Hello,
I am glad to have found this forum. I am new to collecting.
I have been interested for some time, and this week picked up a couple of cameras that were too good of a deal to pass up (I think) , even if I don't know much about them.
I like the older type of cameras, 35mm is what I know very little about and am learning as I go. I currently have a Exakta VX1000, if I am getting the model number correct, and a Kodak Master View Camera 4X5, which seems to be in pretty good shape, with a few extras in the case. I want to learn more about these two and move on from there.
So, all that to say, I have a couple of cameras to get started with, and to learn about, hopefully from some of the members on this forum who have the same interests. I don't know if I will collect, or buy and sell, but I do have an interest.

Hi Kmack, first welcome to the forum. Feel free to read any old posts and comment on them. Use the search function to look for posts regarding almost any old camera and I'm sure you'll find something about it here - particularly the Exakta VX1000 (which is probably correct). Be patient, you don't see too much activity day to day as this is a small forum but there are some real experts here with awesome collections. Where are you? its always good to know? Here is a link showing how to post photos on the forum as now it appears we have reached the limit on the server... posting photos

Hello and welcome. Don't post here as often as I should but always glad to see a new member. Exaktas are one of my passions, the VX1000 is a nice one. Got any photos?

Hi, Phil. Curt,
Thank you for the welcome. I am in the East Bay Area, East of San Francisco. I'll get some pictures up tomorrow if all goes well. I am looking forward to learning and finding some treasures:) Thank you for the welcome.

You're welcome Kevin, many of the regulars haven't been on the last few days, it's been pretty quiet. Don't let that put you off!

Welcome Kevin, to this forum! Like Phil said, it is summer and we want to play outside with our toys:-)
Do you have any Carl Zeiss Jena lenses along with the Exakta? If so, I'm interested in the numbers...

Okay, above are pictures of the Kodak, and most of the items that were also in the box. I'll put up the Exakta in the next post.

The lens shown came with the Exakta. I know these are not the best pictures but I wanted to get them up.
Thank you

Possibly they are filters, the lenses should bare the Carl Zeiss or Carl Zeiss Jena names...
