Brilliant discovery ZM..........Many thanks indeed!



P.S.

Quite a few mistakes and typos though, e.g. Ansel Adams did use, for a while, a Sinar monorail.

Did you ever find a good site on Alpa 35mm cameras?

 

[Zen Mod]

pardon my ignorance , what's Alpa ?

ZM knows Station , as usual

 

[brianco]

For your erudition ZM, Alpa made 35mm SLR cameras which (mainly) used Angineaux lenses; co. based in Switzerland. It was started as a hobby by a guy who supplied a lot of the Swiss watch industry with pinions. Digital watches spelt the closure of the parent company and Alpa went down with it, but were rescued and resucitated as makers of full system med. format beauties which could be ordered for any lens maker's products.

Now - if you bothered to read this - you are marginally less ignorant!

Quote from wikipedia:
Jen? Dulovits ? Wikipedia
"In einer Zusammenarbeit mit den Budapester optischen Werken Gamma entwarf Jenő Dulovits zuerst eine Kleinbildkamera für das reduzierte Format 24×32 mm mit Fernrohrsucher „Dufo“, und dann eine einäugige Spiegelreflex „Duflex“ mit automatisch hochklappendem Spiegel und automatischer Blende. Der Sucher war mit einem Porro-Prisma (kein Pentaprisma) ausgerüstet. Die „Duflex“-Kamera wurde am 23. August 1943 patentiert. Wegen der Kriegsverhältnisse wurden die ersten „Duflex“ Kameras erst 1947 von den staatlichen ungarischen MOM-Kamerawerken hergestellt."

And don't forget about József Petzval, who was actually a zipser, yet regarded himself as hungarian.

Remarkable quotes from Petzval:
"I defeated the light, I have it firmly in hand, because there is much darkness in the world too."
"Mankind does not exist for science's sake, but science should be used to improve the conditions of mankind."

As I can see, I am well here in the darkness.
