wlaidlaw Posted March 11, 2022 Share #641 Posted March 11, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Al, there are various books devoted solely to the Kodak Brownie Cameras: e.g. The Brownie Camera. Eaton S. Lothrop, Jr, now out of print but probably available from the likes of Abe Books etc. Also this site might be of interest https://www.brownie-camera.com .

alan mcfall Posted March 11, 2022 Share #643 Posted March 11, 2022 Reminds me of this older book. Although this was published in 1950 and only included German cameras that were available then. Some 52 camera firms were listed in the 156 pages. Although published by Hans Bierl in Munich, it was dedicated to "The American Camera Fan". Probably an attempt to improve American sales when money was still fairly tight in Europe. Leitz was shown to offer only 3 cameras, Ic, IIc, IIIc. Welcome, dear visitor!

By the time I got his IIIa, which he used for colour reversal, synchronised in 1965, he had gone over to a Mecablitz Electronic flash.

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 I have that book, Thomas, but it only goes up to 1986, so it is an earlier edition. I received it in error when I ordered this book from 1900-1945, which I now have. I now have both books as I kept the 1945-1986 volume. Both are signed by Willi Kerkmann. The books are wonderful, Thomas, but they are of more use to you than they are to me as they are entirely in German. The volume 'to 1986' excludes East German cameras. Does the 'to 1999' volume include them? 2 hours ago, thomas_schertel said: Agfa Movex yours sincerely Thomas Thomas, this reminds me of the following which I may have posted before. The interior workings of old cine cameras, such as this Bolex H16, are a wonder to behold. I have donated this one to a local darkroom/photography school which teaches both 16mm and 8mm cine photography, including development of those films. While people on this forum might regard this type of photography as belonging to the past, there is a big uptake of such cine photography in recent times by quite young people who would not have been around when this was originally common. The Bolex H16 Reflex fetches very high prices these days as do the accompanying Kern Switar lenses. William 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas_schertel Posted March 15, 2022 Share #648 Posted March 15, 2022 William, I never intended to collect in former times. And now I do so. Mainly german cameras. And now I have to search for the other book yours sincerely Thomas 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atzmüller & Rendl from Austria build this lens by using an Angulon and plastic material for the mounting to realize Scheimpflug- and shift-movements. Not very successfully with their attempt they sold the patent they claimed to Canon - you guess the rest.

EDIT : I've just read up a bit about the Radix and note the unusual cassette-to-cassette film transport system. Is it possible to circumvent this unfortunate (for 2022) state of affairs in any way?

thomas_schertel Posted March 16, 2022 Share #651 Posted March 16, 2022 You can refill the cassettes with normal 135 film, 60 centimetres long. In the cassettes are no spools, so you can push the film in (darkroom). Very simple. Yours sincerely Thomas 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
