<p>I would like to offer you, my extended family, all those items in the picture. All for free can go to one home or several homes. First ones to post here get what they want.<br /> 1) Rolleicord II case. Good shape but might need some work <br /> 2) Kodak 3A Shutter/ Lens - working, but 1/25 is more like 1/100<br /> 3) Vivitar closeup filters<br /> 4) Kodak Stepup ring<br /> 5)Ednalite Filter adapter<br /> 6) Kodak Wratten Filter.<br /> I need to make room for more cameras and these need to go.</p><div></div>

<p>Rick, This is a one handsome looking camera, that's for sure. Those Germans sure know/ knew how to make fine product and results you've presented are very nice as always. Given the amount of posts by you, I do have a question. Do you post as you acquire new cameras, or do you dig through your vast collection and think "Hmm, today I will amaze P- netters with XYZ model" How do you do it. I have about 60 cameras in my collection, some are just simple box cameras with meniscus lenses that probably don't deserve their own posts, but I do have some that deserve some more attention. I sometimes sit on one for a while before I create a post, but sometimes I just run some film through it, gather some info and post. How about you.</p>

<p>Mike, I too use Unicolor C41 press kit. It works good for my needs and once mixed I store it up to 6 months in black air tight bottles with - no issues so far. Some sites recommend extending developing times once you want to process more than 8 rolls. I usually dump the whole shebang after 8 and mix fresh batch. It's cheap enough. Nice shot of a bike shop.</p>

<p>Shiver me timbers, Allan. That E still works? Is it battery or selenium cell powered?</p>

<blockquote> <p>Kid's nowadays surprised not to see their pics in an lcd screen at the back of a film camera.........</p> </blockquote> <p>My 2 year old and 4 years old know that when daddy takes shots with his cameras there is nothing to see, but when mom does they run to check out the LCD. My daughter does like to look through TLR's chimney to see the reversed images. </p>

<p>This is one good looking camera. I too own Nikon F and consider it one of the finest of my camera collection. Lovely shots too, Tony. If I may, do you use OEM holder with your V700, or do you use ANR glass? The sharpness is just superb.</p>

<p>1932 Rolleiflex 620. There were only 5000 made.</p><div></div>

<p>Gene helped me develop old ISOPAN 25 from 1940s few images on it, but it was fun. Great guy.</p>

<p>Daniel, First of all $80 for a 635 with the 35 mm kit is a steal. I got mine, without the kit, for 120 bucks, at least it was/is working condition. I have not seen, nor wanted to really look, results from 635 with 35mm kit mounted. What I find interesting about these three element lenses is that they produce this whirl wide open, kinda as if the universe would about to collapse. Off all my Yashica TLRs, the 635 is my favourite, sure I'm part Magpie, so I love shiny things. Anyways, nice post and some nice results.</p>

<p>Nice stuff. How come there aren't estate sales loaded with nice gear like you got? For 150 I think it's a steal not a purchase. Anyways, neat results you posted here. I personally like the napping cat shot. It reminds me of lazy Summer Sunday- just relaxing in rays of warm sunlight.</p>

<p>Here's one I like from 1916. This lady is either doing an early version of selfie or she's checking out the shutter mechanism - like I do, sometimes.</p><div></div>

<blockquote> <p>What I've always found Kodak ads to be remarkable for - dating back to before the Chicago World's Fair/Columbian Exposition of the 1890s era - is the equal appeal to both women and men. And the Kodak ads were never condescending toward women and didn't idealize or romanticize them, or limit them to roles of nude models or Moms With Cameras. The illustrations and ad copy were usually very neutral.<br> It wasn't until decades later, especially the 1950s-'60s, that American advertisers became blatantly condescending and sexist toward women, depicting young women as too air-headed to operate a "complicated" camera, and apparently dressed only in bikinis and miniskirts (or only nekkid for Miranda fans), or wearing mom-clothes while looking after kids.</p> </blockquote> <p>Amen brother. That's exactly how I thought when I looked at some of the Kodak adds from early 1900s.</p>

<p>I'm told by the seller that the camera belonged to a lady out of Towanda, Pennsylvania. two small lakes there almost like the one in the saved shot.</p>

<p>Odd looking lens and odd focal range, but despite its looks, it preforms quite well. It also pairs up nicely with that Exacta. Thank you for sharing.</p>

<p>I happen to like the "brassy" wear spots on my Nikkormat. It add to the character such as saying "Yeah! I get out to shoot" Also the brass coexists very nicely with black finish.</p>

8.5 turns would work a bit better I must try it next time.

<p>Ok guys nice way to lure me into digging deeper :-)<br> Thanks. I will post this shot to social media and see what happens. </p>
