alan mcfall Posted November 26, 2021 Share #361 Posted November 26, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) My Zeiss rangefinder cameras are few, I, II, IIIa. But the Contarex, pulled me in with its complexity. I have the chrome models( Bullseye, Special, Professional, Electronic), but never a black one. Several motor drive systems and heavy zoom lenses. Now, if I could just find a reasonably prices repairman to keep all those finicky shutters going! Welcome, dear visitor!

Scrapbook Posted November 26, 2021 Share #365 Posted November 26, 2021 #368 Hallo Andreas, du musst das Objektiv natürlich demontieren und die Farbreste vorsichtig abschleifen. Dann das Objektiv trocken säubern und anschließend sorgfältig und gleichmäßig besprühen: Edding Permanent Spray, Acryllack , Rot, matt (200ml).

I'd never noticed before but, from that angle in particular, there are many styling cues which have strong similarities to those found on the Olympus OM-1 which came along several years later.

cary Posted November 26, 2021 Share #368 Posted November 26, 2021 Hi Philip, Thank you very much for the nice complement! The SR-1S does has some design features of the OM-1, I have not noticed it until you bought it up. The SR-1S is from the mid 1960's and is one of my favorite non Leica cameras. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of fondness for many of the early Minolta SLRs and, later on, found an appreciation for their rangefinder models as well. As a young kid I used to look at the small-ads in the back of 'Amateur Photographer' magazine and dream about the possibility, one day, of owning an SR-T 101........in Black! To me it was, absolutely, the epitome of Elegance and Sophistication. The 303 needless to say was, sadly, beyond the reach even of my dreams! Happy Days.

I'm afraid you are right, the usp of these zooms are medium-format or macro, maybe the 1:2.8/36-82 mm for Voigtländer Bessamatic (and others) was the best of these, perhaps due to the use of Thorium-glas.

willeica Posted December 1, 2021 Share #376 Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) School of Pupilles from Nagel with their 'school bags'. The Pupille is a half frame 127 format camera. There are 4 items by Leitz in this photo, two 5 cm Elmar lenses and two FOFER rangefinders, both with the N mark. Other accessories are also here, including cases, stands for the FOFER and the camera, filters and a lens cap. 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! From the left at back, 1. Large Pupille case for full outfit, camera, rangefinder, stands for camera and rangefinder and two filters, 2. Small Pupille case for camera, stand for camera and two filters. From the left at the front 1. Leitz FOFER with N mark and feet scale, the Pupille focusses down to 2.5 feet or 0.7 metres and has a lot of intermediate markings, not the same as those on a Leica. 2. Foot for vertical portrait mode use, see centre camera. 3. Pupille with Schneider Kreuznach 4.5cm f2 Xenon lens in feet scale Compur mount marked Kodak (who had bought Dr Nagel's firm) and stand for FOFER rangefinder. Note the strap loops not seen on other cameras. 4. Lens cap for Schneider lens 5. Two yellow filters for Schneider lens ( some glue separation). 6. Pupille with Leitz 5cm f3.5 Elmar lens in metre scale Compur mount marked Nagel, in vertical portrait orientation using stand. 7. Pupille with Leitz 5cm f3.5 Elmar lens in metre scale Compur mount marked Nagel and with Leitz FOFER N metre scale rangefinder in stand. Below is a 'Luxus' version of a Pupille outfit with green reptile leather for the case in camera. This camera has the 5cm Leitz Elmar, like two of mine above. This camera is said to be in the Leica Archives/Ernst Leitz Museum in Wetzlar, but is not currently on display as far as I know. This photo is in the book Museum Leica by Lars Netopil. I have other cameras from Dr August Nagel, 3 Nagel Vollendas, 5 Contessa Nettels, from his earlier firm, and two Kodak Retinas, the last named being the first group of cameras designed for the 35mm cassette which we are all so familiar with. Dr Nagel made a large contribution to photography, but his memory is often overshadowed by that of other industry figures, such as Barnack.

We all know that the end of the Raiders of the Lost Ark is correct; the Ark of the Covenant is in an unmarked wooden crate in some tractless warehouse. There are a lot of items in the book by Lars, which are not to be seen. So, that 'mausoleum ' must be quite full. I quite liked the displays in the museum as education is a very central role for most museums these days. The problem for Leica AG is that while there are a few us who are interested in the really rare items and prototypes, the vast majority of people coming in the door only have a general grasp on photography and the history of Leitz/Leica. Another item in the 'mausoleum', which is almost as rare as the Ur-Leica itself, is the 7.5cm Leitz Elmar for the Kochmann Korelle K, of which only one copy seems to survive. I managed to obtain one of those cameras and then I separately found the tiny 3.5 cm Leitz Elmar with its own aperture control. This is also a very rare item which is different to the LTM 3.5cm and also the Leitz lenses on Nagel and other Compur mount cameras which have the aperture in the shutter. The Kochmann has a Compur shutter, but the aperture is in the lens rather than the shutter. A photo of the Leitz Elmar lens for the Kochmann is below beside the 3.5cm Elmar for LTM. I hope to be able to suggest to Leica that a Collectors's Club might be set up for people like ourselves, who could, in turn, provide assistance to the company. There is a lot of knowledge on this forum which the company could use, particularly as it is also a seller and auctioneer of vintage items. Welcome, dear visitor!
