MTC Photography Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Manual focus by estimation no rangefinder, no auto focus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Thanks for sharing. Considering the compact size the camera has a full range of shutter speeds rather than a more abbreviated range that compact cameras often have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) Bolta Photavit camera with box with 1 Bolta Photavit film loader 5 Photavit cassettes( 2 inside camera) 1 close up attachment lens Camera lens: Schneider Kreuznach Radiona 1:3.5 37.5mm lens Pronto II shutter, T,B,1..200; 8 sec time delay control lever at bottom of shutter Film. perforated or unperformated 35mm film can be used, this version has NO sprocket drive. But in any even, paper backed 35mm film is out of question. The film must be loaded into special Photavit cassette. ( Paper back film never needs any cassette) Edited May 6, 2017 by MTC Photography 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 The eyepiece of viewfinder of Photavit is a small loup about f=20mm. This eyepiece is simply inserted into the square hole at back of viewfinder without any secure thread, hence easily drop out and lost. There are many Photoavit without eyepiece Easy lost Photavit eyepiece. One of my PHotavit had eyepiece, but was lost. Fortunately I found it under my laptop Now I use a minimum touch of white glue on the eyepiece, then insert it back into the viewfinder, thus, it should be more secure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
