I think you found a new buddy, or as Luis would say "girlfriend".

 

 

It is very amazing the quality that can be had from these little cameras that fold up and slip in your hip pocket. If

they are aligned properly and they are taken care of and lock up consistantly, they can produce equal quality to the

great 2x3 press cameras and the finest 6x6 TLR's that aren't so easy to carry around. If you have one of these great

folders in your pocket or glove box in the car, all the time, you will never be caught saying " I wish I had my

camera", "That would have made a great shot", " Did you see that, I wish I had a picture"...... In fact when I went

out with my big sheet film cameras, I always had a folder in my pocket too.

I think I see a Radionar triplet on your camera. Those are very nice lenses, but I have never been too happy with them using color. They don't seem to be corrected for chromatic aberrations too well. That's only my opinion. Anybody else find that to be the case?

[Andy Collins]

Mark, the quality of these pictures is excellent. I'm impressed with this little camera!

[craig_supplee]

Excellent sharp pics Mark. The one with all the cartons looks like a fire just waiting to happen.

 

I had the same camera, and had no issues with lens problems when shooting Fuji Velvia 100. Crisp and sharp. That is one camera I'm sorry I sold. Have fun with yours!

[gene m]

Yup.

ii had that exact model in the early 1950's.

the pc contact was wobbily and there was a grating noise when I advanced the film.

But I would buy one especially if I could find one with the f/3.5 lens that montgoimery ward sold for $39.95.

My younger brother got 2 new cars, all I got was a $29,95 camera.

( he wrecked them both) ( one at 200 miles on the clock)

Very nice pictures, Mark! I like your shutter better than mine. Your lens has nice "pop" too. Well done.

Nice pictures and tones Mark, good use of that 6x9 camera.

Thanks all! More photos from this new favorite camera soon!
