My uncle has been holding onto this for many years.  He asked if I wanted it.  So naturally I said yes.  Please.  Now!!!

It is a Voigtlander Brilliant.  Made in 1938 in Germany.  My grand-uncle was in France in World War 2, battling zombies (I mean Nazis).  And he used this camera during his time in the war.  Odd thing was that being a German camera and he was battling German soldiers, I speculate that the camera might have been smuggled.  No proof of that, just a speculation.

It uses 120 medium format film.  The pictures sizes are 6×6 (60mm by 60mm – much bigger than the full frame 35mm – and about 400 times bigger than the embarrassment of a sensor I have on my Canon Powershot)

I immediately took a roll of Ilford Delta Pro 400, and will be getting the negatives back on Friday (karma willing).

If you have any comments or questions, I would be glad to fake my way through them Laugh

Sounds exciting, Brian.  All the best with it.
Can’t wait to see some photos.

Ok Brian! I can’t wait to see the pictures! I think it is time for me to take my old cameras for a ride as well. :)

If the rolls turns out I will post the best ones this weekend.  Since I was just learning the camera and was pressing all of the buttons and levers to find out what they do, I have no idea what I am going to get haha.

 

Oksana…please do take your film cameras out.  You always take great pictures, it would be nice to see that translated into film.  Maybe you can get some shots of your friend’s bunny.  Bunnies love film.
