Votar Flex TLR, a very simple camera

The VotarFlex is a simple TLR camera. Does not need focusing, has only one shutter speed
(1/50 maybe) plus a B setting and 3 apertures f8, 11, 16.

The camera can be used in daylight or for long exposures
Here are some samples with a Lomography 100 film. The paper backing leaves markings on the film!
I must try with another film brand...
Daylight exposures





a double exposure
and a night exposure with the B setting

Fujica MA-1, plastic and simple

The Fujica MA-1 is a simple plastic camera. It has a 40mm lens with two aperture settings, one for cloudy day (f8) and one for sunny (f11). The camera needs no focusing. But if the subject is between 1-3m we can use the flash setting on the lens. 


I tested the camera with a Kodak Gold 200 ASA film. I did not get very sharp results. There was a lot of vignetting too. I think the film found in the camera had sharper photos.





using the flash setting, for subject distances 1 - 5 meters

Canon Prima Zoom 80u, more from the 2nd film.



Here are some more pictures from the second film with the Canon Prima Zomm 80u

Some snapshots
 while driving
 The close up program selects the flash automaticaly, which is not flattering

Canon Demi S

This is a half frame camera, takes two pictures in one normal frame of a 35mm film. The camera has a fast f1.7 standard lens and a coupled selenium light meter, The user matches the lighmeter needle with the shutter/aperture combination needle to get a correct exposure.
I cleaned the camera and managed to move the shutter but after some days I left the camera the shutter got stuck again. I must clean it more.

The Demi's design is very nice so I must repair it soon and use it!
