Ive had my Beseler Topcon Super D (RE) for 12 years. Perfect condition and so old that it still had mercury batteries from the 60s when i got it in a free auction. The only reason I've never used it is because....The extreme crazy lens it has (and my cheapness to buy one on ebay). i have fiddled with it for years, scoured the internet for answers.
But if anyone, someone, could help my 12 years of searching, please.
Specs: Macro Topcor 1:3.5 f=5.8cm ...(Tokyo kogaku japan 1010220)
The lens....mount...can come apart in half and has a 'clamp' which i still havent figured out, as well as very large bellows. stupid heavy and inconvenient especially for the purpose this camera was made, to shoot the war.
Rare?? Unique topcor lens. Help
in Extreme, Retro, Instant and More
