When I bought it, I thought it was for the PLOOT reflex housing. Zeitz, your lens dates from late 1947 and was produced by Schneider fro Leitz, in a batch of 50 lenses.

wlaidlaw Posted May 23, 2022 Share #684 Posted May 23, 2022 Sadly both my two cell and three cell Graflites were stolen by the thieves at my French house along with the only camera they stole, my Graflex Crown Century with 80mm 2.8 Tessar. The 20 odd Leicas in the same room were obviously not to their taste. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that the thickness of the Repriskop for Leica is 64.5mm compared to 62.5mm for Leitz' PLOOT and Visoflex I. The cable releases for the Repriskop are specific for either Leica or Contax style shutter releases. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanus53 Posted May 24, 2022 Share #688 Posted May 24, 2022 The later offered Kilarflex was offered both for Leica and Contax but differ in size so you could only use the lenses with 64.5 mm on the Contax. Same for Novoflex, mirror-houses look similar in size but lenses like 135 mm Xenar with short helicoid focuses only on Leica from infinity to 1.5 m; the aditional offerd bellows compensated this difference. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandro Posted May 25, 2022 Share #689 Posted May 25, 2022 A travel camera with Schneider Kreuznach Xenar f4.5/24cm lens, which dates from 1935. I assume the camera itself was built around that time as well. The camera doesn't have a name plate. Lex Welcome, dear visitor!

I have seen a very similar camera in a little shop near the Leica shop in Nuremberg/Germany last year. Beautifully made, and goes to show what 'travel camera' meant in those days 🙂. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend had a number of the Horseman cameras, including the 6 x 17 and their ultra wide but unfortunately his wife found the receipts and that was the end of my darkroom facilities. He got the cameras, she got the house. Wilson 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!
