East German porn

Would love to see some larger photos of this camera, but the album/collection is set to private.

Nice camera, by the way. Is that a new covering on it?
 
You're sure about the thread title? May be better restrict the porn to cameras...? 😉

Besides that: Nice camera. Are you happy with the finder? They're often pretty dirty and dark.
 
There's never been any doubt about the optics of the Praktisix or the Pentacon six. The problem has always been the film transport system.

Mind you, I knew a portrait photographer who used this system. She had half a dozen bodies and was always on the lookout for more. Her view was that she could buy a second hand P6 body for a bit less than a Hasselblad magazine and in the studio she could keep the ambient light down, so the slow sync speed didn't matter.

Proof, I think, that women are far more sensible than men. But they already know that. 😀
 
Thanks. Only had it a few days, so not much to report so far. Been thinking about one for a long time, and when the Petvar Portrait lens project popped up, I had to have one.


Will join the group when I have something to post.
 
A very sad point for the P6 is that most people buy it because they think it´s cheap. When trouble startes they search for the next body and so on. that´s why the P6 has a bad reputation and there are very few good bodies left.
I got my P6 for nearly nothing - testet it with 4 films and loved it - so I made the decission for a complete rebuild and paid for that 350,-€ - nothing I will get back on the market, but it gave me a cam that works like it should and not like the reported cams.
My toughts are that a cam should have a CLa every 10 years and maybe an overhaul after30-40 years.
I did this with my Bessamatics and my Retina IIIs and it paid out in very relaiable cams without any problems!
