I have just found out how much more fun a folder is than a Fuji 690 :eek:

My second film with a recently acquired folder.

Tri X (10 years out of date) HC110 Dil B
 
What's the trick?

Just went through some pages of this old thread - and I'm AGAIN amazed by all those old folders. Quality photos they can deliver, plus pics from them seem to have some other quality. I get this feeling like when I look at the paintings. Not sure how to explain, but it's a very pleasing experience. Thanks for posting, everyone!

I too am amazed by the quality of the pictures from these old folders. My own ZI Nettar 510/2 dates from before WWII, and was given to my mother in 1939 when she left the employ of the well known London (UK) Photographic firm, Wallace Heaton. The Camera went with her to the Bahamas in 1940 and to Canada in 1949. In 1958, it was replaced as the family 'user' by a Japanese 35mm. It sat in the closet until my parents home was sold in 2000, when I took it with me for my new camera collection. In a camera store, early in the new century, I saw some 120 film and decide to try out the old ZI. I've been using it ever since. No service, no CLA; nothing but a 60+ year old camera that still takes great pictures.

I think I'll just buy more of these things. My local toy shop (Camera Trader in Ottawa) seems to have a lot. I'll be able to give them to my grandchildren.

Goods shots Pb908. And a nice couple with your wife.
In a couple of vacations to Indonesia, I never have seen a local person carrying a real camera, let alone a vintage folder.
 
thanks Borghesia.
if a "real" mean film, yes, digital camera rules over the country, not many people shooting old film camera specially folder/MF, folder often found in used store for cheap price, just for decoration. lucky for me, that in the same case i got my Bessa II C-Heliar cheap enough, while the output is rocks !
 
Super Ikonta 530A - The gold dome at University of Notre Dame. The noon-day sun was shining directly on rightmost segment of the dome. To my eyes it was almost blinding. I was surprised at how well the lens and film (Tri-X) handled the glare.
