Zenobia

Charleston SC

"One man's trash is another man's treasure".

This unusual MF folder from 1949 was being 'disposed of', so I saved it
from the graveyard for the price of a cup of coffee. Works very smoothly
in all respects. Just has some cosmetic issues - about 62 years of them to be precise.

A small, folding, medium format camera from post-war Japan, 1949.
A product of the Daiichi Optical Co. of Japan.

I'm looking forward to trying out this small veteran.

Leica D-Lux 2

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I can hear the sound and the feel of it as you set the aperture.
What a little beauty.
