Owner Of Two Early Model (non-MLU) 6x7s

KenG · 03-09-2023, 11:37 AM

Hi All, I own two 6x7s (non-MLU) with TTL meters that I bought brand new in the Army PX in West Germany in the mid to late '70s. I have the 55mm, 105mm f2.4, 135mm macro, and 200mm telephoto. Both camera bodies are currently in for CLA (Clean, Lube, and Adjust) and new light seals. Both bodies and meters functioned fine before the CLA but wanted to have them serviced before starting to use them again after many years in storage. Unfortunately, it appears the CLA and seal replacement costs will be about equal to the value of the cameras on ebay. So be it.

Welcome. Nice that you're willing pay to get your gear in good, operational condition. I take it you have the Takumar generation of those focal lengths too?

The 55mm, 105mm and 200mm are Super Takumar lenses that I bought in the 70s with the bodies. The 135mm macro is a much later 67 lens that I just recently bought.
