I mostly shoot with my digital cameras but I have a thing for old and vintage cameras and sometimes I like to take them out on a shooting day. I’ve shown you my film cameras before and I wanted to present them to you individually. So there we go with 4 cameras!

The Welta Welti

This is a beautiful 35mm folding camera manufactured between 1935 and 1950 in Germany.

 

The Kodak Retinette

This is a Kodak Retinette IB which was produced from October 1959 to February 1963 in Germany. It has a 45mm/f2.8 lens and built-in light meter.

 

The Ricoh Mate 

The Ricoh Mate is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced in 1960 with a 45mm f/2.8 lens.

 

Fujica ST701

This one is special because it was one of my grandfather’s cameras. It works well but I really have to put my lighting knowledge to the test as a battery leakage is blocking the battery compartment and prevents the use of the light meter. But this is a good thing, right? :0)

It has a 55mm f/1.8 lens and was produced in the 1970’s.
