Show us your old camera(s)

Those Rollei 35's are great cameras. My mom had one I was able to use as a teenager quite a bit. Unfortunately her house was broken in to and was stolen 15 years ago. I'd love to find another one for her.

It's definitely worth looking at E-Bay if you're thinking of purchasing a Rollei 35 - there's a really active market for all models from the later 35LED (less collectible and therefore cheaper), to the cult 35SE (which has the best lens), or one of the limited edition models in silver, gold or platinum, or even one covered in exotic red or blue lizard skin...!

This camera belonged to my father and I believe he purchased it in 1958 (Sn: Q 28902). It is still fully operational and produces lovely 6x6 images.

Nice! This looks like it would be fun to shoot.

It is indeed fun to shoot with this camera, however you have to be patient. There are a lot of knobs and dails, there is nothing automatic and... you have to get used to seeing your subject upside down and mirrored.

I posted a sample image here (covered nude):

Here's a collection of old cameras a friend of mine owns. Always fun to look at.

Herewith my Contax IIIA circa 1950s. It was beautifully machined and put together. The camera felt as solid as a brick.

I was expecting others to have more of these babies.

This is my 15mm F3.5 Minox B
...complete with German-made Complan lens which yields such extreme depth of field that it has no use for f-stops! The slightly spherical curved design of the film gate gives the film ample defenition making an adjustable lense diaphrame unecissary. These things were first released in Germany in 1958.

It has two built in filters (grey-neutral density, and green), a built in light meter, and a flash unit port. The landmark 15mm Complan lens is fully color corrected, and has an anti-reflection coating which makes it better for color photography.

This little camera was given to me by my uncle a few years ago and I've been meaning to order some 9.5mm film. My uncle had used it all thoughout his life and it actually takes very good pictures for such a small camera lens. He had to send every roll of film to germany (and then new york) in order for it to be developed. The two pics in the picture were pictures he took in Greece in 1971.

Heres a link of the actual Minox manual http://www.butkus.org …inox_b/minox_b-splash.htm

This is my Minox C which I always wanted because it was the ultimate spy camera. I got it secondhand but it was very clean with no scratches or knocks. I vaguely remember how expensive the first process and print was and I guess I stopped using it witnessed by the unopened films.

I used to have one of those. I have no idea where is might be now.
