A large retail company in Germany called Foto-Quelle sold cameras under the Revue brand. Similar to the "Tower" concept by Sears in the US. They rebranded tons of cameras. The Revueflex 5005 is actually a Chinon CEII. I have a Revue ML which is a rebadged Praktica MTL5B





In this link there is a list of the cameras they rebranded:

I’d love to see how that looks with a few years of patina.

Thanks,
What he said.

I wasn't aware of them either but I stumbled across this camera for sale online and the not-very-clear photos of what I thought was a 55mm f/1.4 caught my attention first. A little research revealed the nature of the camera, which is one that I've been wanting to get for some time as it's one of the very few auto-exposure cameras that can perform that function with any M42 lens.

I've just posted this in the "Single in... " challenge for monovember. I guess it is sort of gear... certainly vital part of any analogue kit. I do feel my stash is getting out of hand...

Love Fomapan 100! That's a great selection of film - I've used Delta (but 400 not 100) and liked it, HP5+ is a go-to for lower light, only shot one or two BW400CN years ago, I want to shoot more Fomapan 200 (though try shooting 100 at 200 and don't push in processing, really cool look), didn't like FP4, and should shoot more XP2!

Going to make a guess that that particular Silberra is ORWO. One of my favourite currently made films, though I don't shoot it often enough.

(And that Neopan 1600 is probably worth as much as most of the others combined these days. )
