Awesome Find in my House!

[Nismo_Freak]

Found an old folding camera hidden away in my house. Evidently it's from around 45-49 as it says "Made in Occupied Japan" on the case. Looking around the web these things take some cool pics. I'm gonna hunt down some 120 film for it and start using it.









Anyone know where to get 120 film in town? Camera Co-Op or Holland ?

Pics taken on my new Nikon

i wouldn't want to use that camara. I would want to put behind glass or something.

dude watch its worth like 10k

Actually they are really cheap evidently, but I wanna use it ... not sell it.

They take really dramatic looking B&W photos.

neato.

where was it hidden in the house? everytime I bust a wall open, I'm always hoping something cool will be hidden in it...

I have an old polaroid I bought at a garage sale...

I love old cameras like that!!!!

[Mr1der]

my mom's got an old nikon somewhere around here...circa early 70's I believe. Maybe later then that....

I'll look for it or the model anyway...

and everyone know, if its on TV its gotta be true.

I'm wanting to say there was a story where some guy found a Babe Ruth autograph in his wall or some craziness like that...

my mom's camera is a Nikon EM from '79 it appears...

Very cool, Alan. I love old cameras.

I have an old German "stereo camera" (search Google) around here somewhere. My next door neighbor when i was a kid in HS was one of the inventors of the technology, believe it or not.

Basically, it takes 2 pictures at a time, on slide film, and the 2 lenses are 2.5" apart (just like your eyes). When projected on a wall in a special slide projector, it creates a PERFECT 3-D image.

Some Disneyland events use the same technology on a larger scale...

Also have an old Leica in the attic. Great B&W large-format pics.

I have a 50 year old mechanical Remington adding machine that still works. If anyone knows how the hell you use these things, please let me know.

[Mr1der]

I wonder if it's the same Remington that makes some bitchin' rifles and shotguns...

Nice find. Congrats!

Ah, Greg, we need to talk. A Leica does not belong in an attic in Phoenix.! It is worth way too much.

Large format? Are you sure it is a Leica, or maybe a medium format twin-lens Rolleiflex?

Anyway, get it out of the attic!

Occupied Japan cameras should have some value indeed. Who made it?
