Glass plate camera, made by ICA in Dresden around 1910, came to me in a rather poor condition: plate holder with some rust, ground glass and folding leather viewing detached entirely from the main body, rail advance a bit wonky, the viewfinder element rus…

Although I do not know for certain the maker of this rangefinder camera, I suspect it is manufactured by Iloca.

Considered somewhat a shortcoming of Minox 8×11 film photography was that the film stocks available on the market were limited to only a few stocks and ISO.

I am certain many of the 8×11 users out there remember a time when the Minox 8×11 used film cassettes were available on the market, mainly by being purchased from laboratories such as Blue Moon, or from those excellent labs in Germany.

In a recent article here I spoke about a Leica-R Summicron 50/2 being converted to Nikon F mount, by means of a Nikon F mount ring (Leitax).

A beautiful Leica-R Summicron 50/2 became part of my photographic gear, gifted by a person I respect and admire.

For those who are fans of the half frame format, there is a good number of cameras that shoot in that format.

Purchased to replace my broken Super Ikonta A 531, back in 1996, this camera has provided me with lots and lots of good photographs.

So, the Yashica FX-3 Super 2000 – right from the start, this is a tiny camera.

Been invited to participate in a show based on tradition and folklore, just this weekend past.
