Got the package yesterday and it was a little bit of an anti-climax.
The wasnt really anything extra apart from what was in the picture so aparently that all weighs 12.5kilo minus the box I guess.
Most of it was also in pretty bad shape but not everything.
The old one was a Meister Korelle and I think it is a 6x6 frame?
Its a huge hole anyways and everything seems to be in working order.
The lens is a CZ 8cm f2.8 Jena Tessar and it too seems to be in good condition but the whole camera needs some cleaning and the leather might do with a replace unless that patina is desired
Its made in Dresden, Germany but I have no clue when.
I took some shots of it so you can have a look at it.
I will sell it but Im not sure were or how as of yet.
The Pentax MEF is used but seems to be working. I have not had time to check the batteries yet but its pretty much dead right now. Dont even know how to change them yet but theres a good manual so i guess I need to read thru it. The 35-70 f2.8 lens looks ok too and I did place new batteries in it but I dont think I can get the AF running whithout batteries in the camera or?
One of the germans was, as I thought, a 135mm f3.5 AusJena ( Sonnar) but the focusing is completely stuck so I will have to take that one apart and hopefully I can rescue it. The other zebra was an old battered Schneider-Kreutznach 50mm f1.9 and Im hoping that I can fix that one up. That will be a great lens after some cleaning and relubing.
The Sigma lens is also very fascinating. It loks like crap in the front. I think there is some fungus that needs to be cleaned and also 1 fairly big scratch on the front element BUT. It takes incredibly sharp pictures even wide open. Definetly the sharpest I have ever tested. Mechanically it seems to work perfectly.
There was also a Pentax-M 50mm f1.7 and an ugly Minolta/Rokkor 50mm f1.7.
The Bellows was actually very nice and will be my new bellow since its leighter and more sturdy compared to my older Pentax M42 bellows.
There were 1 Schneider-Companon 105mm f4.5 but it was not in the best shape. Also another quite intruiging and heavy lens: 6 in Xpres 1:4.5 Ross, London.
Its glass looks scratch free but with a small amount of hopefully cleanable fungus inside. Might be fun for a homemade bellows lens?
It has 18 or so blades and a built in focusing mechanism.
I olilke little things like that. Never know when they can be used and often they can produce some interesting images.
Thats about it I guess.
