My vintage cameras (most of these do work!)

The SLR's... about one kilo each. Not shown here is the late-model Helios-44 that should be on the Zenit, and another old Helios.

Image
The Zenit with a huge 135mm lens... it is as heavy as it looks, but the balance of this combination makes it really stable, even for low speed shots.

Image
The latest acquisition... Praktica MTL3. Bought for 5 euros at a flea market. Came with 2 other lenses, one of these was broken (the other spare one is the Sigma wide angle on the picture). Have not tested this one with a film in it.

Image
Fedka and a Polish Rolleiflex clone.

Image
Label says NocoFlex, but it's really a rebranded WZFO Start. The lightmeter on the flash clip still works.

Image
The Fedka... Lens is getting stuck again, but i want to get another one to disassemble, preferably with a L/D coated lens.

Image
Fedka manual... Interesting example of late 1960's Russian graphic design.

Does that twin lens reflex use medium format film?  I ask because I happen to enjoy using that format and am playing around with the idea of purchasing a new film camera.  Also thinking about a 4x5 camera, but the film comes too expensive these days.

Blimey!...

...you've just reminded me that my house is littered with all sorts of film Cameras, most of them still with unprocessed film within them!

The Digital Camera seems to have taken over now, often because of the high cost of film, and the processing involved, especially black and white film!

Hi Ivan
You have nice cameras. I am interested in one of your cameras. Namely, I am interested in NOCO-Flex. Are you still in possession of this camera?
