mskovacs Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 My Voigtlander AVUS dates from somewhere between 1914-1928, the production years of the dial set Compur. From the number on the Compur shutter, my best guess is 1925. If anyone has a database on Compur or Voigtlander lens serial numbers, drop me a line.

john_shriver Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Kodak Number 2 Folding Pocket Brownie Model B. With red bellows, manufactured sometime between 1907 and 1912. Meniscus lens, T/B/I shutter. Takes 120 film, but not a very sharp lens. After that it's a race between the 1A and 3A Autographic Kodaks. Sometime in the 1914 to 1924 time period. I've used both.

wigwam jones Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 6.5 x 9 Voigtlander AVUS. Not sure of the age, prolly something in the region of 1920's. Used a 1950's era rollfilm back so I could shoot with 120 roll film instead of a glass plate. Best, Wiggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miztli Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Balda Jubilette 1938, Nice little folder, can focus to 50cm. Donald provided me with the manual. Kodak Six-16 Improved, from the 30s not find yet year, with Compur shutter and Tessar type lens. I have used to make panoramic (2:1) pictures. Retinette 160 1939-41, Test not succesful yet, I am not sure if there is a ligh leak I cant find or really a lot of flare. Zeiss Ikon Super Ikomat C, I suppose very early, perhaps 1934. I really like this camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenn_thoreson Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Rochester Optical Premo B 4X5 from around 1896. I have only shot one sheet with it since cleaning it up, refinishing it and replacing the shutter with a newer (1910) Kodak Ball Bearing shutter. The one test shot was pretty amazing. Very sharp! The lens is a B&L Rapid Rectilinear. Original to the camera. A 4X5 self casing little dude that only weighs 36 ounces, with lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_fromm1 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Hmm. Most of my gear is post-WWII. But I do have a little Zeiss macro lens made, if the serial number to date table in the Vade Mecum is correct, in 1912. The view through it isn't bad, so I'll have to shoot it. Question is, when. And today I received a B&L-made (says so on it) Zeiss Kodak Anastigmat #4 F - 6.3. I b'lieve it is a Tessar IIb. Its serial number, 1733784, makes it pre-WWI too if the VM is to be believed. It passes light, forms an image, so I can't not use it. Again, the big question is when. Thinking of that #4, does anyone know what its focal length is? Crude measurement one got 7.5", slightly less crude measurement two got 7". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoresteen Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 1920's Korona 5x7 view. Recently sold the 305mm Schnider and I am looking for a couple of newer Fujinons for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochen_S Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Voigtlaender Bergheil 6.5x9cm folding view camera, at the moment borrowed by some friend. / Balda Rollbox. Both are frome the late 1920s. There's a 13x18cm fieldcamera on my to do list, but honestly I prefer coated lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen Selwa Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 1935 Zeiss Ikonta A with the Tessar. Absolutely incredible folder. Picked it up on eB*y for $35 in original condition. The image below was shot on Astia. I also own a 1920-ish pre-merger Ica Dresden 6x9 plate camera with a Rolfix roll film back that I haven't tested yet. <center> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/2315427-md.jpg"> </center> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
