Camera On-Deck

Spartus TLR

Next up for a test roll: the Spartus. It's basic, it's old, and I think it's actually supposed to take 620 film, although I managed to successfully load a roll of 120.

Mom says...

how old is this camera?

Diana says...

The info I've found online says that this camera was made between 1948 and 1960. So, it's around 50 years old.

Funny -- I don't expect my Nikon DSLR to still be working in another 50 years. :-)

By the way? This is why I don't find any decent antique cameras at Goodwill anymore:

Damn them, anyway.
