<p>They were asking momma if I was OK.</p><div></div>

I have seen Automatic 66's in good

condition go for $1,000 to $1,500. One

unused in the original box I can't even

imagine. You might try sending Jurgen

at certo6.com a message as I think he

has bought and sold a couple of them.

<p>Wish I could help but lucky for me mine has never needed any repairs. I just took a look at mine and it has me stumped. The large ring with spanner slots on the back of the lensboard turns with the focus. The four surrounding screws look like they might let the entire lens/helical assembly come off maybe then you could see what is going on.<br>

The usual Speedex/Isolette is so simple and easy to work on but these are a whole different breed.<br>

Good luck with it you will love it when you get it working. Mine can easily compete with any of my TLR's (but I don't have one with a Planar or Xenotar) for image quality.<br>

Maybe try over at RFF I know a few of those guys have Supers and have probably been into them.</p>

<p>I can add a Ciro-Flex from Delaware Ohio.</p>

Ansco Super Regent & Ansco Super Speedex</p>

<p>I can't say for sure from the picture, but it does look a lot (especially the shape of the lens standard) like my Ansco No. 3 Folding Buster Brown. On the inside it has patent dates of 1910, 1912 & 1918. If you cant find a picture of one on the web let me know and I will try and get one posted.</p>

<p>You might want to check out the Crumplers. I had one they call a "4-Million Dollar Home". Very well made, but I stopped carrying it because everyone thought it was a purse.</p>

You could also try this.

Many of the newer Epson's, maybe all of the R series not sure, print directly on the disc.

There are at least three versions from Franka marked Solida II.<div></div>

Breathe Zane breathe, maybe then you'll stop turning purple.

This is really easy for me to answer. If I had a Rolleiflex I'm sure that would be it but since I don't it would have to be my Ansco Super Speedex, easily the winner among three or four dozen classic's.

I happen to have both. While the Ikonta is definitely much more solid (especially the bellows) I like the images from the Zenobia much better. My Zenobia has the Neo-Hesper lens, a four element tessar copy made in the fifties which is well coated. My Ikinta A is a pre war uncoated Tessar, while they are both very sharp it's no surprise that the Zenobia has better contrast and makes a lot snappier images. I've posted a few Zenobia pic's <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/presentation?presentation_id=288091">here</a> and if you do a search for past postings from C.E. Nelson he has done quite a bit with his Zenobia.

I mean to go with the equipment I've already got.

Only thing I am still looking for is some skill/talent to go with what I've already got.

Todd..<p>I've had a C33 for about 20 years. I have the chrome 80mm and the black 55mm. The black lenses are newer and just a tad sharper but not much. She sounds like a meat grinder with a bone stuck in it when you wind her (definitely not a Rolleiflex) but I've probably put 6 or 7 hundred rolls through it without a problem.<p><a href="http://www.photo.net/photo/2454671&size=lg">This shot here</a> is about 15 years old with the 80mm. The one below was a few weeks ago with the 80 also.<p>They are great for macro work. You will definitely need what Mamiya called a Paramender, goes between the camera and the tripod, focus and compose then turn the lever and it jacks the camera up so the taking lens is where the viewing lens was. If I can find a macro shot here somewher I'll post it also.<div></div>

What Glenn said. It aint just the camera, I can do a lot worse with modern glass.
