Alright, so I joined up here about a month ago for just another excuse to talk cameras and show off my camera collection......I'm just getting around to it now. Haha Anyway, here is the first camera mugshot from my collection. Attachment Deleted The first one I'm uploading here is one of my favorites, and from what I've learned is somewhat uncommon to come across. It's an Arnold Linco-Flex (aka. Karma-Flex 4x4 model ll). A small German pseudo TLR camera made by a guy named Karl Arnold in 1932-33. It comes from a series of cameras called Karma-Flex and it took 127 film. Should I mention that I picked this up for $29 at a local antique store...haha. |

Alright, I can see that the photo I uploaded is very small and honestly this was the smallest I could do before it would let me upload. My apologies. I'm doing this from my phone right now so I'll have to see if when I get on my desk top trying to upload a better photo.
Anyway, that's the first camera.
Cheers
Derek

Looks like a special camera, handsome. Not an easy camera to find. Have you taken any Pictures With it?

And what a start to your collection. Yes the image is to small to see. Link from photobucket or Fotki. Its better. I prefer fotki where this image is hosted. From McKeowns collector guide. I don't see your camera there. I find the valuations in the ball park. You definitely have a bargain.  |

 Hosted on FotkiAlright, now we're in business. Here is the larger version of the Arnold Linco Flex camera I posted. Thanks for the tip on using fotki Phil. Interesting how its not in Mckeown's but I do see a description of the TLR version of this in your image link. Most of them say KarmaFlex on the viewing hood but this one, from what I've been told with the LincoFlex inscription is a little more scarce. So that may be why. This is only the first upload and the rarest camera from my camera collection. I shall be uploading more photos soon. Derek |

Now THAT'S retro! Nice addition! In reasonable shape for its age, too. (y) The y is supposed to be a thumbs up . . . guess this HTML doesn't use it.  |
