User_4525289 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 That could not be done w/o mutilation of the perfectly good Contessa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabor_szabo3 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Collins Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 <p>That's pretty amazing, but I could've found better use for that 5DII for sure!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starvy Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_foreman1 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 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.

ron_gratz Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 <p>I also have a Contessa Piccolette with Tessar lens and compur shutter. It's in great shape and since I can still get 127 film made by Efke it is still usable as it was designed to be.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
