jaques Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share #21 Posted December 27, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ok there are a few more mystery items in my trove. There are around 7 variants of what I assume is always called the 'focoslide' with a variety of accessories. Most of these devices are similar in form (rectangular)- except for this one which is quite different (circular). Does anyone know what this one is called? Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Hi jaques, Take a look here the 'whatthehell' archives... ablon and friends. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaques Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share #22 Posted December 27, 2010 the next item is a complete mystery to me... from a projector perhaps? I wouldn't know it was Leitz except for the bag it was in: Welcome, dear visitor!

jaques Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share #23 Posted December 27, 2010 There is another item I cannot find information on. I am guessing it is a projector lens, but searching on the net I can't find images of any other that looks like this one. It is a 50mm Elmaron f2.8 lens. It has three prongs on the front which I am going to assume are for focusing... Welcome, dear visitor!

I wouldn't know it was Leitz except for the bag it was in: This a part of an enlarger, where the film is pressed by the condensor lens the window is rather small, for MINOX format ? but the 14051 ref sticker is for a M lens rear cap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it is a projector lens for short distance or small format as the lens is deep in the projector body it will need this 3 prongs to adjust the focusing.

jaques Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share #27 Posted December 30, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thankyou very much JC - I have another item for the team- a long exposure timer. It fits on my IIIc perfectly. I searched around and found similar ones but not this exact model. Does it have a code name? This thread could become a good resource for people trying to identify random Leitz ware. If anyone else has a 'mystery object' fell free to post it in the archive. Welcome, dear visitor!

jc_braconi Posted December 30, 2010 Share #28 Posted December 30, 2010 Does it have a code name? Absolutely : HEBOO This a delayed action or self timer item not for long exposure by itself it comes before the APDOO (I&II). You can find a lot of articles here : LEICA HISTORICA the HEBOO is on the Leica IC page the APDOO on the Leica II page. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted June 10, 2013 Share #29 Posted June 10, 2013 Allow me please to restart this thread. When jc_braconi says a HEBOO is a self-timer and not for long exposures, I believe it. Though I learned just today it is not right: It is a "Hemmwerk" for the slow exposure times for cameras which don't have them (Leica I, II, Standard, Ic, If etc). It is clearly described as such in Lager III, p.82, and also on the photo shown here and on Jc's website you see the engraved numbers for slow times. I don't think you also can use it for delayed shutter release as a self timer, or can you as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted June 10, 2013 Share #30 Posted June 10, 2013 Right...HEBOO is for Leicas without slow times.... you can see the times 1 2 4 8 (to be read as 1 sec 1/2 sec etc.) engraved on its front. See also our Wiki section. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitz Posted June 10, 2013 Share #31 Posted June 10, 2013 and here is an unexplained bracket of some sort.... R system? The brackets are UWOOS. They are used to convert the Valoy II into a copy stand using a Focorapid-type attachment. The double column Reprovit I (ROODE) also uses this part. The single column Reprovit I (ROOSE) uses a different arm, not requiring the UWOOS. Laney p448. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to control if it works also as a a delayed action, as it was looking when I dismounted it for CLA.

nikonosguy Posted June 26, 2013 Share #33 Posted June 26, 2013 This is the BLISE baseplate for the BLITZ flashgun (model VII, circa 1941). Lager illustrates all bases variants on pages 248-251 of his "Illustrated History - Volume III - Accessories". also seen selsy as a code --- i have one of these sitting in my box ---- if i used an old leica flash, i might use the baseplate- --- are they worth anything more than a standard ii / iii baseplate? if someone NEEDS this for their colection - let me know- -- mine is just sitting here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pecole Posted June 27, 2013 Share #34 Posted June 27, 2013 I just came across a large trove of vintage Leitz odds and ends. I am going to post some pictures here in the hopes that the sites learned experts can help me identify them. Let me thank these experts in advance First off the bat are some ABLON units: My question concerns the first of the three pictured. Is it called ABLON or does it have another name? Is it specific to particular camera models? The next two are more common and look the same. However there is a slight difference in the shape and I wonder if these also relate to different cameras? Look at the "Fontenelle archives 96" thread (just referred to hereunder) for details of the film trimming template associated with the Rondinax tank.

Pecole Posted June 27, 2013 Share #35 Posted June 27, 2013 The first ablon unit is not used for trimming the film to load the camera,but is used to trim the film leader to fit a vintage Leitz spiral loading developing tank. Not exactly ! It was not intended to be used with the "vintage Leitz spiral loading (?) developing tank" (REELO), but with the Leitz TAHOO or Leitz-Agfa TEOOH daylight developing tanks (see also Fontenelle Archives 96).

jaques Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share #36 Posted October 31, 2013 OK- I came across another trove of mystery Leitz items. I will post some more in a week or two but for now: This one looks like perhaps it is part of a bulk film loader? What does it bolt onto? Does it have a name? Xbleet, Outspo, Pnoxum or some such Leitz gibberish (which I like very much BTW)? Please excuse the poor photos (iphone)... Welcome, dear visitor!

luigi bertolotti Posted October 31, 2013 Share #37 Posted October 31, 2013 It's the device named AFLOO... some appear on ebay time to time : Leica/Leitz Filmaufspuler/AFLOO Film Winder in Original Box | eBay Welcome, dear visitor!

jaques Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share #38 Posted October 31, 2013 Thanks Luigi the one in the pic is slightly different. I assume that is done in a dark room... and one can bolt the AFLOO to a table so is easy to find and not lose in the dark. Nice. I will have to find something harder for you next time...

Yes, your item (as the ebay I linked) are clearly to be used vertically (or horizontally, fitted to a vertical bench)... the picture is from an old manual, in which the code of that device isn't quoted... it has the same basic mechanic, but looks to be made (maybe) in two parts... one to fit it on the horizontal darkroom bench... I'd be curios to find if it is another version or has a different code... is fun to search for such old details... Tha AFLOO was the development of a previous device with the same function (AFLOO was listed from 1935/36 to around 1960s) , the predecessor was coded as ASPUL (and... as with all the "early" codes, they tried to give an evocative code... "spool" "spule"... there was an agitator fro developing tank coded as AGITA... ) But the ASPUL was very similar in the detail of the mounting plate : Welcome, dear visitor!
