matt_melton Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Post a question? Honestly I love this camera and just want to show pictures. I love the way old lenses make old-looking pictures. Okay, I have a question too. How many people keep the leather cases on these old folders when they use them? They're such a pain in the ass.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelging Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Matt, nice photos , I especially like the flowers. I take my Supr Ikonta out of the case what I am going to be using it for a while. The case is a pain to use, but does give a certain ammount of protection. These are great cameras in almost every other way . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xenotar28 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I keep all my classics out of their leather cases. Many of the cases have become magnets for mold through deterioration and bad storage. I do give them a good saddle soaping and light mink oiling, but still keep everything separate. If I ever get to use my equipment again, then a small, padded nylon bag with space for film will do. Also, many of the oldies seem to develop chrome rub offs when kept in their leathers. Just one guy's opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenotar28 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Matt, Very nice work. I wrote my original answer while you were still posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mskovacs Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Nice shots - made by one of the best folders ever made. Too bad its a little on the large side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacsa Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 My ZISI does not have strap lugs so I keep the leather case on it whenever I need to carry it around on my shoulders... It only gets in the way when I have to change film, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancy_bueler Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Very nice shots, Matt. My favourite is the deserted playground; has an apocalyptic feel about it. I hope to post some photos from my 521/16 soon, if any of them turn out. My first attempt was awful, hopefully my second attempt turns out better. I don't like the leather cases either.

roseberry guitars Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hello Matt, The first (flowers) photo is my favorite. Nicely done. I love the look to the older lenses also. The only cases I use are on my Contina and Nettar 515 (I don't store them their cases. I only put the case on when I go out taking photos). The Contina because it is spotless and I hope to keep it that way as long as I can (Vanity...I know!) and the Nettar 515 because the case is a pouch type and the camera slips in and out very quickly and makes the camera easy to carry. Besides the shoulder straps are beautiful, long, brown leather and can be slung across my body nicely. Then I look cool. Image is everything ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furcafe Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Nice pix. As w/my old 35mm cameras, I never use the leather cases for my 120 folders (but keep 'em in storage in case I ever decide to sell a camera). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_melton Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 Thanks all for your answers (and kind words). My Ikonta's case was actually ripped apart by ape-like airport security inspectors who couldn't figure out how to open it. They check your checked bags when you're not looking nowadays. Beware packing anything valuable. They will break it and leave a note saying they aren't liable for damage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
