[Carl Hall]

Yashica FX-D?

Based on you posting this post plus some help from Google

Yashica FX-D Quartz + Yashica ML 50mm f/1.4 + expired Fuji Superia X-Tra 800 (exposed at 400) + Compard Digibase C-41 at 25ºC

Nuremberg

Carl, leave something for the others...

Yashica FX-D Quartz

Maybe owning the camera is not the best rule in this case...

Damn! And I have so many obscure cameras that I can take close up shots of

Well done Mr Hooley, well spotted.

Here it is in all its Bakelite glory

It was given to me by a friend, it belonged to her uncle and this was on the roll of film that was in it when she gave it to me

I'll stick a new photo up later

 

[abdoujaparov]

In the meantime . . .



Edit: Holy crap, that crop looks horrible. I'll leave it in anyway.

 

[ariel7515]

No idea... some Konica maybe?

XA2?

 

[Asha]

Some sort of tacky 110/126 instamatic from the '70's ...?

 

[joxby]

It is as Steve say's.......an XA2 or XA3, that crop is the same for both cameras..

 

[abdoujaparov]

XA2?

Correct!

 

[robhooley167]

Have at it.

I was considering taking a shot of the Purma Special, but too many people here have them!

 

[Carl Hall]

I have no idea! Wouldn't even know where to begin trying to look on Google either, so I can't even cheat!

 

[stevelmx5]

Looks like some sort of Box camera possibly? I've got no idea but thanks to embedded GPS in the image I can see which house it was shot in, does that count? ;0)

 

[Carl Hall]

It counts if you can get into said house and find the camera!

 

[robhooley167]

It's not a box camera

 

[Andysnap]

It'll be something scarily scientific I should imagine. A new kind of photographic death ray or summink.

 

[ariel7515]

It reminds me the wheel to reset the exposure counter of the Ikoflex camera, but not able to find anything related to that I-B switch.

Not quite, though my grandfather used one of these a lot in the lab, not this exact one though.

 

[Andysnap]

Your grandfather eh? Would that be Dr Frankenstein by any chance? Mwuh huh huh.

 

[Morinaka]

I know what it is, just realised i had one on the shelf, it's a Polaroid Land Model 95. I'll up an image myself after dinner.

 

[stevelmx5]

Good spot! I hope that's a 5x4 converted Pathfinder Rob :0)

 

[robhooley167]

It will be a project at some point...

Asha has sent me some quarter plate film holders, so I'm going to see whether one of them can be fabricobbled into it...

 

[stevelmx5]

Good man :0)

 

[Morinaka]

OK this is one of mine, hopefully not too obscure.

 

[joxby]

oh well, I'll kick it off then, guessing it has a wire finder so maybe a press camera......Graflex..

 

[robhooley167]

I was thinking it was a Koronet of some type.

 

[Morinaka]

Hint will be it's a box camera your great grandfather could have used.
