Hey Folks, I have this old camera I'd like to sell here's the description and some pics
It has SPORT on the outside case and Feca on the inside of the back cover, PRONTO and Gaunthier G m b H Calmbach on the lens face around the lens. It has what I think is an exposure timer and a and a portrait timer and a focus ring on the lens . On the inside of the focus ring it says Zecanar Anstigmat 1:4.5 F=10.5cm 442086. The leather? bellows is in very good shape no cracks or holes.
Here's' some pics of it
Thanks
Your Friend,
Lou
One of your members Stephen posted this about it , Solved, and it was in your description, it is a FECA Sport 120, which is a ZEH made camera, and identical to the Adox and some other 1930's folders made by ZEH as well.
The Feca version is far less common, must not use the term rare, as that implies extra value, rarity can just mean uncommon, and it's value can only be determined by an actual sale. Indicators on Ebay experiences would place it in the $15 -$25 area, but cleaned up and the case is in sound re-stiched condition, it just needs leather restorer rubbed in, it could go for a bit more.
Also as you did not know the film type, 120 size film is fully available in colour, and black and white, if you want to try out the camera.
Stephen.

You can e mail me at cruzerlou@Verizon.net and if you wish ill give you me number so I can answer any questions you may have , Thanks, Lou

Clean it up using a damp cloth, dont worry about any corrosion or rust. Nor about peeling leather. Put it on ebay. Bearing in mind what we have told you about this camera put the maker, camera name, lens and shutter (pronto) description in your listing. Perhaps create a fixed price in the region of 30 us dollars. You may have some luck.
Good luck to you
Phil

Never shoot with flash. It lights up every little speck of dust. Use daylight or good indoor lights such as in a bright kitchen.

Mickey, It was not my intent to breach any forum rules. I simply didn't know where else to go to find info on my camera . If I've done wrong please feel free to remove my classified ad for my camera . My thinking was that someone that knows and could use the camera might like to buy it . I'm not looking to rip someone off, how could I/ I don't know anything about old or new camera's for that matter.
I apologize for ant y thing I've done wrong here. If you feel that removing me is what's called for then by all means do so . I'm not trying to be rude , but I understand forums have rules and if I've broken them then do what your rules say .
I thank you all again for the information you've given me and hope you all will accept my apology, I had no ill intent. I won't post anything about this again.
Your's Truly ,

Lou,
I did not intend to hurt your feelings but that rule has always been enforced.
I have belonged to two other camera fora that did not have such a rule. Things became rather unpleasant as a result.
I would not like to see that happen to The Camera Collector.
Why not stick around. Perhaps you might catch C.F. (Collector's Fever). It is very pleasant.
As you can see by the response from the members (other than Mickey the Grouch) they are always willing to advise and help.
And cameras are fascinating animals.
Mickey

Mickey is right and I like Cruzerlou's considerate response too.
So, we still like to photograph our cameras and my comment about high intensity flash is still there. When I photograph my cameras, I want to produce an attractive image of the camera and not one intended to accentuate all of the blemishes. That's for pics intended for ebay. Mine are for my walls.

Please understand that as far as cameras go all I have is whatever is in my cellphone ,that's the reason for the low quality of the pictures of my camera .
As to me posting it for sale here ,again after finding out what a fair asking price would be for what I have ,I didn't see the harm in dolig so.
I do have several 70's 80'Kodack cameras and a few others that were my mothers but I assure you none are what would be considered high quality cameras as she wouldn't have spent the money on a good camera.
I see there is some interest in these cameras from suffering here much to my surprise
I just figured they were pretty much junk .
Again I didn't mean to break the rules by asking what I have and its value and them posting it for sale at the prices quoted by those that helped me determine what I had .
My skin is thicker than that as to leave over being told the rules and I'll post pics,although they again will be low quality ones taken on my cell phone and maybe you folks can tell me what I have and what thier worth on the open market.
Not to get too personal but for my times are tight right now so I'm selling off some things ,like my beloved motorcycle and ," I hope this doesn't offend any one" but I'm a gun collector also and I'm selling some guns I looked and saved for years for to find and buy to try to ease things up just a bit . Some of these,once their gone I'll never be able to replace.
I'll dig out those other cameras and post pics and describe them to the best that my very Iimited knowledge of just what I'm looking at will allow and should I deside to sell them
I'll put them on eBay unless if OK by the forum rules a member here would like to buy them I guess there is a way to private message here on this board .
Once again I meant no harm with my actions . BTW if someone ne is willing to walk me through how to use this old camera it's the one I have that I would have some interest in learning to use , again it has a manually focused lens , how you would do this without being able to look through it is beyond me , then there's the exposer timer no idea how to use that either I think I can figure out the portrait timer and someone on another forum I belong to offered me a couple rolls of film , so it someone will teach me I'm game . I have a friend who does WWII reenactments and they LOVE guys to take pics with period cameras .I've seen some pics of him taken with period cameras that if I didn't know better I'd sware they were taken during combat in WW II .They look just like some pics my Dad had .
Thanks,
Lou |

Lou,
The fuzzy pictures might not indicate a faulty camera.
It may be that you are too close for the focussing capabilities of your camera. Step back a pace or two and see what happens.
Or
It might be that you are moving and thus shaking the camera at the moment of exposure. Try bracing yourself against a wall or the back of a chair. If possible brace your elbows on something solid and steady.
Your mother must have been an avid photographer.
How about posting some of her photos.
Mickey

She did have an old Brownie that she took lots of pics with when I was a little guy ,I know I have one in the computer she took of me and my bestest buddy( a big ' ol boxer dog that was bigger than I was at 4 years old) that I'll be glad to post, just tell where to post it and I'll have it up today.

Lou Lou, Family photos. Those are the kinds of pictures that make photography so worthwhile. From there on there are no limits to photography. Now why don't you take that phone camera out doors and see what it can do in a natural environment. HOLD IT STEADY or rest it on something like a fence or a railing or a car with motor off or a fire hydrant if Spike's descendants don't mind. Mickey |
