Zeiss Piccolette- Contessa


Recommended Posts

Rainy-day project to breath new life into my CN Piccolette ? But without hacking it up ? Maybe.

 

This little folding gem was the first "real" camera I had as a young lad. It was given to me by my Uncle Laszlo (László Bácsi) and he taught me the fundamentals of f/stops and shutter speeds with it.

 

Thanks , Chuck, for stirring some fond memories.

Nice project. Would love to have seen what attachment you had used to mount the camera on your DSLR. The Zeiss lenses are excellent but I always feel that these old beauties produce magic for the big 6x6 ot 6x9 negatives.

Thanks for looking!

 

Koz: It probably was invasive, but it's still being "used" to make pictures.Not like making a doorstop!

Mike: Love it!

Gabor: If you have one: ..umms let's see it ..in action?

Andy: I'm sure this is doing double duty!!

Starvy: Indeed! Can't get enough of those big negs.
