Occasionally I end up with cameras I already own, usually when I am after one of the cameras in a larger lot or if they have a lens that I want, sometimes if I need parts to fix another camera. As these cameras deserve a better home, I fix them up as much as I can and offer them here.
Prices do not include shipping. Most of these cameras can be shipped for around £5 within the UK. Contact me at cjs.classic.cameras@gmail.com for shipping quotes elsewhere.
The cameras come with all accessories included in the pictures (if any).
Cameras on the left menu in grey will be coming soon, when descriptions and photos are ready. Please feel free to inquire so I can prioritise!
Rolleicord Va type 2 £125 SOLD
For sale is a ca. 1960 Rolleicord Va type 2 TLR camera with Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 75mm f/3.5 lens and Synchro-Compur shutter. It is in excellent cosmetic condition (see photos) and all functions operate smoothly. The shutter works at all speeds, including slow ones, apart from ¼ and 1/8 which, somewhat unusually, seem too fast. Time delay (V setting) untested. Lenses are clean and clear without haze, dust or fungus but do have some coating cleaning marks, fortunately the viewing lens more so than the taking lens. The focus screen is nice and bright. Infinity focus of the taking lens has been checked with a ground glass on the film frame and found to be accurate. Camera serial nr 1932425, Xenar lens serial nr 5710328.
The camera does not come with a case but does include original strap and Rollei lens cap instead. This is a fully working camera.
Agfa Karat IV Solagon f/2 £55 SOLD
Nice and working Agfa Karat IV with fast Solagon 50mm f/2 lens. This is a working camera in very good condition with a few minor flaws (it is a nearly 60 years old camera after all!).The Prontor-SVS shutter sounds accurate at all speeds, including the slow speeds down to 1s, but the speeds have not been officially tested. No oil or grease on blades. The rangefinder is accurate (both horizontal and vertical) with a very clear, bright rangefinder patch and a clear viewfinder with no dust or marks. The coated Solagon f/2 50mm lens is lovely and clear with nearly no dust inside, it does however a few very slight coating marks near the edge of the front cell. The aperture opens and closes as it should. The camera focuses from 1m to infinity but feels perhaps a little jerky. Infinity focus confirmed to be correct with ground glass on film gate. The interior and exterior of the camera are very clean, please see pictures for details of its condition. Bellows are intact and lightproof.
Now for the few flaws (which do not influence the camera’s ability to take pictures). A small dent in the top housing above the viewfinder (see picture) and some very slight scuffs. The time delay (V setting on the shutter) does not work, but the shutter does not get stuck when you try, it can easily be pushed back. The wind lever sometimes needs a little help returning to its home position after winding. The pop-out mechanism of the lens and shutter works fine, but needs a little push to fix at full extension. Untested: flash sync. This camera has been tested with a dummy film to make sure all functions are work, but no actual photos have been taken with this camera. A lovely example for display or for actual use! Comes with non-original Agfa case.
Agfa Super Silette Solagon f/2 £50 SOLD
This Agfa Super Silette is fully working in excellent condition. The Synchro-Compur shutter sounds accurate at all speeds, including the slow speeds down to 1s, but the speeds have not been officially tested. No oil or grease on blades. Time delay (V setting) also works. The rangefinder is accurate with a very clear, bright rangefinder patch and a clear viewfinder with no dust or marks. Perhaps the tiniest of vertical offsets. The coated Solagon f/2 50mm lens is lovely and clear with nearly no dust inside and no coating marks. The aperture opens and closes as it should. The camera focuses smoothly from 3.5 ft to infinity but is a little stiff. Infinity focus confirmed to be correct with ground glass on film gate. The interior and exterior of the camera are very clean, please see pictures for details of its condition. Frame counter works, rewind works. Untested: flash sync. Comes with original Agfa case.
Ambi Silette outfit (incl 3 lenses) £110 SOLD
Agfa Ambi Silette outfit with three interchangeable 35mm, 50mm and 90 mm lenses in great condition.
The Synchro-Compur shutter sounds accurate at all speeds, including the slow speeds down to 1s, but the speeds have not been officially tested. No oil or grease on blades. Time delay (V setting) also works, but needs a little push to get it going. The rangefinder is bang on with a very clear, bright rangefinder patch and a clear viewfinder with no dust or marks. Frame lines very clear and button to change between focal lengths works well. The Color-Solinar 50mm f/2.8, Color-Telinear 90mm f/4 and Color-Ambion 35mm f/4 lenses are all lovely and clear with nearly no dust inside. No coating marks other than a small mark on the rear element of the 35mm lens (see last picture), which is unlikely to show up in photos as it is invisible when held against the light. All lenses focus smoothly and the apertures open and close as they should and are very clean. Infinity focus confirmed to be correct with ground glass on film gate. The interior and exterior of the camera are very clean, please see pictures for details of its condition. Frame counter works, rewind works, lens bayonet mount operates smoothly. Comes with original Agfa case and containers for 35mm and 90mm lenses. The one for the 90mm has a few scuffs and cracks but protects the lens just fine. The 35mm one is in very good condition.
