Charles_Webster Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I'm sure it's nice, but your photos are too large for me to appreciate. Next time please make them a more manageable size. <Chas> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miha_steinb_cher Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Charles, sorry. I've obviously got spoiled by my new monitor. Promise to behave better next time! Best regards, Miha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_e_daly Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 That's a beautiful-looking camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_e_daly Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 You know, I only have experience of a few Soviet vintage cameras and never really looked at an Exakta before. It's really nice, and I can now see myself looking obsessively for one. Dammit :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_baker6 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Nice color choice for the recover. I have that same Pancolar lens on an Exakta VX1000 and it does well. Tons of stuff available for these. Evidently they were quite popular with the scientific/medical community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_bellayr Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I agree with the previous comments. It seems like a very pretty camera but photos are too large for proper appreciation. Maybe, when you have time you will resubmit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_lockerbie Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I lke your large pictures, gives me a good look at your very pretty camera. What's the lens on the first shot, looks impressive! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_kaplan1 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Exactas were "backwards", left hand wind and release. For most people they were difficult to get used to, but the medical and scientific community used them frequently mounted on microscopes or on a copy stand with a macro lens. In that position they effectively were right handed cameras. The ease of switching to a waist level or high magnification "chimney" finder made for convenient viewing in this position. There was also a a variety of easily interchanged focussing screens, including a clear center spot with a crosshair, easily the most accurate screet for ultra high magnifications.

james_baker6 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Just for fun I set my VX1000 up on a tripod with a strange 500mm f/8 preset tele lens ("Optica" brand ???)and the pic's actually were quite good !!!! The camera is heavy and makes a hell of a racket when the shutter fires (and that's after a CLA) but it is kind of addicting to use once you get used to using your left hand a lot more. It would a good camera to use with one of those old "gunstock" units they used to sell that had a trigger type cable release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
