Camera Porn Friday

[GrahamS]

Both are real classics and worth keeping in any collection. Good find.

[Bennybee]

Both are great cameras. Looks like you did far more than just cleaning on the Contaflex...

Naked Rolleiflex, pure camera porn.

it’s not Friday here but almost.

I don't know why, but I'm drawn to the Ikoflexes.

Going to try a roll in the little Nikon FG. I like the handling of this camera!

[Julio1fer]

The Contessa is back from the tech. Test roll went well enough, post pending.





Alas, the Contaflex was not recoverable.

Beautiful Mk2 Contessa!! does it have the M-X switch and the self timer?
It is a beautiful camera, nice to use.
It feels a bit out of time for the 21st century but bring back the joy and magic of what we love

[Julio1fer]

It does have the synchro switch, but I can find no self timer, and it is not mentioned in the manual (all glory and a donation be given to Butkus)

Indeed, it is much easier to use than what it seems at first sight.

[titrisol]

If it has the Synchro-Compur it must have the M-X switch for flash
Some of those have a V next to M and X and that is the self timer
I guess the number of shutter variations are much larger than reported

Mine is a W serial number and has a Compur-Rapid (1-500) and only X flash sync
What I see now that I look at yours, is that the cable release is in the opposite side (180 degrees).
Mine has it where the MX switch is.

That looks lovely!
