Any Classic Camera owners here?
As per subject, anyone else into classic cameras?
And by classic I mean pre-1970 at the latest.

I have an old Linhof 5" x 4" Camera and a old 6 x 6 Hasselblad.
If I looked in Loft might still be an old Leica 35mm somewhere. None of which are now used. |

I have some old fold-away medium format cameras, not sure on the makes. They were used by my grandfather during world war 2 so I guess they must be around 1950 or older. There's some interesting photos in his albums too.
I'll see if I can find the makes of them later.

My dad has a Contaflex from around the late 50s I think, in a lovely case that seemed to be made of brown leather about an inch thick!!. I think its in relatively okay condition but the shutter was starting to stick so he then moved to a...
Rolleiflex (West German?) in around 1973, Aluminium body and seems to be built like a tank. Used for some years until... He went Japanese and Bought a Pentax ME Super, my own favourite and still a great SLR, if a tad old fashioned these days (What, you have to put film in it???). Loads of bits for it too. |

I have a 1960s Topcon along with some German Exacta lens that fit the Topcon. It's a great education into photography, learning how to use the Gossen light meter and convert that to F-stops and shutter speeds. The only electrics are the wires that go to the flash hot-shoe!

Well as starter of this thread I should admit what I've got then...
An (Exakta) Exa II, circa 1962 and a Praktica Super TL, circa 1969 complete with Zeiss Tessar lens. I like to put at least one film a year through the Exa. It's a great way of bringing your photography right back to basics.
