I have one that I bought back when it was new. I loved using this camera. It's smooth action lets you know that Leica had a hand in it.

I too am a fountain pen lover,user and collector. Interested in exactly what all you got there. My wife and I go to garage sales a good bit but any decent fountain pens are few and far between.

My son was out at a garage sale this morning and called me asking if I wanted an old camera he had found. After he described it, I said sure. This is it, a Zeiss Icon Contina IIA, in pretty good shape for it's age. Also coming with it was this lens cleaning cloth that I figure was given away when someone bought a Leica. Now where is the Leica that it came with? Anyway I think I got my $5 worth.

Attachment DeletedMy Memo is a 5 digit serial number so they must have made a bunch of them. My Dial 35 works fine. I have used it but not in a ling time.

I also have the Pentax 110 zoom and 3 other lenses along with 2 bodies, one is the clear version where you can see the mechanism. Back when it was new, I bought the whole system at one time, kept it for a few years and later sold it along with lots of other now collectible cameras to pay for my wedding and honeymoon. It was my second marriage and I guess I was trying to show off. One of those things that you so wish you hadn't done. Cameras are gone but I still have the wife.

Was that picture of the paddle wheel made recently? I thought the Mississippi river was so low that a boat that big couldn't navigate on it.

So, another fellow multi-collector. I also collect fountain pens among other things. I prefer using a fountain pen instead of either ball points or soft tips. My 'museum' space is about 50-50 between pens and cameras. I also have several other things that I collect, but won't go into that now. It's a disease, I know.

I also would love to have it if it isn't going abroad. I'm in Alabama.

As far as usable older digitals, my all time favorite is the NIKON COOLPIX 990. It is a mere 3 megapixel camera and was my first real digital camera. I have many 11x14 prints made with it and I would defy you to tell them from most 14 megapixel 11x14s. I actually have 3 990s. The first one I bought when it was new and cost me $900. Several years later I found one at a garage sale for 50 cents, and even later I was given another by a friend who knows I collect cameras. The 990 is still a fine camera especially for closeups.

I have no experience with the PM1, but I do with the PL1. I really, really like it. I liked it so well that I bought 2 of them. In fact I bought 3 of them, but gave one to a grand daughter who has a better eye for photography than I ever did. I have used several different lens adapters on the PL1 and have been very pleased with them all. I am away from home right now and I don't remember all of the adapters, but at least I have the Minolta, Canon, Nikon, Leica, and Pentax adapters. The PL1 can be found very low priced and I highly recommend it.

Here are a couple of oldies, relatively. A couple of the first consumer digital cameras by each company, from way back in 1995. Both were 1/3 megapixels and neither had a display nor removable storage, but they were available to the average consumer, as long as you could afford a $1000 camera. The Kodak connected to your computer via a serial port and the Nikon was inserted into a PCMCIA slot to transfer pictures. The Kodak still seems to take pictures, but requires a special serial cable which I don't have. The Nikon no longer works. I have been slowly collecting old digital cameras. mostly at garage sales, etc and have about 90 different models now, but these are my oldest.

I really have never used all of them, but they seem to be in working order. The only one I have used is the Rolleiflex. I took it with me on my senior class trip to New York in 1958. It belonged to my sister. Several of my cameras were given to me by friends and relatives as was this one. Very nice collection, Fred; all working? (Of course I miss the Ikoflex...:-) Hans

The big one is a Beattie Imperial 90. It uses 90mm roll film. Mine doesn't have the roll film back though and the paint is falling off badly, but I still like it. ....Fred Hi Fred, This is really a nice collection ! For which kind of film is the big one ? MIK
