Ross Ensign Selfix 820

[daveh]

I have had this for a couple of years. It belonged to a friend's brother-in-law and was passed on to me. It's in pretty good, but used, condition and the shutter speeds seem fairly accurate (to the ear anyway). The stitching on the case is failing and one of the straps is weak just above where it is riveted to the body (of the case).






I haven't put a film through it yet: perhaps I shall soon.

Certainly looks like it's in good shape! Would love to know how well it works. Is that 120 film or 620?

Ron, 8 0r 12 exposures on 120 film, I believe.

I have quite a collection of old folders, too. I must get around to using them!

My German cameras;

My Kodak cameras;

And, one Russian Moskva:


I also have three Speed Graphics, a 4x5 view camera and an old Burke & James 8x10 view camera that I have no pictures of at the moment!

Don't tell my Mamiya collection ... they think they're the only ones here!

Ron, I have never really set out to be a camera collector. In the main I buy something to use, but while many sell on when the next camera arrives I usually just put in a box somewhere and hang on to it. I must have at least one box I haven't come across on my recent searches through the loft. There are the older Pentaxes - SF7 and SF-X with lenses and also the Illoca. Somewhere too there is an old folder and an Agfa TLR. There is a Fed somewhere too.

I have (or had, having cleared several out to make space) a similar collection of computers.
