I think you are in business. Your road to become rich and famous! Or at least give a certain C6 some competition!

Well, he'll still be in business, because I wouldn't know where to find cranberry red, electric blue, or tangerine and purple tiger-striped leatherette.

I can probably have these sent to you from the Far East. All you have to do is to sort out how to fold the bellows!

Oh, I know how to do it. I just have difficulty in making myself go to the trouble.

In fact, I've been thinking about getting some shutter curtain material and some XXXthin leather and putting together half a dozen Isolette bellows next month. If I do, I know I can sell them. We'll see how that goes.

Edit: They will be black, if I do.

Those cameras are fun to use, and feel like time machines too !
 
With all the fruh frah about the new Voigtlander GF670, I decided to break out my old Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta 531. It took this photo on Tri-x. The fine detail is great, even at the edge. You can see the detail in the bark on the tree with the carvings at left at 1:1.

Souped my first roll of film ever yesterday evening. It was out of necessity more then anything else. The photolab said they didn't develop 127 film anymore :(

Kodak Autographic Vest Pocket camera, Efke R100 film. Not bad for a 90 year old triplet lens, though it has some fungus/haze on rear elements
 
More from my Super Baldax with a Radionar 80mm f2.9 lens. Film: Neopan 400.

Zeiss Super Ikonta 530 (4.5x6) - Plus-X. Scanned from a print. As far as I know the 7 cm lens on this camera is uncoated. I was surprised at how well it performed shooting toward the sun in this shot.

I rescued a battered 1930s-vintage
Balda Pontura from eBay last week
and shot a roll yesterday. The lens
is an uncoated Hugo Meyer Trioplan:

The camera wasn't "vintage" when the picture was taken (1917-18) by my grandfather (Its his bunk and kit). It's my scan and restoration of a very poor condition negative. As you can see, some of the image was pretty much beyond help.
