Collection Update

I thought about bringing out my collection, you know, just to see what I have at the moment. I now have 20 cameras, 17 of which I laid on the living room table. The 3 left out were at hand, but I just didn't get around to including them. Anyway, here they are..

In this section, we have my prized 10 euro Leicina RT-1, the two Russians, a Sankyo, and two that are unfortunately not functioning (yet!). Its the Eumig and the Agfa.

The next section has my current fave, the Bolex, a Nizo, 2 Bauers, and what's looking to be my straight8 camera, the Yashica.

Finally, here we have 3 Revues, a Lancia, and my 2 Canon 514 xl's.

The whole Super 8 thing (filming, collecting) keeps me sane these days..

Its alive!

The Yashica Electro 8 LD 6 works! I suspected the battery contacts being corroded, and when I cleaned it a bit, it worked!

2 new (old) cameras

I got these two a couple of days ago. I had them mailed to my tita Erma's in Trier. The one on top is a Revue CE 40 and on the bottom is a Yashica Electro LD 6.

The Revue worked right away, and I mean right away because it came with batteries inside! (although there was a little bit of leak so I threw them away). It came with the manual (in German), and also a little tripod-thing.

The Yashica is another story. I was looking forward to this one more because it is one of the "few", one of the 64T-friendly cameras. It came with its case, a manual (German), and some accessories. I tried putting batteries in but it didn't work. Of course I will work on it more, along with my Eumig Viennette 8, as these (along with the Leicina), are my only Ektachrome hopefuls. Details on each camera soon.

Later!
