Maybe I should shoot a roll with my father's Agfa folder. It's a 6x6.
I've been meaning to do that ever since I cleaned the lens and warmed
up the shutter a bit. It had been sitting for at least forty years. It
focuses by scale as well. As I recall, he got lucky from time to
time:-).

Yes. There is a focus scale on the "lens" and you try to guess the
distance and set it :)
Previously I used a Zeiss Ikonta (was my grandfather's camera in the
40's) and that one had the same system.
I have bought a roll of Ilford B&W film and will shoot it probably
next week (hoping for better weather).
I am really happy for this nice camera.
Cheers,

Should be fun. Is focus by scale?

Yesterday I went in an antique shop with a friend (we like to go
such shops :P) and asked them if they have any photographic
equipment. Well... they did.
First what grabbed my attention is a Zenit 122 with a Jupiter
f2/85mm lens on it. It was quite cheap so I was sure to buy it :)
Asked the dealer to get it off from the shelves and as he took the
other items he picked a leather box... a small brown box approx.
15x10x4 centimeters... I asked him if I can see what it is. Well
it was a compact camera from the 30's, a Voigtlander Bessa.
So after some bargain I got the price for the two cams down to ~95$.
So here is my newest compact camera with the highest resolution
Medium Format available (9x6cm "sensor size" :D), with a fix 110mm
lens with f4.5-16 aperture, 1/250 fastest shutter speed, dual
viewfinder, full metal body:

Oh yeah, the picture was made with the Jupiter 85mm @ f2 :)
And there will be a photo-flea market tomorrow! (I am trying to
take no money with me :D)
Cheers,
