i use the fomapan T-200 (120 format), i rate this film at 80 asa and i like this film, i saw on my last developed films (next to the negative numbers) ultra 200, the other films were marked with F pan T 200....

there were US troops in the netherlands, they were stationed in soesterberg

"I have shot my first slides, in 6x6. Now i'm in big trouble - can't find a slide viewer for it! Is there such a thing?"

just received the serielnumber of the camera; G84893

 

and the lensnumber is 2282493

hi richard and mike, both thanks for your information, the lensnumber is 2282493 and not coated, is this a collectorscamera or is it stll capable to work with it, (price of the camera 250 euro, as new and cla)

hi csab' józsa...

 

it is not the camera on marktplaats ( so go for it) and thanks for your information, i am specially interested in the period in wich the 531/2 camera's were fitted with the 'jena' glass, is this around 1950 or in a earlier period??

forgot... the lens is a tessar (carl zeiss jena tessar)

i can buy a super ikonta 531/2 camera with a 3.5/105mm zeiss jena

lens and compur rapid shutter, i have no serial number,

 

during wich period is this camera fabricated??

 

regards jelke

hi jukka,

 

i rate my classic pan 200 at 100 asa and develop it in rodinal 1+100, 20 minutes

 

try it....

very nice baby, I also don't think God had anything to do with it...

 

read this; lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steale: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven (matth 6:20-21)

does anybody knows what kind of finder this is and how to use it?? i

got it with a bessa II camera (i am not digital so i picked up the

photo from ebay)

so father, so son..............

hi csab'józsa, the world is very small............, it was one off my two kiev 2 camera's

mike, i have a kiev-2 (1953) and a kiev 4am (1983)

since a few months i am experimenting with kiev camera's, because i

am new with kiev i started reading articles on internet, it seems

that the older models (built before 1955) are the best built camera's

 

but are these older camera's also good enough for daily use, or is a

newer model kiev4 or kiev4-am (overhauled or serviced) as good as a

kiev 2 model??

just received a jupiter 3 lens bought on ebay from a russian seller, it took exactly 2 months before i got the lens..............i live in the netherlands, the lens was shipped on the day the seller got his money, so nicolas, don't give up

"there seems to be a strong, quality group of sellers" david can you give me some names??

sorry for misunderstanding, the front is identical, (the lens has a kiev contax mount) the glass is coated and the lens doesn't have clickstops

my lens is identical to the lens on the photo but it doesn't have the little red number

hi nicolas, thanks for your response; the lens has a white kiev logo

just bought a jupiter 8 lens with lens number 0252781, what is the

year of production? i always thougt that the first two numbers

indicate the year of production (lens is for a kiev 4 camera)

just received a kiev 2 camera from kassiapeya, the camera is as described, good communication +++ a very good ebayer+++

must i change the speeds before winding the shutter or after,

 

i just purchased a kiev 4 camera and with most russian 35mm cameras

it is advisable to wind the film (thereby cocking the shutter) before

selecting a new shutter speed, however some people advice to change

the speeds before winding the shutter...........

dear people, many thanks for your response, i believe your experts...........mike i also read your article about the kiev overhaul, i am new with kiev, zeiss and jupiter lenses,

 

i recently purchased a kiev 4-am camera (produced in 1984) and later i heard that all soviet cameras of 40th and 50th years had much better quality because of careful manual assembly and strict quality control,

 

is the 2/50mm sonnar as good as the 1,5/50mm sonnar?? i will choose between these two lenses, and won't spend my money on russian lenses

i'd like any info about the jupiter-3 1,5/50mm or zeiss sonnar opton

1,5/50mm lens good or bad from anyone with knowledge or preferably

experience with using one,

 

i have a kiev camera and i can buy one of these lenses
