Really interesting camera for sale: a Rollei Marin. I think this should be in a museum!

This was my first camera. It was 2005. I was 24, just dropped out of college for the third time, and I was working at the local newspaper on their printing press. I was about to drop a forklift of garbage in the dumpster when I saw a big pile of darkroom equipment. I parked the forklift, and jumped in the dumpster, and salvaged everything i could. There were film prints from the 60s and 70s, half an enlarger, a bunch of filters and a pair of Nikon FM2 cameras. One was pretty much trashed, but the other needed a new battery and a solid cleaning.

After I got home from work that morning, I sorted everything out. I had a working camera with a pair of decent lenses. The label ring had fallen off this lens a long time ago, but it was still a crisp telephoto that didn't grind or stutter when I focused it. On the bottom, someone engraved the newspaper's name and phone number. Give 'em a call. Tell them I said so long, and thanks for all the fish.

I had never really done much photography. I took a cool photo of an amusement park once on a rangefinder, but that was really it. But this camera? It opened up something inside of me. I had no idea what I was doing, but within a few months, I was back in school and enrolled in every photography class the college had to offer.

A new member of my classic camera collection. A Braun Paxette I (probably made in 1950).

The bottom of the camera is ‘milled’ so you can detach the entire bottom and back to load the film.

I love old functional things and am tired of the poor quality of many modern products. That’s why I collect old cameras I guess.

I also love imagining who might have used it previously and what stories they had. This one has an engraving ‘Tamalpais High School’ at the back (2nd pic)

If you have a like one of these (or similar black cameras with round metal labels around their lenses) that says "Made in Hong Kong" or "Made In Japan," I am interested! Here are some USA made examples:

Another tootler encouraged me to post some here (thanks @aeromattsmith) So here we go.

One of my cameras on a very cold morning in a local wood, a resulting negative and a contact print.

I love these beech trees - challenging to photograph as they are up a steep hill and densely shaded most of the year.


(although some of mine may be)

This is the 1963 Cosmic 35 or Smena 8 or Global 35, depending on where it was first sold.

If you've unwrapped your gifts and are settling in with your hot cocoa… one thread in my long-term scanning project is tracing all the little incremental breakthroughs that lead to classic 35mm SLRs of the late 70s.

Morning all,
Opinions wanted 🙂

I bought this lovely camera from the 1950s as a display item.

Cleaning it up this morning, I found a roll of exposed film inside.

So.....

Would it be a waste of money having it developed or a crime not to (obviously there is no middle ground here 😎)

Day 11: I'm really proud of that one. It's my grandmother's portrait. I'd pulled my camera out of the backpack and shot from the side .... It's just an certain moment in very long life ... I met the luck.

Cei Llechi, Caernarfon

The best shot from my test roll on the Voigtlander Vito BL shot on Lady Grey. I'm impressed with the results from a 70 year old camera but it's probably going to need a CLA before more use.
