Photographed these closeups of a Flexaret VII camera that the postman just delivered. Took me quite a while to figure out how to use it, and the manual was probably translated by some mad Czechoslovakian scientist (I lost 10% of my hair while trying to figure out what it says). This Flexaret even comes with the optional 35mm adapter and leather casing. With the 35mm film adapter, I can finally be trigger happy while using a TLR.
Some info about this cam found in the internet …
“The Flexaret VII is the last in a series of TLR cameras made by Meopta (and its predecessors) in the former Czechoslovakia. It’s a fully mechanical camera with an all-metal body. It has a solid feel to it and has lots of features not normally found on TLR cameras. For example: you can set the light value on a mechanical ring. This sets a series combinations of shutter speeds and diaphragms. When you decide you need to stop down the lens a little more, there’s no need to choose the shutterspeed any more. So far, the only time I’ve encountered this feature was on a Hasselblad lens.”
