  I think there is a point in every budding photographer’s life where one takes stock of one’s gear, thinks “holy christ!” and decides to share it with the world. I am at one of those points. Behold! Taken with the 450D and the 28-105 f3.5-4.5 USM II (obviously not present in the shot).

  Last night while visiting my parents my dad gave me a briefcase for me to have as the family keeper, so to speak, of items i didn’t even know existed. Most of my ancestors were poor so nothing ever was passed down except an old iron or oil lamp. Inside the briefcast were items that belonged to my great grandfather and his father. Life magazines dated from the 40’s, gazettes and other various readings. There are field binoculars from WWI and a compass with it’s leather strap. Also are various stock shares for a company that after looking on the net do not seem to exist (damn) Also inside was a leather pouch with a carrying strap which I opened and found a box, upon closer examation i’d be damned if it was a camera. I opened it, peeked inside and carefully figured out how to move teh components. Because of rust the lens would not slide all the way down the track but when i pulled out the metering slide i could maneuver the lens out to look at it all. How beautiful! / This is an example off the internet of what it looks like…however not the exact model i have as mine is older and more basic. I was excited! The backing where the film goes was more difficult to get open but it looked like it took 35mm, but i dont know how to work it. Also was a larger more heaver item in the briefcase and opening it’s outer lid it was BEAUTIFUL – a poloroid land camera model 95a. Upon researching this i was disappointed that film was no longer sold for it and i’m not savvy enough to figure out by some internet sites how to get it working by means of conversion and such. it’s sad that they are of nominal value…at least the above. But does anybody know anything about the first camera mentioned above? The lens shows it’s a voigtlander anastigmatat voigtar 1:6,3 f=9 cm No other information i can find and i’m more curious about if i can find out a date this camera was made. I’m assuming prior to 1920 based on the fact most of the models i found on the net that are similiar appear a bit more modern than this one. Does anyone here have or collect antique cameras? I was so thrilled to find this one was in the family and found its way to me.

  Here I lay
  by Gavin King

  Taken with 1935 Voigtlander camera in Nacton, Ipswich. This came from the first film run through this camera and to be quite honest I’m impressed with the camera and how acurate the “hawk eye” was.

  Portrait of My Son Through The Viewfinder of My Grandfather's Voigtlander Compur
  by Kitsmumma

  This photo is very special to me. In my hand I hold my Grandfather’s 90 year old vintage Voigtlander Compur folding camera that he bought in Germany in the 1920’s and I’ve taken a photograph of my son through the tiny viewfinder. I cannot articulate the emotions this stirs in me. I bet my grandfather never imagined that one day, in another century, his beloved camera would be used by his granddauther (who he never knew) to photograph his great grandson (who he also never knew). I’m a sentimental fool…............... Best viewed LARGE
