You can see it in the right corner in this pic from 1968 (by my dad...

Yes, I was walking around the park that you see with 2 friends, and wanted to take pics of that house (used to be Channel 6) not 5 minutes later 2 guys in a scooter flew by us and took the camera That used to be a very quiet part of town, and there is a police post not 200m from this house. I guess ...

I managed to take a roll with a Yashica 124G before it was stolen from my hands.
Took me a while to develop and scan it

Update: The Retina II like Julio said is a nice camera, solid silent and the RF is nice.
I think it's a bit better than the Silette (same ballpark)
I'll develop the pics sometime soon.

You are a bad bad influence! i've never had a Retina; but you pushed me to buy one at evilB for peanuts (type011 with 2.0 Xenon) Nice camera, solid and will have to check the film transport and frame counter after my vacation The front barely opens when the button is pressed but shutter seems to be ...

Those look great!!!

I admit I have a problem!

Karomat Xenar
Karomat Solinar

I' dont own one but it seems like one of the springs that pushes the door is faulty.
I think those should be flat springs?

At least it opens and closes smoothly

While working on a Karomat I made the mistake of removing the big brass screw that holds the RF-lever
It can come lose over time, so remember to add threadlocker to it during reassembly

I added some notes to supplement PFM pictures
