ogrove Posted March 17, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 17, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) In the 1970/80s Wild company made aerial cameras I have 6 in my collection along with 6 Zeiss Ikon models plus the viewfinders mounting frames etc all up about 2 ton of equipment .Wild is now a part of Leica and still make aerial cameras . The Zeiss Ikon RMK60 / 23 in the photo with the M8.2 on was that good at 6000 ft flying at 200+mph when doing photographic surveys it was possible not only see the telegraph wires but also the shadow they cast on the ground this was built 1965 .All the wild /Leica ones are safarie green .the negative size was 23cmx23cm and each magazine held 200+ exposures .I have a complete collection of all earial cameras used by a earial mapping company from 1935-1990 used until digital took over,is there any other forum members with these cameras? .
