This one's for Brian 😉

I arrive home to find a bag full of camera cases. three in total, one notoriously shaped like a Lubi 166, and the two that coooould be folders.

Hey, what can I say - I'm a good guesser 😀

My grandfather had raided some old storage I think, the names on the cameras look like maybe my grandmother's and another relative?

The Lubi will probably be shelfbound since I have the Rollei's, and have used a 166B I was given by my mother.


The folders:

Vario - Aplanat lens f/8... opening is a nightmare, its stiff to get the lens down the rail to begin with, so maybe a clean is in order!

Zeiss Ikon Nettar - Telmar Anastigmat f/6.3

The Vario is MASSIVE, but I think I might have to throw the Nettar in my pocket and try it out tomorrow. I hope it's a gem. That said, the Vario could be a nice little performer!


I'm so glad I bought 6 outdated rolls of Ilford 400 for £1 each! 😀

Nice!!! When I went home this summer, my parents told me they had picked up some cameras for me... I was pretty excited to begin with (they've seen my collection of rf's here in the states), but I had to keep a surprised/grateful face while sifting through a box of instamatics. There was a nice old leather camera bag with a Canon T60 at the bottom though...

Have fun with the Nettar! I've thought about picking one up myself...

Something tells me they'll have sticky shutters, but we'll see. Is the Vario an Agfa? pretty long, looks older than the Zeiss!
