A Contura Stereo Camera. Yup, they DO exist! What an awesome beauty!
Wow! I had not even been aware of these. 2 on ebay right now. Beautiful design.

Soviet Iskra 6x6 folder that the selling shop said was serviced and works perfectly.
Except when it showed up and I checked it out they in fact meant the opposite..
So back it goes.
I do that a lot. I use a 3/4” piece of clear tape on both top and bottom and I haven’t any instances of it letting go.On another note, I see people on ebay selling used NON-reloadable film cartridges with the last little bit of film sticking out. What's the deal with this? You just tape the new bit on, try to get it square, and load onto that? Seems like it would be liable to pull off...
On the other hand, it would be DX-coded, unlike the less expensive reloadable cartridges...
Have you guys done that? How did it work?
a six pack of beer...oh wrong thread?
What that REALLY means, (in the absence of a receipt) is that they messed around with it and it seems to work OK.
"Shutter clicks? Check.
Dials turn? Check.
Back opens and latches properly? Check." = "serviced and working well"
... Yet, and this is a big yet , the lens can produce some excellent photos ( be careful what you wish for ) . They can drive you nuts . Peter

Not sure whether I should be wondering what happened to the bellows or wondering why the camera is apparently on the roof.
