anscoflex II

I have a Anscoflex II camera and have no idea what to do with it. I don't

know how it works or if it's worth learning. Can anyone tell me about this

camera?

If it's good enough for Gene, it must be worth having. But you will have to get 620 film.

Check www.butkus.org for a manual.

Personally, I get more out of just looking at that camera rather than looking at the photos that it takes.

That's because you suck.

i have an anscoflex II also, i havent used it yet, but in the near future im going to.

Everyone should try one of these cameras. They make you feel good, they make you look good, and they build character too.

As someone else mentioned, you can find the manual <a href="http://www.butkus.org/chinon/ansco/anscoflex_ii/anscoflex_ii.htm">here</a>.

I just picked one of these up at an auction, along with an Argus C3 and a bunch of other cameras for $5.

There was film in the Anscoflex II. It says Kodak on the ends of the spool and says "Panchromatic exposed; Made in Belgium" on the tape (looks like the one <a href="http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00BuCi">here</a>). I wound it all the way up before opening the case. Any chance it's still good to be developed? And if so, can anyone recommend a good mail-order lab that could handle it? My local Ritz camera won't hardly bother with film...

The spool came from the the roll of film previously used in that camera. In a roll film camera, the feed spool is moved over to the take-up side before loading the next roll. Kodak film was used before the "Made in Belgium" film.

 

However, I don't know what the "Made in Belgium" film might be.

Thanks, Paul. I thought that might be the case with the spools. I think I am going to send the film out to Film Rescue and see if anything is on it. :)
