Perhaps the best camera ever made for 126 cartridge film...  Everything seems to be fine, but I got this one after 126 became scarce. |

At last.
Another brick.

It's like comparing a Sherman tank to a Maserati.

Just the shape not the things that really count.

I suppose the main difference is that you can actually take a picture with the Argus brick.
Supposedly, the last source of 126 film has shut down.

Hi ! Here is my Sherman with a 80mm Zeiss Pro-Tessar: ugly camera, but nice lens. 126-film is also no longer available here.  Maybe this one would be a Maserati ?  MIK |

Hi!
If I'm not mistaken, it's possible to reload 126 cartridges from a roll of bulk film.
It would be best to find some old cartridges for the paper backing.
I read that somewhere.

I moved this topic out of the 35mm camera area.

I have all the 126 SLRs except the Contaflex. Need to get one of those, one of these days. This one, I don't know much about. Made in Japan, it has the gold oval sticker on the bottom, but I'm not sure by whom.  |

Does it have an optical lens?
If so it is probably made by A. Nonny Mouse.

Of course not. It has a "Super Keytar!" It is surprisingly hefty. Not that much plastic in it.
Apparently, the lens and meter at least, were made by Mamiya.

My apologies to Keystone.
When did they get out of the movie business?
I have one of their 8mm projectors. It is about 50 years old and still runs like new.

Never heard of your Keystone camera, but it looks very interesting ! I also know their movie cameras, I have some from the 1930`s in my collection. How about a 1968 German Kodak ?  MIK |

The Rolleiflex SL 26 feels like a quality camera, while the Kodak and the Contaflex feel somewhat cheap. The Contaflex has some outstanding lenses: Tessar, Sonnar, Tele-Tessar.
The little Rolleiflex has interchangeable front elements, sort of like the folding Retinas with the advantage of SLR focusing. I enoyed using this camera.
