Nice picture of a proud dog...btw is this Nettar a 6x9 camera? (just got a 6x6 super Ikonta, but still have to clean it before I can put a roll in)

also a nettar, however this one seems 6x6. I like the picture with contrasting tones and the framing is nice too

Both of these were Bessa I, Vaskar lens. Decent lens when stopped down a bit. Cheers!

Yes, thank you. Combined with modern color film this uncoated lens produces some very special effects.

Good luck.

Eddy: Giorgio is correct, of course, especially as regards the shutter actuator linkages. Do not apply force. I did, however, apply a nudge . My C had the opposite problem as yours, in that yours pops open easily when closed, while mine could barely be coaxed to unfold when I pressed the button to open it. Mind you, all this is probably unrelated to the shutter linkage bits and your problem there, unless there's been an impact over near the door and a bent strut or similar.

With the front standard already open, if you press down the opener button, you'll see it is connected to a long flat rod with a ridge near the end. This ridge in turn moves a latch inward (i.e., toward the bellows) when you press the opener button. That latch hooks onto a catch on the edge of the door. With just dull pressure from my thumb, I bent the latch imperceptibly further inward so that it hooks with the catch on the door ever so slightly less well, and the door opens with less difficulty. I would venture a guess that if you minutely nudged the latch the other way (i.e., away from the bellows) on yours, it might make the door stay closed slightly better. I would never bend it with any screwdriver or similar--just with a finger or thumb--so as not to concentrate much force at a tiny point. (Also, you want pointy metal tools nowhere near the bellows, lest something slip and rend a great hole in them.)

+1
... and I also like the composition of this one, as well the first two pictures.

I'm beginning to really wonder why we go through all the trouble of inventing 35 megapixel cameras, vibration reduction, Photoshop, zoom lenses, $5000.00 + lenses when some of this work is so scary good.

This is a set with Perkeo I. Simple Vaskar, but very fair results in b/w.

How is what you are suggesting going to line the pockets of Corporate CEO's with multi million dollar annual salaries?

The second one genuinely looks like something that doesn't exist anymore, if you get what I mean...
