I've found that 'Brasso' (impregnated wadding for polishing metal) also removes sticky label glue - even if the residue is decades old.

wlaidlaw Posted September 10, 2021 Share #323 Posted September 10, 2021 For cleaning satin chrome on old Leicas/Contax etc, I have found an artist's eraser (the one that looks like brown toffee) works very well. Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFM Posted September 25, 2021 Share #325 Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) I was gifted a Lordomat C35 with the Lordon 2.8/50 some years back which was an interesting camera possessing of a screw-breech lens mount. It was a bit wobbly in the film transportation, and a little unwieldy so I went after the regular Lordomat. It was in much better shape, with a better viewfinder than the C35 which then led me to expand the outfit with the Schacht-Travenar 3.5/35, 4/90, and 4/135 plus the 35mm Finder with 90mm mask. It took a good nine months of searching to come up with all those lenses. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! It was a pretty good outfit, but both cameras had their issues, and I was in pursuit of a more user model of camera with better construction. I probably should have held on to them, or sold them on to someone else as the lenses were outstanding, but instead the whole bunch was donated to the Camera Heritage Museum in Staunton, VA. Images from a test roll can be found by clicking on the photo above, then locating the link to the album.

Pyrogallol Posted September 30, 2021 Share #326 Posted September 30, 2021 Last night I received a Corfield Periflex as a gift. It seems to be in running order and has a few accessories including a rightangled attachment to fit on top of the periscope finder, which I imagine could be a difficult item to find if you wanted one.

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! yours sincerely Thomas Thanks for posting that snap, Thomas; that's the very first time I've seen a photograph of one! I first read about it in the 1979 edition of the Focal Press guide to the Nikon F (p.19) where it was illustrated by a very simplified line drawing and the description wasn't much more detailed! A couple of years later there was a fairly detailed description of its design parameters and its workings but no accompanying picture. Sometime in the intervening years it became disconnected from my memory completely. Very Cool Accessory! Does it work? I still have several F photomic finders of varying types lying around but, sadly, they all gave up the ghost some time ago. Philip.

thomas_schertel Posted October 14, 2021 Share #334 Posted October 14, 2021 Hello Philipp, the light meter does work and, as far I see, correctly. The camera looks better with this accessory, as with the huge Photomic. Thomas 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
seekwhence Posted October 14, 2021 Share #335 Posted October 14, 2021 Below are some interesting 35mm cameras; contemporary with early Leicas and probably their equal in functionality and quality. One is a Krauss Peggy Norm from 1931 with a Zeiss Tessar 3.5/5cm lens. The other is a later Peggy Model II (1936) with rangefinder and a rare (for this camera) Zeiss Biotar 2/4.5cm.

wlaidlaw Posted October 15, 2021 Share #337 Posted October 15, 2021 The Robots were used as the tail camera in JU87 dive bombers, to assess the effectiveness of the bombing. Leica 250 GG reporters with a 24V motor drive were often used as the belly camera to assess accuracy. Whereas the Leica had to be switched on manually, the Robot had an automatic switch triggered by G levels, as the pilot often would black out from the G levels on the pull out from the dive. The aircraft had an automatic pull out device, as the early models without it, had a high accident incidence, due to the pilot being unconscious.

Pyrogallol Posted October 15, 2021 Share #338 Posted October 15, 2021 I have a 1941 doublewind Robot 2, no military markings but the ever-ready-case is metal reinforced under the leather. I was told the story of a Robot given to the collector by a retired war time bomb disposal officer. It was found hanging in an abandoned German military vehicle, booby trapped !

willeica Posted October 20, 2021 Share #339 Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Pre-War Russian FED 50mm f3.5 Macro lens on M10 Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Quick test example of close up shot taken with the lens. The lens is uncoupled so I used the back screen to focus. I am sure that on a tripod and with better eyes and a steadier hand that something much sharper could be achieved. The lens also produces nice images at normal distances, will post some later. There was some cloudiness, easily fixed in Lightroom This lens and the other lenses in the lot I bought are beautifully made. The 100mm f 6.3 and 50mm f2 lenses in the set are comparable with contemporary Leitz lenses and may even be better. They have a lot of brass in their construction and compare very well in that regard to Leitz lenses of the same period. Leitz had nothing like this in the late 1930s. The lens is similar in many ways to the Micro-Nikkors which came 30 years later. The Macro lens is described here. http://www.sovietcams.com/index4971.html?tmpl_into=middle&tmpl_id=558&_m_e_id=5&_menu_i_id=534 My one is the PT 5620, I believe.

willeica Posted October 20, 2021 Share #340 Posted October 20, 2021 Some examples of photos taken with the FED Macro lens (see my previous post above) at normal distances. I believe this is a lens with real character. The Soviet lens designers of the late 1930s knew how to make lenses with advanced features and good build quality, which could produce nice image quality. Welcome, dear visitor!
