larrydressler Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I received a box of "junk" from my former wife. She said "all this must be your's so here it is." Well only one of the cameras in the box was one of mine and all the others are just gifts I figure. Some times it pays to stay nice with your former spouse.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 Here is anothe one in the box this one has the full case with it but the meter seems dead. The shutter fires so I wonder what speed it is?<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrydressler Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 OK this is the lastone for now the rest need a good outer cleaning. This one has the origional lens cap and it responds to light it matched my hand held meter so I think it is right on. it also had a roll of some store brand film in it process c-22 so I my try and dev it in Diafine or hc-110 when I get the time.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phisc Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Larry, that's a nice present; there are some nice cameras in your "junk" box. I'm a fan of other people's film, too -- I hope you'll post some of the images from that found C22 roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 Philip Thank you wait until you see the rest of these Junk cameras. One is a Fed2 that someone painted to look like the Ukrain flag and the shutter speeds seem to be close not to mention the rangefinder seems close. If anything I can mount it on the wall and use it to scare my grand children. This was also in the box a wonderful and working Sears AF point and shoot with adjustable film speed settings it works on 2 double A bats and I already ran 5 shots of film through it and it seems to work. We shall see.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygzr Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I have a Petri 7 around here somewhere. It's got a very nice lens. The meter is useless but the shutter speeds are very close. Its a very usable camera! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 Anotherone in the box it has a perfect case. I think it was used well and often due to the finger wear and it was never in the case because the case looks brand new. All shutter speeds seem to be working and apatuture blades show no sign of oil. The lens is totaly clear with no spots inside. Although I wonder if it was radioactive because it is yellow. Just like a Takumar Rare earth lens.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 Last one for tonight. there were even a box of blue flash bulbs in the box that fit this flash. it seems that it takes both 620 and 120 film because there was a 120 take up spool on the wind side.

al_kaplan1 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I've got a former wife in the antique business and we're still good friends. Whenever she runs into cameras at an estate sale she calls. We've made some great buys and sold stuff on Ebay. I've gotten a couple Of Leica M bodies and lenses for myself essentially for free out of one deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
