...I own an early 1950's Franka Solida which was built in the US occupied zone of Germany after WWII. It is a bellows type 120 film camera and is in perfect working condition.

...I own an early 1950's Franka Solida which was built in the US occupied zone of Germany after WWII. It is a bellows type 120 film camera and is in perfect working condition. In my general experience, it's easier to find a working camera from the 1950s than to find a working film camera from the 1990s (and let's not get started on the digital cameras of the 1990s. People were paying hundreds of dollars for cameras with lower picture quality than a 1980s disc film camera). |

...I agree...I own 20+ film cameras dating from the 1930's to the 1980's. My dad was a professional photographer/finisher and this is how I picked up on this. I have never owned and never will own a digital camera. I have a 1932 Agfa 127 half frame camera that is in working order. I have several vintage Leica's, Nikons, Olympus half frame Pen FT and the Olympus OM1 with numerous lens and accessories. A prize I own is a Leica CL built by Minolta with the rare Minolta logo on the casing. Also a Rollei 35 which is a favorite to shoot with...

...and it is too bad that the APS system met a short lived demise...it was an interesting format...I am currently shooting with a Leicaflex (circa 1965)...
