for those who like old cameras, there's a zeiss ikon contessa LK in the window in the dublin camera exchange at the moment - i'm not sure if the lightmeter is working perfectly though.

This is Mark after I had to break the news to him that we're NOT getting a camera with four lenses.

If anyone needs advise using one as a passport camera, let me know. I used to do passport photos at the lab I worked in with one of those.
Because it's a Polaroid.. getting the image wrong can be costly!

Hopefully you'll be using it for more artistic endeavours!

Fajitas!

I'd love it if the others can't get it.

I was bidding on one for ages on eBay, and ended up nearly getting scammed with it :-/

You do realise that you have the power to alter reality here. Just delete/edit the posts above you and Bingo! You magically become the top bidder. :pac:

There has to be some perks to this job other than just Coke & Hookers.

I was looking for one for ages aswell, at a reasonable price :-) You can take 4 different shots on the one sheet by only uncovering one of the lens at a time. I had plans...

Yeah, they're really nice things - I'd a shoot I wanted to do on it, ended up 'shopping it together :-/



Ah well. I know where Sinead goes to college.

In the lab I worked in we used a digital version of that yoke. Not Polaroid but same job. Boss went on hols and much high jinks were had. Funny thing though, there were 2 boxes of paper missing at the next stocktake....

Never seen a camera that had such a tired, sad face before

Al, sarah, daire - you're all *more* than welcome to borrow it as often as you want after I get my hands on it just give me a shout whenever. that's if Daire can hold corporeal form for long enough.

CabanSail

Does this mean you will finally get over that "Tammy" incident and the trauma will now fade?

punchdrunk

what film does it take? peel apart??

Fajitas!

Yep, the peel apart Fuji.

Ah no, it's not the same, I'll start bidding again as soon as I see something reasonable priced on eBay, I'm never around long enough to borrow stuff of people these days - Thanks though

That is a beautiful piece of kit... Dam you Sinead

i expect sinead to share it around to people who can afford to buy polaroid film

it will need a serious cleaning before any use
