Ihagee Exa 1c 35mm SLR Package
IHAGEE EXA 1C
PRODUCT NUMBER: SF.100708
OVERVIEW
The EXA Ic was a late re-edition of Ihagee’s SLR body Exa Ib. It was produced from 1985 to 1987. The “c” expresses that this EXA had been produced by Certo. While most of the Exa’s share their lens mount with the Exakta’s, the Ic has a 42mm screw mount. This enables you to use a wide variety of M42 lenses.
The Exa has a remarkable shutter: there are no curtains, but two rotating cylinders, one of which is fixed to the mirror. When you press the shutter button, the mirror goes up, thus opening the shutter. After the time set the second cylinder rotates to close it again. When you cock the shutter, both cylinders are placed in the original position.
Another interesting feature of this exa is that by half depressing the shutter button, the diaphragm closes. So each time you fire, you get a depth of field preview.

Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta III [531/16]
ZEISS IKON SUPER IKONTA III
PRODUCT ID: MF.100701
OVERVIEW
In the 1950s, the era of the folding camera was drawing to a close. However, the Super Ikonta didn’t slip quietly into history.
Built on the same platform as the roll-film Nettars and Ikontas, the Super Ikonta III 531/16 was a full-featured camera that lacked only an onboard light meter.
Super Ikonta’s incorporated a rangefinder and high quality lenses. Synchro-Compur shutters were extremely well made and remain accurate after many years of use. The fit and finish of all parts is superb, probably the best folding medium format cameras ever made. Folded, these cameras provide an extremely compact medium format camera.
POLAROID SX-70 LAND CAMERA SONAR ONESTEP RESERVED
POLAROID SX-70 LAND CAMERA SONAR ONESTEP
PRODUCT ID:PL.100713
OVERVIEW
The SX-70 is a folding single lens reflex (SLR) Polaroid Camera. Revolutionary at the time, it was the first instant SLR and the first camera to use Polaroid’s integral print film.
The SX-70 has a folding body design, a 4-element 116mm f/8 glass lens, and an automatic exposure system. The camera allows manual focus as close as 10.4 inches (26.4cm), and has a shutter speed range from 1/175s to more than 10 seconds. A variety of models were offered, though all share the same basic design. Later models have an ultrasonic rangefinder auto-focusing system known as Sonar.
Agfa Optima Sensor 535
AGFA OPTIMA SENSOR 535
PRODUCT ID: SF.100708
OVERVIEW
A viewfinder camera from the 70’s, the Optima Sensor series has a significant cult following. On the top of the distance ring are symbols, at the bottom there is a meter and feet scale. The idea apparently was to develop an unproblematic and foolproof camera for everyday use. That, they achieved totally and completely. The depth of field of the 40mm lens makes good what error the scale focusing introduces, and the automated exposure has (almost) never failed me, not even with slides or in hard to impossible lighting circumstances.
Nikon EM 35mm SLR Kit RESERVED
NIKON EM 35MM SLR KIT
PRODUCT ID: SF.100709
Extracted from sheldonbrown.org
[The Nikon EM was the Rodney Dangerfield of the Nikon line, the model that “can’t get no respect.” Despite this, it was in some ways my favorite model.
It was held in disdain for two reasons:
- It was Nikon’s first model with a plastic exterior. The thing is, that in the same era, Nikon competitors were making lots of models with plastic main body castings and metal-like plastic exteriors, while the Nikon EM was all metal inside where it counts. Even the self timer had all metal gears!
- The EM was aperture-preference autoexposure only (aside from a manual 1/90 for flash or emergency use.) Snobs dismissed it as suitable only for clueless snapshooters because it “lacked creative control” of exposure. That was actually a bum rap, because the film ASA (DIN) speed dial was quite prominent and easily accessible. When I used EMs a lot I would frequently adjust the film speed when I needed to compensate for difficult lighting situations. This worked just as well as setting manual shutter speeds/f stops.
Minolta Hi-matic F Rangefinder in Packaging!
MINOLTA HI-MATIC F
PRODUCT ID: SF.091201
OVERVIEW
The Minolta Hi-Matic F is a small coupled-rangefinder, leaf-shuttered 35mm camera with program automatic exposure. Released in 1972, it has a very sharp Rokkor 38mm f/2.7 coated lens (4 elements in 3 groups).
Although this is not a QL17 GIII, the Hi-matic F is a different kind of fun. It’s size makes you want to bring it wherever you go, and the 38mm f2.7 is sharp! No manual exposure to worry about, just focus and shoot! For hard to expose situations, i.e backlight, simply adjust the ASA ratings!
Here is a link to read what Karen Nakamura has to say.
Personally, I love this camera to bits. It’s compact, easy to use and has fantastic optics.
Pictures I took with my Hi-matic F. More from others [1] [2] [3]
The camera was designed to take the obselete 1.35 Mercury battery but adaptors are included to use the 1.5v LR44 /1.4v 675 Zinc air hearing aid battery effectively. F
Olympus 35 RC Rangefinder Camera
OLYMPUS 35 RC
PRODUCT ID:SF.100707
OVERVIEW
With the Olympus 35 RC, you have the basics of 35 mm photography in the palm of your hand. A true classic among 1970′s fixed-lens rangefinder cameras, the 35-RC is a traditionally built metal bodied 35mm rangefinder, with the superb fit and finish that were a hallmark of Olympus cameras before plastics and electronics became the norm. It is a basic no frills camera with desireable features for the serious photographer and novice as well. The 35-RC has an easy to use shutter preferred automatic mode, with a full manual override to allow for experimentation and compensation of tricky lighting.
The 5 element Zuiko lens provides surprisingly sharp resolution and contrast. Without a doubt, thirty years after its introduction, the diminutive 35 RC is still a reliable performer, delivering the essence of 35mm photography in a small, easy to carry package.
Beirette VSN Package
BEIRETTE VSN
PRODUCT ID. SF100706
OVERVIEW
This camera is rare I have problems finding sufficient information online (apologies). All I can say that it’s has a very nice communist look, and great for experimental photography – pictures can be quite crappy or quite brilliant! Lomo lovers will definitely love this.
To see sample images taken with the Beirette. I found a German website about this camera.
