Ambro51 Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share #342 Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Oh I’ve had great fun exploring the world of high quality “ HIT” type cameras from Japan. Yes the comic book toy cameras are just that....toys. They are all cheap copies of the two cameras that gave birth to these little cameras, the Jilona Midget and the Sanwa Mycro. They should carry lables that say “this is not a Toy!” ••••• indeed with adjustable aperature and shutter speed, multi element f 4.5 Coated Anastigmat 20mm fl lenses, good solid construction, they can and Do take remarkably good photos for a 14mm square Negative. ——- A ton of fun, low cost film shooting, and a Ton of Fun! 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! These are taken by the Jilona Midget Model III made in 1954. Film is unperforated Agfa ASP 400 S slit to 17.5 mm. This is used is 200 mm lengths on small paper backed rolls of 10 exposures. The house picture was shot at f 11. Edited November 8, 2021 by Ambro51 4 Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Ambro51 Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share #344 Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) Another little beauty, the MYRACLE, dating from 1951 this uses 17.5 mm roll film. The lens is a three element Anastigmat, nicely recessed behind the small hood. One of the best HIT type cameras with full adjustments. The lens is fixed focus, being 20 mm the image is sharpest at about 15 feet, though at f11 it’s in focus for everything a few feet to infinity. There’s a lot of Heft for a small item and it’s built to a high level of precision. Shot one test roll so far, a roll of Verichrome Pan is in now for today. Using one 120 roll, slit correctly, will give you 12 rolls of film! That’s 120 images from one roll of 120. Very Much a Fun Camera to Shoot, and a truly economical way to shoot film. The image below, viewed on a phone, is about the suggested enlargement size for the 14mm negatives, providing ample sharpness. Welcome, dear visitor!

cary Posted November 23, 2021 Share #346 Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) This is my family's Minolta SRT-101 with a 100mm f3.5 Rokkor lens. My father purchased it in 1969, my sister used it in high school as a yearbook photographer and I also used it as a yearbook photographer, until I got a Nikon. This camera led me to the decision to become a professional photographer, attending Brooks Institute earning a BFA degree, and employment as an Industrial/Scientific photographer.

Having heard about 'Radioactive' lenses for many years (mostly, and understandably considering where we are, the v1 50mm Summicron) I was interested to discover whether these optics would really still be radioactive. Well, it turns out that the most radiocative of the glass formulations used Thorium Dioxide which has a half-life of......four-hundred years! So that'll be a 'Yes!' then. Don't cradle those things in your laps, chaps! Philip. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kaufmann might like this one. It is an original Nikkor 85mm 1,8 non AI. But it was in very ugly condition. So I changed the lens to "Red Devil". It's done by myself. Claus Welcome, dear visitor!

alan mcfall Posted November 26, 2021 Share #360 Posted November 26, 2021 For a while I was interested in early Nikon's. But pretty much went back to Leica full time. M, S, S2, S3, SP and S4.
