My Old Exakta II

[SidW]

Just found this snapshot in an old album - me with Exakta II around 1960.
The lens is Enna Ennalyt 85mm/1.5 with manual preset iris.



Snapshot scanned on an HP flatbed, then resized etc. in ps.

Might even find the negative one day - if I've got it it's just 4 feet away now, in a stack of unlabeled neg albums.

I can't see which version it is, my hand's covering up the flash sockets.

Great memory shot. That was about the time my dad bought a VXIIA and I got an Exa I.

Great shot, in 1960 I was 9 years old and shooting with my Brownie Hawkeye. I didn't get my Spotmatic until 1967.

10 years old for me, and a Box Brownie! Got one of those now though. Nice lens!

I wasn't born until 1966, but I can appreciate the old black and white photos and the Exakta cameras.....being that I have an old Exakta VXIIa and shoot black and white film through it! I'm a retro dude, what can I say.

Great shot, SidW, nice tones. Love that lens on your old camera.
