Show Your Scale Focus Beauties!

[Mr_Flibble]

Thanks, I had already found your report on your restoration of the Mercury. It was a great help in opening it up and cleaning out the globs of grease and film chips.

Haven't taken off or re-glued the leather yet. I have Bison Kit for this, it remains somewhat rubbery once dry.

Good to hear I was a help, Rick. Mine is unfortunately sounding like it's about to come apart again. That catch lever may be working it's way out of it's mounting hole. I'll have to run another roll of film through it to see if it's still functioning okay.

Been wanting a Rollei 35S to join my Rollei 35 and pushed the button yesterday. Perfect briefcase camera.

I just had the 35S CLA'd by Krikor Maralian so I decided to snap a family portrait.

Only the 35S and the Singapore Rollei 35 work. The German model and the 35 LED are non-working props that would cost to much to repair, but they're still cool to have around.

and a couple of Werra, both scale focus. I really love the Olive werra, they make for very attractive cameras

I loved my Werra, but the wind was a bit wrong. I gave it to a collector in the end.

Haven't got a good shot of my latest scale focus beauty yet (at least not without me attached to it), and it's not a 35mm either I'm afraid.

And boy was it cold that weekend

Why, it was so cold, even the smoke froze in your pipe! Nice cam, Rick.

Found this at a local thrift store without a single scratch! I bought the close up rangefinder after and the accura as well. Its a very nice and extremely well built camera!

Neat! I hope it works as nice as it looks. 🙂

My Robot II and Robot Star 50 have returned from being serviced now. They look and feel great now, shutter and drive working reliably through the range. Got a special Schneider 30mm f/5.6 for them too ... Curious little thing, you remove the lens mount and bolt it to the camera to use it. Made for surveillance work.

Have to do some photos...
