Ansco Memar post repairs

[farlymac]

I fixed this camera a long time ago, and just forgot to ever go out and shoot the darn thing. Kodak BW400CN exposed at 200 ISO, no filter. In Lexington, VA.

Well, I have one of these die cast gems staring at me as a shelf queen. Focus/shutter/ lens coating issues will keep it there 🙁 Thanks for validating the quality of the optics 🙂

Driver, if you think these look good, wait till I get the super Memar with the 2/50 Soligon back in order. For a triplet though, the Apotar is a really nice lens, after you get all the green goo out of the helical.

Finally got around to taking a photo of the camera.

Like the Hood? It's a Chess United push-on.

These all look great Phil ! Good work.

Thanks, Charles. Now that fall is coming, I'll probably spend more time getting the backlog taken care of.

Nice quality! Who says we need Leicas!

OK. Today's quiz. Does anyone here know what what "ANSCO" stood for? (I do.)

 

[Rob-F]

No takers, eh? OK. It's "Anthony and Scoville." (As near as I can get it, anyhow.)

 

[farlymac]

You Sir, are correct! (I miss Ed McMahon)
